Procedure for the Risk Assessment of Impurities
Increasingly, the application of low-power components and the resulting low switching thresholds make it relevant to check materials and processes for the production of electronic assemblies also with regard to potential risks from contamination.
The challenges to the established approaches arising from the sensitive switching thresholds of the low-power components, their limitations and a proposal for improving the situation are presented in this technical article.
