Indium Corporation Features InFORMS Reinforced Solder Preforms at APEC 2017

Indium Corporation will feature its reinforced solder alloy fabrications, InFORMS®, at APEC 2017, March 26-30, in Tampa, Fla.

InFORMS are reinforced solder preforms that increase lateral strength and stability. As a result, improved thermal cycling reliability can be achieved.

In one study where InFORMS were used to solder a DBC to the baseplate of an IGBT, the following were achieved:

  • Fiabilité des cycles thermiques améliorée de 4x par rapport à une approche basée uniquement sur la préforme de soudure
  • Fiabilité des cycles thermiques multipliée par deux par rapport à l'approche préforme de soudure + suture par fil d'aluminium
  • Low-voiding of <1%
  • Lower cost of ownership – an InFORM is a drop-in replacement for a standard preform or solder paste, requiring no additional process steps or equipment
