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

すべての金属が相性が良いとは限らない。そしてこのことは、エレクトロニクスの世界やそこで使われる材料にも波及する。比較的新しく、かつ関連性のある例は、RoHSの出現によってもたらされた。

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

皆さん、パティがどうしたのか見てみましょう......。パティは少し疲れた様子でパソコンに向かっていた。彼女はコロニアル・ウィリアムズバーグでの1週間の休暇を終えて戻ってきたところだった。

ウェーハバンピングプロセスはここ10年で進化した。半導体組立業界は、はんだペースト印刷によるバンピングプロセス（ボイドの懸念がある、

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

Hand cutting is only one option for shaping NanoFoil®, however it is quick, easy, and inexpensive. All you need to cut NanoFoil® with this method is a good cutting surface, metal straight

Folks, In continuing our discussion on Weibull Analysis, let’s assume we assembled some SMT and through-hole PCBs with lead-free solder paste. On this board are also some bottom-side terminated

A few years back, Indium Corporation's own Eric Bastow set up a prototype NanoFoil® plating process to demonstrate the material and cost savings of setting up a small plating bath. One of the

One question that I often hear from customers is; “Once out of the refrigerator, how long do I have to wait to allow my solder paste and/or flux to reach room temperature in order to use

はんだペーストの "グレーピング "欠陥についてはよく耳にしますが、同じような酸化の問題は他のはんだ形状でも発生します。
