Lead-Free Electronics

Lead-free Electronics provides guidance on the design and use oflead-free electronics as well as technical and legislativeperspectives. All the complex challenges confronting theelec-tronics industry are skillfully addressed:
* Complying with state legislation
* Implementing the transition to lead-free electronics, includinganticipating associated costs and potential supply chainissues
* Understanding intellectual property issues in lead-free alloysand their applications, including licensing and infringement
* Implementing cost effective manufacturing and testing
* Reducing risks due to tin whiskers
* Finding lead-free solutions in harsh environments such as in theautomotive and telecommunications industries
* Understanding the capabilities and limitations of conductiveadhesives in lead-free interconnects
* Devising solutions for lead-free, flip-chip interconnects inhigh-performance integrated circuit products

Each chapter is written by leading experts in the field andcarefully edited to ensure a consistent approach. Readers will findall the latest information, including the most recent data oncyclic thermomechanical deformation properties of lead-free SnAgCualloys and a comparison of the properties of standard Sn-Pb versuslead-free alloys, using the energy partitioning approach.

With legislative and market pressure to eliminate the use of leadin electronics manufacturing, this timely publication is essentialreading for all engineers and professionals in the electronicsindustry.
