Keys for compliance are material declarations. This paper gives an overview on harmonization and standardization efforts world wide. The International Material Data System IMDS is relevant for the automotive sector, but is also a benchmark for the whole electronics industry. EIA, EICTA, and JGPSSI jointly elaborate a materials declaration guideline. In parallel national industry associations develop declaration schemes, such as the Umbrella Specifications in Germany. Standardization activities comprise e.g. the German DIN 19220. Even more, some OEM developed own requirements for material declarations. The philosophy behind all these activities is explained, as well as contradictions. The range of declarations spans from 100% declarations to simple lead free markings. But even lead free marking is not that simple: different logos and approaches for lead free are under development to guarantee compliance with the European RoHS legislation. Material declarations are useful to fulfill customer requirements and to prove legal compliance, but could also be used for \"eco-design\". Material content of an electronic product is just one aspect for eco-design, but an important one. The paper describes how the different approaches for material declarations can support an eco-design policy and where they might hinder eco-design. Within the technical product design process early consideration of component compositions can add a new ecological perspective to the traditional design process, preparing for coming EU legislation on eco-design. An outlook is given of how to integrate environment-related material aspects within the design process.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

Both experimental and modeling methods were applied. In the experiments, the contact resistance was used as a quality indicator and was measured continuously during the accelerated tests (autoclave tests). The temperature, relative humidity and the pressure were set at 121/spl deg/C, 100%RH, 1atm respectively. The contact resistance of the ACF joints increased during the tests and nearly 25% of the joints were found to be open after 168 hours' testing time. Visible conduction gaps between the adhesive and substrate pads were observed. Cracks at the adhesive/flex interface were also found. It is believed that the swelling effect of the adhesive and the water penetration along the adhesive/flex interface are the main causes of this contact degradation. Another finding from the experimental work was that the ACF interconnections that had undergone the reflow treatment were more sensitive to the moisture and showed worse reliability during the tests. For a better understanding of the experimental results, 3D finite element (FE) models were built and a macro-micro modeling method was used to determine the moisture diffusion and moisture-induced stresses inside the ACF joints. Modeling results are consistent with the findings in the experimental work.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

It is demonstrated that, using these regression models, reliability predictions can be made efficiently based on limited available testing data. Reliability estimation using traditional approaches generally considers electronic system failure rates as fixed but unknown constants, which can be estimated from sample test data taken randomly from the population. Prior knowledge is not used. Bayesian reliability inference, on the other hand, considers the failure rates as random, not fixed, quantities. Bayesian methods allow the incorporation of one's prior knowledge into the estimating process. Combining one's prior knowledge and limited testing results, reliability can be estimated more effectively. However, Bayesian reliability analysis has not been extensively applied in industry. One major reason is the complexity of the procedure and the computational intensity involved. In this paper, empirical regression models are developed to estimate the parameters related to Bayesian reliability point and interval estimation procedures.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

We also show that the portable XRF analyzer can be used for rapid screening of plastics and resins for presence of brominated flame retardants. While it is true that the XRF method cannot distinguish trivalent from hexavalent chromium, it will nevertheless report the total chromium concentration, which is useful and conclusive information if the reported concentration is below the threshold level. Similarly, XRF can only measure bromine concentration as an element regardless whether from the banned or permitted bromine compound. However, the very fact that the instrument can assert the absence of bromine may be sufficient to avoid more labor intensive and costly tests specific for bromine. The subject instrument can also analyze alloys. We show that its performance in analysis of lead in \"lead-free\" tin solder allows for effective control and prevention of the problem of \"tin whiskering\".","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

To champion this concept for sustainability and practice for a closed-loop product life cycle, a proper tool is often a necessity, facilitating companies to make favorable design decisions and achieve desirable outcomes. In this paper, a methodically structured design planning approach is introduced to support the measure and enhancement of the reutilisation potential of products. The mechanism of this approach articulates the identification of reutilisation strategy at the system level with the reusability evaluation and configurations at the component level. The effect on waste reduction is assessed by estimating the consequent scrap rates of the components as well as the system. Finally, an example is provided to demonstrate the implementation of the approach.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

The results indicate that the melting points of Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-3.5Ag-1.7Cu solders are quite similar with one eutectic peak, while Sn-0.5Ag-4Cu solder has two endothermal peaks according to /spl beta/ | Cu/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ + Ag/sub 3/Sn /spl rarr/ L and /spl beta/ + Cu/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ /spl rarr/ L reactions, respectively. With the increasing Cu content in Sn-3.5Ag, Sn-3.5Ag-0.7Cu and Sn-3.5Ag-1.7Cu solders, the IMC thickness decreases due to the decrease of the dissolution rate of the IMC. The IMC thickness of Sn-0.5Ag-4Cu is quite thin when the soldering time is short. However, with increasing soldering time, the thickness turns thick very soon, which is led by the precipitation effect of the Cu/sub 6/Sn/sub 5/ in the liquid solder.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

The applied current density was 2.3/spl times/10/sup 4/ A/cm/sup 2/, and the operating temperatures were 180/spl deg/C and 160/spl deg/C. The UBM consisted of Cu and Ni electroplate with thickness of 20 /spl mu/m and 10 /spl mu/m (or 5 /spl mu/m), respectively. Pb-free solder bumps, SnAg and SnAgCu alloys, were utilized to perform the experiment. An SnPb eutectic solder bump was also tested in contrast to the different Pb-free solder bumps. Electromigration failure was observed only at the solder bump/UBM interface with electron current flow from the chip to the substrate. Mass IMC (intermetallic compound) dissolution and void nucleation near the cathode were observed during current stressing. Failure took place in the region of the UBM and UBM/bump interface in the form of solder cracking or delamination. Otherwise, in different Pb-free bumps, Ni followed by Cu migration along the electron wind direction was observed. Pb-free solder bumps had a longer failure time than that of SnPb bumps at high temperatures. Effects of current crowding and IMC polarity are key factors of flip-chip interconnects' electromigration behavior.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

However, little information in detail related to the dynamic responses of the hard disk drive (HDD) cover and suspension, which is closely related with the stress and strain in the solder joints during the mechanical shock, has been reported. In this paper, comprehensive dynamic response of the suspension and the corresponding distribution of stress and strain of the solder joints during the impact process are captured, and it is found that the solder joint failures mainly concentrate at the interface between solder and suspension. The failure mode and location of solder joints simulated by modeling is in good agreement with the mechanical shock experiment.","PeriodicalId":405792,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2005 International Conference on Asian Green Electronics, 2005.

However, sustainability is asking for a simultaneous consideration of environmental, economical, and socio-cultural effects during the design or development process. This objective can only be achieved by precompetitive collaboration along the value chain and across regions.
