Hi Doug! There will be a session on Impedance Spectroscopy at the Nepcon West Conference February 23-28. The session will be looking at several different aspects of the technology. Here is what tentatively scheduled as papers: 1. A General Overview of IS Technology 2. AC IS Evaluation of Polymer Thick Film Resistor Inks 3. AC IS For Plastic Component Hermeticity Qualification 4. Gauge R&R Studies of IS tests on Solder Paste 5. Use of IS for Evaluating Environmental Impact on Solder Paste 6. Analyzing Residue Materials Using AC IS Techniques I believe that the above presentations/papers are in the AC Impedance realm rather than the DC Impedance realm but some of the presenters are looking at DC applications too. Give me a call and we can discuss further.

I had a discussion this morning with a customer regarding the relative merits of DC-based SIR testing vs. the newer impedance spectroscopy, which is AC-based. I know of it and the basic operating theory, but not much more. Is there anyone in the TechNet crowd who has started to use impedance spectroscopy as a research or production tool? Or more to the point, willing to share information on this new tool? I think it is an exciting concept. Thanks for any input.
