Abstract

The worldwide transition to lead-free electronics has increased the usage of several lead-free pad finishes for electronic assembly manufacturers, including immersion silver, immersion tin, electroless nickel-immersion gold, and organic solderability preservatives. This study assesses and compares immersion silver as a circuit board finish in terms of its ease of use, wettability, solderability, shelf life, appearance, solder joint strength, intermetallic and void formation, reliability, and costs.
