Folks, I am re-posting an updated blog post on Cp and Cpk calculations with Excel®, as I have improved the Excel® spreadsheet. If you would like the new spreadsheet...
Folks, It is natural to expect that Indium Corporation is the premiere supplier of indium metal, solder pastes, preforms, compounds, and chemistry solutions...
Laser soldering is making its way into the market and onto electronics assembly lines. What's the difference between this method and iron-tip robotic soldering? Read to find out.
A few weeks ago, I posted an SMT quiz on my blog. We received 178 responses, which seemed very good to me. Working with my Indium Corporation colleagues, we came up with the titles below, depending on your score.
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.
