During use the microstructure of solders will change over time. To enable us to determine the lifetime and reliability of these materials, a theory to predict such changes is needed. In this paper two kinds of changes are considered: The forming of intermetallic compounds due to chemical reactions of two components and spinodal decomposition of a binary alloy followed by coarsening. A theoretical approach is presented and evaluated numerically. For this purpose, an extended diffusion equation is needed and derived within the framework of undisputed concepts of the entropy principle. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
