What do you mean by a "few micron thick"? IMC thickness pre-cycling (NEMI Lead-free) * Cu3Sn: 3um [118 uin] * Cu6Sn5: 1um [40 uin]

At a former employer we required HASL thicknes to be a minimum of 0.75 micron (30 microinches), as measured at the thinnest point on any given pad. This would generally assure a minimum 1 year solderability shelf life. Usually when we saw a soldera

. The solubility of nickel in the indium is very low so diffusion-controlled growth of the intermetallic (IMC) layer is slow. On exposure to air, nickel forms a unsolderable oxide on its surface, so it is protected with a flash coating of gold. In

) European Union Directive has significantly reduced the use of tin/lead surface finishes for component terminations. A reexamination of solder joint wetting of lead-free solders with the new component terminations is key to establishing thermal process profiles that ensure acceptable solder joint integrity
