Not possible. Chip design and manufacturing has changed greatly since the early '80s. You would have to redesign the chips with modern materials and manufacuring methods. The cost of doing this would be too high for chips made in small quantities. For example, wires were soldered to the chips. It is now illegal to sell chips in most places with lead, e.g. solder, in them. New technqiues have been developed, but that changes the capacitance and conductivity of them which changes it's RF characteristics. Aren't the wires in chips wire bonded, which is akin to spot welding? Have the "most places" who've banned the presumed chips with lead in them also banned lead in the soldered connections on circuit boards? I take it you mean banned outright, not just banned from landfills and incenerators. They have banned lead, but largely because of the fumes from the production of the products, Pure tin solders have some very interesting problems of their own, and it has been a very unpleasant experience for the Military. Under conditions not well understood, the tin will grow crystals sometimes, and the crystals can and do create new connections that were never intended, usually with less than desireable consequences... |
