Hi Jim - I have used impedance spectroscopy techniques to evaluate a
potential solder paste candidate and as a method of process control. The
test is very easy to conduct but you do need to have a good understanding
of how to generate a equivalent circuit model for the solder paste you are
testing and you do need to build up a use history to understand how the
modeling relates to manufacturing problems. The folks at ACI/EMPF in
Philadelphia are a good source of info (contact Greg Brobjorg at
610-362-1200, ext. 218 for more info on both the technique and equipment)
or shoot me an email with more specific questions. Good Luck.

Subject: [TN] Impedance Measurements of Solder Paste
Technetters:
Is anyone using impedance measurement as a process control in their
manufacturing area? I have a copy of a paper from the EMPF published in
the April/97 edition of 'Assembly' and it describes this process. Looks
like an easy way to characterize paste. Anybody using this technique to
identify bad paste?
