  • Abstract
    In this work we present a novel method to determine the Sn/IMC (intermetallic compound) ratio in various SAC (Sn-Ag-Cu) alloy based solder joints utilizing selective electrochemical etching and confocal microscopy. We discuss the principles and possibilities of this combined method and present pilot measurement results regarding the determination of the Sn/IMC ratio for solder joints prepared with different soldering techniques.
