Abstract :
Failures were experienced when organic adhesives were used to mount components in hybrid devices. These failures were determined to be caused by electrochemical reactions between constituents of the epoxy materials and substrate metallization. The failure mechanisms involved and the precautions necessary for their prevention are discussed in this paper.
