Advancement in Soldering Technology Main Issues and Its Perspectives - Part 1

Abstract

The advancement of electronics and related instrumentation would be possible in mass production of electrical and electronics components/equipments with accomplishment and advances in soldering technology. With the advent of different components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and especially integrated circuits have changed the electronics world completely. As there is an intensive demand for package miniaturization and the density of surface mount components and other interconnects continues to advance, the technology for solder attachment methods must also improve and continue to evolve. This paper discusses the evolvement of soldering techniques, its applications and the criteria to select proper soldering techniques for specific applications.
