Currently, Dr. Ribas is the manager for the metals technology group at Alpha Assembly Solutions. Her work has appeared in more than 50 publications, including technical journals, conference proceed- ings, and patents. The other contributing authors for this book are Tom Hunsinger; Traian Cucu, Ph.D.; Ramakrishna H V, Ph.D.; Garian Lim; and Mike Murphy. by Morgana Ribas, Ph.D., et al., Alpha Assembly Solutions With the move to lead-free solder, the electronics man- ufacturing industry now has the opportunity to explore and implement assembly solutions that take advantage of lower temperature materials and processes. Written by Morgana Ribas and other expert authors from Alpha As- sembly Solutions, this book provides an introduction to the evolution of modern low-temperature soldering, il- lustrates the importance of chemistry when developing low-temperature solders, and discusses advanced and emerging applications where lower melting point alloys can provide unique assembly solutions. Readers will learn the benefits low-temperature alloys have to offer, such as reducing costs, creating more reliable solder joints, and overcoming design limitations with traditional alloys. The Printed Circuit Assembler's Guide to... ™ Low-Temperature Soldering "This book does a good job of distilling out the chaff and focusing on the most relevant, valuable information available, including main drivers for the current worldwide interest in low-temperature soldering, the history of solder paste alloys and flux developments, as well as various applications for these materials." — Raiyo Aspandiar, Ph.D., Senior Engineer, Intel Corporation ABOUT THE AUTHOR FREE DOWNLOAD PRINT ON DEMAND
