  • Patent number: 11285569
    Abstract: The invention relates to a soldering material comprising an alloy that in addition to Sn (tin) as the major constituent, comprises 10 wt. % or less Ag (silver), 10 wt. % or less Bi (bismuth), 10 wt. % or less Sb (antimony) and 3 wt. % or less Cu (copper). Furthermore, the invention relates to a soldering material comprising a plurality of soldering components with such alloy compositions and contents in the soldering material that on fusing the soldering components an alloy is formed that comprises Sn, Ag, Bi, Sb and Cu in the abovementioned alloy contents.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6648210
    Abstract: Tombstoning susceptibility and reflow peak temperature reduction of solder alloys, in particularly lead-free solder alloys, has been found to be achieved effectively by mixing the solder alloy in the form of an alloy paste with a low melting alloy utilised in powder form, in particular a Bi-containing alloy.
