Summary In this work, we propose a comprehensive experimental plan to generate fundamental mechanistic insight into the role of several microstructural and test variables on the fracture of solder joints under rapid loading conditions. The outcome of this study will be the ability to design microelectronic solder joints with greater fracture toughness under drop conditions via better control of processing, microstructural and geometrical parameters. An additional outcome will be the transfer of experimental approaches developed through this work to the industry.
