How Does Long-Term Storage Affect the Mechanical Integrity and Electrical Performance of Semiconductors?


Long-term storage represents a viable solution to maintaining a continuous supply of semiconductor components in long-lifecycle applications but how does long-term storage affect performance? Rochester tested components, spanning a variety of package styles, stored for periods of up to 17 years.

The Effects of Long-Term Storage on Solderability of Semiconductor Components


For items that have been in long-term storage, quality and reliability are key concerns. To determine the quality of aged components in real-world applications, Rochester performed an analysis of solderability by using an industry-standard board mount with solder paste and reflow manufacturing process.

Compatibility of Traditional Solderability Testing for Aged Semiconductor Components


Despite increasing industry acknowledgment that date code restrictions lack an empirical basis, some users of semiconductor components and contract manufacturers still enforce limitations on older products. This study builds on previous research and evaluates SMT components' solderability and board assembly performance after long-term storage.
