Cette semaine, un client chinois a posé une question intéressante sur la résistivité volumique de la soudure. Mon ami Eric Bastow a suggéré qu'Indium mette ces informations à la disposition de tous sur un blog.

People use indium in many forms – to create many different products. Certain forms fit various applications. Here are some of the many forms of pure indium that we provide: Ingot – this

Let’s quickly review the advantages of Bi/Sn/Ag alloy tabbing ribbon coating before we discuss them further: Low temperature melting point Pb-free, by definition Beneficial mechanical

Due to its softness and compressibility, indium is ideal for use in creating a seal. Generally 99.99% indium is adequate for a vacuum, hermetic or cryogenic seal, but higher purities are also

Many people try to determine the volume of solder paste that they will use on a given circuit board or during a full production

Folks, Let’s see how Patty is recovering from her conflict with Hal Lindsay……. Patty saw a link on one of the daily SMT Tech newsletters that piqued her interest. It was titled, “A New Alloy

Tous les métaux ne font pas bon ménage. Et cela se répercute dans le monde de l'électronique et des matériaux qui y sont utilisés. Un exemple relativement nouveau et pertinent est apparu avec l'avènement de la directive RoHS et de la directive sur l'étiquetage des produits chimiques.

Folks, It's been awhile, let's see what Patty is up to… Patty was in her office, finishing lunch and reading Golf Digest. She was happy to see Tiger Woods doing better, but a little

Here’s an interesting technology fact I just learned: Indium Sulfide was the very first indium compound to be discovered. I bet Reich and Richter (the discovers of indium) never imagined that

Folks, Let’s see how Patty is doing with her latest challenge….. Patty had decided to call The Professor and see what advice he had to offer in preparation for her visit to the facility

Les amis, voyons ce qu'il en est de Patty........ Patty est assise devant son ordinateur, un peu fatiguée il est vrai. Elle venait de rentrer d'une semaine de vacances à Colonial Williamsburg en compagnie de

Les procédés d'écrasement des wafers ont évolué au cours des dix dernières années. L'industrie de l'assemblage des semi-conducteurs est passée de processus de bumping utilisant l'impression de pâte à braser (avec tous les problèmes de vide) à des processus de bumping utilisant l'impression de pâte à braser (avec tous les problèmes de vide),

It is no secret that automotive semiconductor customers are becoming increasingly demanding. The “under the hood / bonnet” electronics environment is arguably one of the most thermally

NanoFoil®requires a threshold of energy to activate. What happens if that energy value is not met?: Interdiffusion and inhibition of the NanoBond® reaction. This can happen if NanoFoil®

Many surface finishes are solderable with the right flux. Many of our electronic devices use solder to bond copper, silver, gold, and other metals, but did you know that you can solder wooden

Being the Indium Corporation, we know what indium is, where it comes from, and how to use it. But sometimes we forget that not everyone is as immersed in indium as we are. So what is indium? Of

Folks, In the category of interesting requests, Ron, a gold worker, from Guyana, sent me the following note: Dr. Ron, My colleagues use a “wet” gold technique to measure gold alloy

There are many sputtering target materials that are tricky to solder to. For those alloys we ‘bring out the big guns’ – in this case, our ultrasonic soldering

In order to NanoBond® parts that are made out of copper, nickel, or platinum, we must first apply solder to the bonding surface. This is most commonly done by melting solder directly onto the

Folks, Our discussion of Weibull Analysis continues…..Let’s say you have worked hard and assembled some SMT lead-free PCBs for thermal cycle testing. You used the best lead-free solder paste,

Sometimes one piece of NanoFoil® just isn’t enough… We often NanoBond® sputtering targets which are large enough to require multiple sheets of NanoFoil® to cover the width or
