Fundamentals of Lead-Free Solder Interconnect Technology: From Microstructures to Reliability - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This unique book provides an up-to-date overview of the fundamental concepts behind lead-free solder and interconnection technology. Readers will find a description of the rapidly increasing presence of electronic systems in all aspects of modern life as well as the increasing need for predictable reliability in electronic systems. The physical and mechanical properties of lead-free solders are examined in detail, and building on fundamental science, the mechanisms responsible for damage and failure evolution, which affect reliability of lead-free solder joints are identified based on microstructure evolution. The continuing miniaturization of electronic systems will increase the demand on the performance of solder joints, which will require new alloy and processing strategies as well as interconnection design strategies. This book provides a foundation on which improved performance and new design approaches can be based.

In summary, this book:

• Provides an up-to-date overview on lead-free soldering technologies
• Covers the fundamentals, implementation, reliability, challenges and risks of lead-free soldering technique
• Explores emerging technologies in lead-free soldering
