Due to the popularity of our Understanding Process Residues and Their Effect on Product Performance workshop, Foresite has decided to expand upon the knowledge brought forth in this educational event, and offer it in a two day format with the addition of expanded information on implementing lead free processes and conducting failure analysis investigations. 

In this workshop, we will share our latest insights on electronic product cleanliness, how it is affecting product reliability and how you can best adapt your processes with changing technologies and chemistries to produce clean and reliable hardware.  In-depth information on successful implementation of a lead free process and conducting an effective and efficient failure analysis investigation will also be presented.
