Contract Research

From simple projects to million-dollar programs, DfR Solutions can conduct the research you need — quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost. DfR’s current research activities include:

  • Development of an interconnect reliability model for Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) and Sn-Ni-Cu (SNC) solders
  • Reliability prediction and time to failure behavior of current (90nm and 65nm) and next (45nm) generation integrated circuits
  • Wearout behavior and quality indicators of liquid aluminum electrolytic capacitors with low ESR electrolyte
  • Industry surveys of quality and reliability practices for component engineering
  • Technology assessment of system in package (SiP) configurations (materials, design, process)
  • Vibration and mechanical shock behaviors of 1st- and 2nd-generation lead-free solders
  • Influence of higher reflow temperatures on the robustness of large, complex printed circuit boards
  • Process optimization and environmental degradation of conductive adhesives
