Bar 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, 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

Most of our customers use whatever heating method they already have, unless they are starting from scratch or unless there is a reason their existing reflow equipment will not work well for a new

In today's electronics manufacturing industry, many companies are using lead-free solder alloys. However, there are a few sectors in the industry that prefer the reliability and performance of

Folks, Let’s check in on how Patty is doing at Ivy U. Patty was nearing the end of her teaching stint at Ivy U. Only a few more classes remained. She had to admit that she was sad to see this

It seems like a fairly simple thing to do. What could be difficult about soldering a wire to a pad? Well, I hear three common complaints and expressions of frustration: POSITIONING: Typically, in

While it is important to have at least 10µm of solder on each side of a tabbing ribbon to form a proper solder joint during cell interconnection, more is not always better. What we have found

After the report by Isofoton regarding reliability testing of Bi-based alloys for tabbing ribbon, the world learned that Bi-based alloys could survive the lamination process and function in use. If

Here is a list of tricks to help you overcome the issues that can arise while hand soldering silicon-based solar cells (and other applications as
