Indium Corporation's Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, Vice President of Technology, co-authored Assembly and Reliability of Lead-Free Solder Joints with Dr. John H. Lau. The book is a new source on lead-free solder joints for advanced reliability across the complete food chain of electronics products.
The first edition of Assembly and Reliability of Lead-Free Solder, published by Springer, Singapore, is currently available in print and eBook forms. It explores both principles and engineering practices, and provides a comprehensive overview of electronics products—from electronic manufacturing services (EMS) on second-level interconnects, to packaging assembly on first-level interconnects, and the semiconductor backend on 3D IC integration interconnects.
Each chapter delves into a different topic relevant to the industry, including solder joints in conventional and advanced packaging components, commonly used lead-free materials, soldering processes, advanced specialty flux designs, characterization of lead-free solder joints, reliability testing and data analyses, design for reliability, and failure analyses for lead-free solder joints.
To purchase a copy of Assembly and Reliability of Lead-Free Solder Joints, visit SpringerLink or Amazon. The book's ISBNs are 978-981-15-3919-0 for print and 978-981-15-3920-6 for digital.
Dr. Lee has been with Indium Corporation since 1986. He has more than three decades of experience in the development of fluxes, alloys, and solder pastes for SMT industries.
