Indium Corporation's Pony Liao, area technical manager for Northern China, presented at IPC Tianjin Technical Seminar on November 28.
Liao's presentation, The Application of Epoxy Flux, explained the benefits of using an epoxy flux for reinforcing CSP, BGA, flip-chip, and PoP assemblies to improve mobile phone performance against drop shock, thermal cycling, and dendrite risk. Epoxy flux also eliminates the drawbacks of underfill by integrating standard SMT solder pastes, fluxes, and underfill materials into a solitary reflow process to provide enhanced solder joints.
