Abstract

Conventional Sn-37Pb solder has been as the most frequently used material to interconnect and pack modern electronic components and devices. Sn-Pb solder has been used because it is cheap and has good material properties. However, lead and lead containing compounds are considered to be very toxic. Due to health and environmental concerns, efforts to replace conventional Sn-Pb eutectic solder with lead-free alternatives have begun. Considering performance, reliability, cost and resources Sn-Zn, Sn-cu and Sn-Ag alloys are supposed to be the best alternatives. Hence lead free solders are becoming substitute of Sn-Pb solder. This paper present review of reported work on lead-free solders.
