The issues on the replacement of high Pb solder for high power module application has been a major concern among researchers since Pb could caused toxicity to the environment. Alternatively, transient liquid phase (TLP) has becomes a potential bonding technology for high power module devices. Typical TLP bonding for solder is a bonding method that using an interlayer of low and high temperature metal. However, a new transient liquid phase bonding which dealing with solder in the form of powder and paste has been developed. Both bonding methods have successfully increased the melting temperature of the bonded alloys higher than the bonding temperature as will be discussed further.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
