    Abstract: A method for determining the paths of current flow in an irregularly shaped conductor. A metal is plated onto a substrate in the desired geometric pattern. The metal is then brought to within about 4 percent of its melting point and a current is put through it. After an amount of time that depends upon the temperature and current utilized, there will have been a mass migration in the metal resulting in a corrugated surface having ridges and valleys that are parallel to the current flow. The ridges and valleys may be observed optically or by scanning electron microscope. PO9-79-009

    Abstract: A SOLDER COLUMN STRUCTURE (19) PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR JOINING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BY C-4 INTERCONNECTION (24) IS PROVIDED COMPRISING A SOLDER COLUMN (17, 22) ATTACHED AT ONE END TO ONE OF THE SUBSTRATES (11) BEING JOINED AND HAVING A LAYER OF INDIUM (18) AT THE OTHER END. DURING REFLOW, TO JOIN THE OTHER SUBSTRATE (20), THE INDIUM MELTS WITH PART OF THE SOLDER COLUMN FORMING A PB-SN-IN TERNARY ALLOW JOINT HAVING ENHANCED FATIGUE RESISTANCE. A METHOD FOR USING THE SOLDER COLUMN TO MAKE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ASSEMBLIES (25) AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ASSEMBLIES MADE USING THE METHOD AND SOLDER COLUMN ARE ALSO PROVIDED.(FIG: 1E)

    Abstract: A solder column structure particularly useful for joining electronic components by C-4 interconnection is provided comprising a solder column attached at one end to one of the substrates being joined and having a layer of indium at the other end. During reflow, to join the other substrate, the indium melts with part of the solder column forming a Pb-Sn-In ternary alloy joint having enhanced fatigue resistance. A method for using the solder column to make electronic component assemblies and electronic component assemblies made using the method and solder column are also provided.
