The move to lead-free solders has its own challenges and hidden problems Peak reflow temperature increases and the imperfectly known characteristics of new materials lie at the core of the problem. Will the new finish layer on the lead frame adhere well to the epoxy? Will the epoxy stick to the die face?  |
