Dr. Jennie Hwang to Speak on Reliability of Electronics at SMTAI 2017
August 24, 2017 | Dr. Jennie HwangEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Solder joint reliability plays a critical role in the reliability of the entire spectrum of end-use electronic products from consumer to industrial, from computing to IoT, from medical to military applications. In lead-free electronics, intermetallic compounds become increasingly important to the performance and reliability of solder interconnections in the chip level, package level and board level.
Understanding the essential fundamentals and key factors behind intermetallics and solder joint reliability is a necessity to designing and manufacturing reliable products.
At the upcoming SMTA International 2017 conference, Dr. Jennie S. Hwang leverages her decades of comprehensive real-world experiences and deep knowledge to address solder joint reliability and the role of intermetallic compounds by integrating scientific fundamentals with practical requirements. Dr. Hwang will discuss relevant aspects of solder joint reliability at her Workshop 12 – “Solder Joint Reliability - Principles and Applications,” and Workshop 18 – “Reliability of Electronics – The Role of Intermetallic Compounds.” Attendees are encouraged to bring their own selected systems for deliberation.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
