Durafuse LT is a low-temperature solder with drop shock reliability and, as with any process, we need to know which parameters to control and the possible impact.
Folks, Businessweek’s recent article on autonomous vehicles summarized the current state of this fascinating technology. The article discussed Waymo...
Stencil technology has evolved throughout the years, and System-in-Package solder pastes require specific stencil manufacturing processes and novel technology to achieve great transfer efficiency. Learn more at my upcoming SiP Printing 101 Webinar!
Just as important in the solder paste printing process is solder paste inspection; how do you know if your printer is operating optimally if your SPI machine is not doing the same? Learn more in my upcoming SiP Printing 101 Webinar.
Germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) is a colorless liquid. It is used as an intermediate in the production of purified germanium dioxide and germanium metal.
GeCl4 is transparent to infrared light and therefore useful in optical materials. It is also widely used as a semiconductor and as an alloying agent. Silicon-germanium alloys are used for low-cost, high-speed integrated circuits as well as precision optical components, and germanium tetrachloride is an important dopant material in the manufacturing of optical fibers for telecommunications. A further use of germanium dioxide is as a polymerization catalyst, widely used in Japan for the manufacturing of PET bottles for water.
To learn more about germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4), contact Indium today. Our seasoned team of dedicated engineers is excited to learn about your unique project.
Germanium dioxide (GeO2) is a white powder that is manufactured in both crystalline and amorphous forms. Germanium dioxide’s refractive index (1.7) and its optical dispersion properties make it a useful material for wide-angle lenses and optical microscope lenses. GeO2 is transparent to infrared light.
Germanium dioxide is also used as a catalyst in the manufacturing of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and for the production of other germanium compounds, phosphors, and semiconductor materials.
Indium Corporation offers recycle and reclaim programs for indium, gallium, germanium, and tin metals, as well as a program for recycling solder and solder dross.
