Conclusions• The whiskers that formed on the powered side of the capacitor
were not the result electromigraiton but localized heating of the capacitor power side and this released contaminants from the ESD dissipative bag waxy surface. This contamination was the driving force of the formation of the tin whiskers. No other areas of the PCBA show any sign of tin whisker or creep corrosion or even dendrite corrosion. The surface of the capacitor that grew the whiskers shows high chloride, sulfate, and ammonium which also was present inside the ESD bag (this is the dissipative elements inside the bag). The residues area not transferable to the board surface unless there heating or steam extracting.
• Under similar conditions Foresite was able to get growth on the surface of the tin plated electrode of a tin whisker with the ESD bag and the 3.3 volt battery in a sealed bag in 5 days indicates that the mechanism is reproducible.
