I want to thank everyone associated with Indium’s efforts at Nepcon Penang, Malaysia. Indium has, once again, earned BEST EXHIBIT DESIGN honors (a repeat from the last Penang event in 2006).

Solder fluxes facilitate solder wetting by dissolving the oxides present on the surface of the tabbing ribbon as well as the silver metallization bonding stripes on the top and bottom of the solar

From the BtoB website: BtoB recently interviewed key bloggers and social media experts at these companies to take the pulse of corporate

I just wanted to take a second and mention my affection for water soluble fluxes they make my life easier! If you've ever used a spin coat machine (spinner) to apply a polymer or flux on a wafer,

One of the primary concerns with halogen-free solder pastes and fluxes revolves around the wetting and coalescence. The reason that halogens (usually in the form of covalently bonded halides) are

Most people use their daily vehicle to drive to work, pick up groceries, travel, ect. On-road use is clearly the main reason we have our primary vehicles, although some of us plan on using our

Folks, I recently met a colleague and the following discussion ensued: Dr. Ron (DR): How are things? Colleague (C): Kinda discouraging at my new job. DR: Why so? C: Well, management is very cost

"A picture is worth a thousand words." Reliability is worth even more… Reliability is such an all-encompassing term, we had better start with a definition: In general, reliability

There are many factors that determine bump height. One key aspect of bump height is bump co-planarity or the uniformity of height from bump to bump across a wafer.ւ The most effective way to ensure

Computers need to catch up, they need to catch up to the speed and processing capabilities of human brain. All the progress in computers and smart devices can be fairly described using Moore's

Have you recently thought about any creative ways to harness solar power? Tandem Cells, Portable Power, Concentrators, Solar Trackers, Internal Refelecters, Back Contactetc. are all concepts of past.

Just like the yearly event which occurred in my grade school, new books were delivered to my door in their shiny cellophane wrapping just waiting for the unearthing of new data. In my book order was

The Mosfet Evolution has brought us today to these tiny, hot TSOP-6 components. Image from eettaiwan.com In this month's edition of SMT magazine, Craig Hunter wrote a fantastic article about

Happenings in India: I heard of some extreme micropackaging operations happening in India where solder bumps were being placed on a package. The pad diameters were only 100 microns in diameter. I

This is a chart of flux transferred in a ball attach process over a 3 day span. Over time we can expect natural variation in transfer efficiency, especially for a thixotropic material like

Step 1, Liquid flux is deposited onto the center of the wafer Step 2, A low rpm initial spin pulls flux from the center across the wafer surface Step 3, A high rpm spin ejects excess flux –

According toa very informative and compelling post on MediaPost's DigitalOutsider blog, the outernet includes: Television Outdoor Online Point-of-Purchase Mobile Cinema Experiental And what is it

Your customers do much more than simply read your Marcom collateral (ads, data sheets, website, etc.). They interact with all sorts of people within your organization. Whether a person is a member of

I just submitted my proposal for the Thermal Management and Technology Symposium 2008 to be held this September 25 and 26 in Austin,

Before you read any further, check out this video of BigDog. Okay – so what was your reaction? When I saw the video (sent to me by a fellow coworker), I was amazed that robots have developed

Big Dog carries a load up a steep, wooded hill. This isn't B2B Marcom (not yet) but it is so intriguing that I wanted to post it up here for you to dig. You simply MUST check out Boston
