iNEMI LTS Tech Topic Series: Thermal Fatigue Performance in BiSn-Based Low-Temperature Solder Joints
January 31, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
There is an increasing interest in some market segments to use solder alloys with lower melting temperatures for electronics assembly. Low-temperature solder (LTS) can provide manufacturing, economic, and environmental benefits. Since 2015, the iNEMI BiSn-Based Low-Temperature Soldering Process and Reliability project has been evaluating LTS paste formulations based on the Bi-Sn system. This webinar will report the results and lessons learned from the thermal cycling tests of low-temperature solders completed to date on three types of LTS solder joints: homogeneous, hybrid (heterogeneous), and hybrid formed with joint reinforced pastes (JRP). Get additional details about testing to be discussed in this webinar.
