A study of the lead‐free hot air solder levelling process
Jack FellmanThe traditional surface finish for bare boards, eutectic tin‐lead solder from the HASL process, is well characterized, but very little is known about the implementation of lead…
Non‐planar interconnect
Gavin Williams, Luke Seed, Alan Purvis, Andrew Maiden, Richard McWilliam, Peter IveyThis paper describes a method for patterning fine line interconnections over non‐planar surfaces and introduces the idea of using holographic masks for more challenging geometries.
An investigation of the recommended immersion tin thickness for lead‐free soldering
Sven LamprechtThis paper describes the different thickness measurement techniques that enable reliable thickness assessments, and the determination of the recommended immersion tin thickness…
Water use in the printed circuit board manufacturing process and approaches for reducing consumption
Martin GooseyTo review water use in the PCB industry and to introduce approaches for minimising its consumption in order to reduce costs, enhance efficiency and to enable PCB producers to…
Renewable resources for use in printed circuit boards
H. Nägele, J. Pfitzer, C. Lehnberger, H. Landeck, K. Birkner, U. Viebahn, W. Scheel, R. Schmidt, M. Hagelüken, J. MüllerThis paper focuses on the project “Development of electronic components on circuit boards made of renewable resources” which has the aim of developing materials and technologies…
