Abstract

This chapter focuses on comparisons between conductive adhesives and solder pastes. First, plating technologies used by a quad flad pack component are compared using LIME. Then, the latest electric power and metal production LCI data from ecoinvent is used in earlier studies of high-temperature materials. As resource stress is one of the three pillars of life cycle product management, the third section explores the hidden resource flows by applying the ore-total material requirement model. The last section takes a look at future and Ag-free conductive adhesive material technologies. Moreover, traditional product level LCA (the relative LCAs for conductive adhesives) is scaled-up to global material flows to get a different distribution of the eco-profiles.
