Our research was done to further promote the use of Pb-free solders. And it is tried to improve the thermal fatigue life by adding a small amount of Al to conventional Sn-Ag Pb-free solders. Ceramic ball grid arrays (C-BGAs), whose uses will increase in the future, were selected as the most crucial issue in thermal fatigue. Moreover, Sn-Ag solder as the mother solder alloy is used, to which we added a 0.1 and 0.05% wt. of Al. There were two kinds of fatigue fracture. In the first, the crack propagates inside the solder bump, and in the second, the crack propagates near the jointed solder and substrate interface. The fatigue life showed considerable improvement for the first mode, but no improvement for the second","PeriodicalId":383623,"journal":{"name":"2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124878732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the zeolites with no metal loaded, H-ZSM-5 (Si/Al2=29) zeolite had especially high activity for the formation of BTX compounds (benzene, toluene, xylenes), while other zeolites exclusively formed ethylene. The addition of Ga and Pd on H-ZSM-5 support resulted in the increased formation of BTX. The addition of Fe and Ni as well as Cr and some noble metals raised the formation of C3+olefins in some degree. Carbon deposition on catalyst occurred during the reaction. In general, the catalysts yielding BTX in high selectivity deposit large amount of carbon, except for the cases of zeolites other than H-ZSM-5. Among the metal catalysts supported on H-ZSM-5 zeolite, Cr, Fe and Au catalysts can inhibit carbon deposition in some degrees and the catalytic activity for the formation of BTX was kept constant.","PeriodicalId":383623,"journal":{"name":"2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121167398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, an understanding of the components of eco-design and both their internal and external interactions might help in identifying eco-design hierarchy and structural aspects of its components.
