Folks, Recently I caught up with Ed Briggs, a member of Indium Corporation's technical staff. I asked Ed if he would share with us his thoughts on "graping" and how to minimize it. His

Liquid thermal interface materials are available in two forms: The major difference between the two is in the temperature which these alloys become molten. Liquid metals remain molten at room

Indium Foil used as a thermal interface can easily be handled with pick and place tools. Never worked with indium foil and wondering, "What's all the hype about?" In many ways, indium

How hot are you setting your solder iron for hand soldering using solder wire or preforms? If you are cranking up the solder iron temperature because you have transitioned to lead-free solders, think

최근 제 동료 애플리케이션 엔지니어 중 한 명인 Jim Hisert가 반도체 웹사이트에 인듐 본딩과 인듐 냉간 용접에 관한 블로그를 게시했습니다. 이 주제는 두 가지 모두 자주 등장하는 주제입니다.

I recently visited a customer to help optimize a flux-less indium soldering application. They admitted they needed flux but didn’t know 1) what to use, or 2) if there was a better way to fix

This is the shape of flux deposits left after pin transfer Spheres attached after pin transfer Pin transfer is a way of selectively depositing a semi-solid or liquid material (like a solder paste or

As previously posted, Indiums Table of Specialty Alloys and Solders contains hundreds of solder alloys used as thermal interface materials and for each of them, we have listed melting temperatures.

열 인터페이스 소재의 문제를 해결하거나 최적화할 방법을 찾고 계신가요? 열 인터페이스를 제외한 열 스택의 성능을 파악하기 위해 고안한 한 가지 방법은 다음과 같습니다.

Our engineering group recently recieved a personal win when a prospective customer we have been working with for years finally took notice of out Au/Sn advancements and agreed to run a full

Continuing with the topic of thermal interface material options, a popular material choice is a clad metal thermal interface preform including multiple layers of various metals, or a metal preform

Here is a pretty good list of resources on the topic of corrosion, if you’re interested: 1. Chongchen Xu. “Corrosion in Microelectronics“ 2003 2. Charles A. Harper. Electronic

Corrosion is caused by an electrochemical reaction between two dissimilar metals, one acting as an anode – one as a cathode. Halide ions, such as fluoride, bromide, and chloride, are the usual

Corrosion leads to field failures. I could probably stop right there – that’s bad enough. To flesh that out a little more, corrosion can lower thermal and electrical conductivity, cause

부식에 관한 4부작 시리즈 중 첫 번째 글입니다: 1) 부식의 정의, 2) 부식이 우리에게 미치는 영향, 3) 부식의 원인 및 예방, 4) 자세히 알아보는 방법. 부식은 기본적으로 3가지로 나뉩니다.

When considering the choice of flux for preforms, in addition to factoring in the amount of flux required on a preform, the type of flux is also important. Fluxes are categorized using the

Folks, About two years ago it appeared that SAC305 (3.0% silver, 0.5% Cu, the balance tin) was becoming the de-facto standard for Pb-Free assembly. With the increased need for shock resistance in

Multiple times I have discussed the intrinsic properties of metal thermal interface materials which make them the top performer on the market today. With thermal conductivities of 86W/mK, there is

There are some applications which can function fine with grease at the thermal interface or even with no thermal interface material at all. This was the case for most electronics of the

Have you ever had that sinking feeling when you tried soldering to stainless steel and found it to be very draining? You can join stainless steel, you know, and here's how! You need the correct
