Gold Solder

Interconnect reliability is critical to the reliability of semiconductor packaging and electronic systems. If we look at the life cycle from the chip to the system—from IC design, wafer fab,

Folks, My second email from Adriana Re using density to determine gold mass fraction is below. She asked if we could communicate in French. The English translations are below the

Adriana writes, Dear Dr. Ron I’m trying to program the equation for determining the weight fraction of gold in scrap metal from the density of the scrap

Folks, This post is an excerpt on graping, fromIndium Corporation'sThe Printed Circuits Assemblers Guide to Solder Defects. Introduction The growth of personal electronic devices continues to

Folks, Recently, I posted a derivation of the equations to determine the mass fractionsof two metals in a binary alloy. I thought it may be helpful to develop an Excel software tool to perform these

In history, “The Gold Standard” was a monetary system in which countries fixed their currencies to a specified amount of gold. Here at Indium, we also use the phrase, however, to

Folks, The vast majority of solders used in electronic assembly have, as their base metal, tin. There are some specialty gold solders,like gold-copper or gold-indium, indium based solders, and a

The word ‘gold’ has many meanings. The term can refer to the element itself, its elemental symbol, ‘Au’, or to objects, often jewelry, that contain gold, such as a necklace or

When we talk about off-eutectic alloys, we must take a step back and talk about what makes a eutectic alloy. Each solder alloy has both a solidus (not melted) and liquidus (completely melted)
