Lead-free Technology Workshop

Sponsored by: The TMS Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division (EMPMD)
Date: Sunday, February 13, 2005
Time: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm
Location: San Francisco Marriott Hotel, Golden Gate Hall B2

This free, one-day workshop will include a current state-of-the-art review of Pb-free solder technology. It will consider the key challenges facing Pb-free technology for future needs in electronic packaging and assembly. Note: Pre-registration for this workshop is not required.

Specific topics

• Pb-free flip-chip packaging: is a high-Pb bump required to meet future technology demands? Pb-free solder under-bump metallization, electromigration in flip-chip solder joints, advanced interconnect technologies for stress management
  
  
• Pb-free BGA interconnects: long term reliability of Sn-Ag-x solder joints, fatigue resistant Pb-free solder development, Pb-free board and component surface finishes
  
  
• Nano–technology in electronic packaging: interconnects for optical/optoelectronic and MEMS packaging, etc.
