New Technical Papers
AuSn Die-Attach Solder
Amanda Hartnett provided a tech paper she presented at iMAPS 2009: 42nd International Symposium on Microelectronics (November 1-5, San José, CA) on the advantages of gold-tin die-attach solder. RF mounting and MEMS packages both benefit from the solder alloy's properties.
