Abstract
We present the results of a non-destructive measuring method allowing us to characterize the evolution of solder joints during thermal cycli ng ageing tests. The method uses a high resolution optical probe to de tect selectively pure Joule and Peltier thermal responses of the solde r joint subject to a given current pulse. The results show the Peltier and Joule responses to be good indicators for the evaluation of the a ge and the degradation of solder joints.
