Abstract

As illustrated in Chapter 2 about solder paste technology, after reflowing the solder paste and cleaning the residue, another major performance area is solder joint integrity during service. With the functions as electrical, thermal, and mechanical linkage, solder joint integrity in a practical environment is apparently vital to the overall function of the assembly.
