  • Cover Story
    A Novel Six Sigma SnPb Solder Paste
    Although Six Sigma principles have been used in the industry for years, for the most part they have been applied to PWB fabrication or assembly processes – not to product development, and certainly not to soldering materials themselves. The recent development of a new SnPb solder paste, however, combined modern raw materials and the application of these principles.
