Indium Corporation Features New WS-446HF Flip-Chip and WS-823 Ball-Attach Fluxes at Productronica China

March 11, 2019

Indium Corporation will feature its new Flip-Chip Flux WS-446HF and Ball Attach Flux WS-823 at Productronica China, March 20-22, in Shanghai, China. 

Indium Corporation’s WS-446HF is a water-soluble, halogen-free, flip-chip dipping flux with an activator system powerful enough to promote good wetting on the most demanding surfaces - including solder-on-pad (SoP), Cu-OSP, ENIG, embedded trace substrates (ETS), and flip-chip on leadframe applications. WS-446HF provides:

  • Excellent solderability to reduce open joints
  • Tackiness suitable for holding large die in place during assembly and reducing die tilt
  • Chemistry that eliminates dendrite issues
  • Reduced voiding
  • Good cleanability

WS-823 is a water-soluble, halogen-free, ball-attach flux designed for use in pin transfer and printing applications for ball attachment to both substrates (BGA manufacturing) and wafers for WLP (wafer-level packaging). WS-823 offers:

  • Excellent solderability on some of the most demanding substrate metallizations, such as copper OSP
  • Lower process costs and warpage due to the elimination of “pre-fluxing”
  • Consistent flux deposition
  • Good tack during heating combined with fast soldering eliminates missing ball
  • Low-cost simplified cleaning

Both WS-446HF and WS-823 are cleanable with just DI water only.
