Sounds like your Si plalladium finish has oxide on it from the firing or sitting around too long. I used to assemble LTCC and have had plenty of dealings with this matter. The best and easiest is to get an active type flux and solder paste. AIM makes

Responding to your questions ... RELIABILITY OF 1% SILVER SOLDER PASTE: It�s as good as the next solder paste, all other things the same. Look at your back articles by Jennie Hang in SMT magazine. I want to say she wrote an article on the topic i

If the terminations on your components are not barrier plated, you must be very careful about the amount of time you stay above liquidous. As you'd expect, longer is not better. The longer you stay at liquidous, the more of the component terminatio

Looks like a screen printed circuit using a platinum or palladium silver paste. This would account for the grainy appearance. I 've seen this on a white ceramic substrate but not on aluminum. Any components are attached using a silver conductive epox

USING CONDUCTIVE EPOXY: Epoxies do not bond well to tin or tin alloy surfaces. * For components: a silver-palladium or gold end termination is recommended. * For substrates: gold over nickel should work well. Remember epoxy is not hermetic, and ox

They work well in silver conductive epoxy in hybrid applications. They are very poor in no clean applications. They don't work that well in OA solder paste either. Used them once in OA paste and in a nitrogen. They looked just fine. Solder to Pd

We're not really sure. Usually when solder leaves the pads and wicks-up a component lead, it means the component lead is much warmer than the pad on the board. This is the direction we would have taken this if we hadn't taken the AgPd / conductive e
