Has the Time Finally Come for Tin-nickel Plating?

12/09/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 Magazine
In the 1980s, Electrochemicals, Inc. (now Electrochemical Products) made a significant shift from furniture and industrial goods to electronics and manufacturing. During this journey, a tin-nickel plating alloy was developed. In 1984, Mike Carano, a young engineer, published a paper on tin-nickel plating alloy, but after some initial attention, the plating solution fell into obscurity. Today, PCB fabrication looks largely the same, yet changes are afoot, chiefly due to the demands for very fine feature capability on printed circuit boards, as well as environmental sustainability. So, in this fascinating conversation with Mike Carano and Happy Holden, we take another look at tin-nickel and its advantages in both performance and sustainability.

Some Fundamentals of Tin-Bismuth Metallurgy and Electromigration 

09/24/2024 | Prabjit Singh, Raiyo Aspandiar, Haley Fu, and L. A. Swaminathan
Near-eutectic tin-bismuth alloy is a strong contender as the solder of choice for low-temperature electronic assembly applications. This article will describe the recent significant developments by the iNEMI project team on the understanding of the electromigration behavior of Sn-Bi solder which has a unique physical metallurgy and electromigration behavior quite different for that of Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) solder and other solders in common use today.
