Hi James,
Well, if we count Brian's experience input we are talking about 50 years. In
actual reliability activity we are talking about a span of 20 years [early
work by Wild and Solomon in the 70's and lots of OEM activity in the 80's].
However, because so many other things were changing at the same time, all these 20
years cannot be counted towards the development of understanding SJ
reliability. My estimate is that a concentrated, concerted effort that includes the
combined resources of our industry can do what is needed in 2 years. However,
what are the chances of this happening.....?
For Pb-bearing solders, the initial reliability work was for eutectic and
near-eutectic Sn/Pb; solders with Ag additions were later found not to behave
significantly different.
Regards,
