Characterization of Sn Whiskers


EMSL Project ID
2490

Abstract

Sn whiskers have for long been known as a failure mechanism in electronic components. This study seeks to determine the origin of Sn whiskers and their growth mechanism. In this collaboration with PNNL we propose to characterize whiskers using FEG-SEM, a technique not available to us at WSU.
