While the transition to Pb-free solder materials is almost complete for most electronic segments, the ongoing reliability requirements of next-generation electronics have introduced significant new challenges and triggered intensive global research. This is being driven by trends including:(1) the ongoing miniaturization and 3D integration of consumer electronics for improved performance (eg, processor speeds and bandwidth) which leads to higher current densities and steeper temperature gradients across fine pitch joints;(2) the operation of joints in harsher environmental conditions, which can, for example, enable electronic component units (ECUs) to be moved closer to the engine, reducing wiring and, therefore, mass;(3) the move towards higher reliability electronics caused by the increased reliance on sensors in applications from security monitoring to electrical and autonomous driving; and (4) the need for reliable, low-temperature solder alloys that have economic and environmental benefits and can reduce the dynamic warpage that is necessary for the assembly of thin, flexible electronics.Many of the challenges for the improved reliability of electronic interconnections are materials challenges. For example, new interconnection materials are required for safe operation at higher temperature, cycling through larger temperature ranges whilst enduring higher current densities, steeper temperature gradients and impact loading. These may include new solder alloys, sintering pastes, and conductive adhesives, which in turn may require new, optimized substrates, surface finishes and fluxes. At the same time, new manufacturing processes, such as new deposition methods, transient liquid phase bonding approaches, and direct Cu-Cu bonding, are being explored and implemented. In parallel, to improve the prediction of in-service reliability and joint lifetime,
