High-current-density interconnects in focus
NPL's latest project addresses the interconnect challenge that arises from Moore's Law
He is already leading two projects.
The first is 'Tin pest', studying whether the phenomenon occurs in lead-free assemblies, and if so the extent of any joint degradation.
During the 3 year project, various alloys and environmental conditions will be tested using different monitoring methods.
This work will provide industry with the necessary information about the risk of using the new alloys in cold environments.
The second project 'Vibration stressing' is studying whether the application of vibration (up to 2kHz) has any detrimental effect on the integrity of lead-free solder joints.
During the project a new testing machine will be developed.
This will standardise high frequency vibration testing of solder joints allowing different alloys and conditions to be compared.
