Whitepapers on Ionic Contamination
Technical insights into ionic residues, potential reliability risks and contamination control in electronics manufacturing.
Ionic ContaminationIdentifying Ionic Residues and Assessing Reliability Risks
How do ionic residues reach electronic assemblies? How can humid conditions increase the risk of corrosion? And how can ionic contamination be identified and controlled?
Ionic contamination refers to electrically charged residues that can remain on electronic assemblies during production or enter them during operation. In the presence of moisture, these residues can promote corrosion or form conductive paths between adjacent conductors and components. This may result in malfunctions or failures.
The whitepapers in this category examine the identification and control of ionic contamination. They provide technical insights into potential risks and relevant influencing factors and support the assessment of suitable measures for reliable electronics manufacturing.
