  • PLATING DESIGN AND PROCESS FOR IMPROVED HERMETICITY AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF GOLD-GERMANIUM SOLDER JOINTS
    Publication number: 20140106179
    Abstract: A solder joint and method of soldering are disclosed. Formation is controlled of atomic vacancies in a surface layer of a component to be soldered. Diffusion of the atomic vacancies during soldering is controlled. Vacancy formation may be controlled using a low current density during surface layer creation. Diffusion may be controlled by controlling layer thickness and soldering temperature.
