Gold Plating Thickness and Soldering Reliability of Solder Balls for Electroless Gold Plated TAB Tape Carrier.

The Root Cause of Black Pad Failure of Solder Joints with Electroless Ni/Immersion Gold Plating

This paper reports on a study of the reaction of solder with the electrolessnickel with immersion gold (ENIG) plating system, and the resulting interfacial structures. A focused-ion beam (FIB) was used to polish the cross sections to reveal details of the microstructure of the ENIGplated pad with and without soldering. High-speed pull testing of solder joints was performed to expose the pad sur...

Gold Embrittlement of Solder Joints

Gold embrittlement of solder joints has been written about for at least four decades [1 – 3]. Nevertheless, gold embrittlement related solder joint failures have been analyzed in this laboratory as recently as July 2009. Gold embrittlement can be avoided by careful solder joint design and knowledge of the causes of this condition. The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed account of ma...

Galvanic gold plating for fixed dental prosthesis

Metal ceramic partial fixed dental prostheses have been commonly used for the replacement of missing teeth for many years. Because of an increase in the price of gold, base metal alloys have been the choice of alloy for the fabrication of metal ceramic restorations in many dental clinics. Some major disadvantages of base metals are their corrosion and the dark coloration they may cause at the c...
