Alpha to Feature Die Attach, High Temp Dip Tinning Technologies at Internepcon Japan 2017
January 9, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will feature its range of ALPHA Products for Die Attach, High Temp Dip Tinning technologies and Assembly Polymers at the 2017 Internepcon Japan show, which will be held in Tokyo from January 18–20, 2017.
The commercialization of new technology has proven to be a complex process. Silver sintering has attracted a lot of interest over the last decade and has shown the ability to fulfill the electronics device reliability requirements.
"Alpha Argomax silver sintering products are the only products on the market that can be used in different form factors like paste, films or even preforms. These technologies have been developed by Alpha, a part of the MacDermid Performance Solutions group of businesses, to allow a fast (350°C. The alloys have been engineered to retain a highly reflective solder surface with very minimal surface oxide layer formation after long hours of high heat exposure, as compared to the generic alloys such as SnCu0.7 and SnCu3 alloys. The superior wetting performance of this alloy along with reduced pot maintenance due to low dross rates help improve production yield," said Bernice Chung, Regional Product Manager for Alloys.
Alpha Assembly Polymers include products ranging from Alpha Staychip underfills, Alpha Staychip epoxy flux, Alpha Staychip low-temperature adhesives and other Alpha Staychip epoxy related materials.
"These products are for applications requiring reinforcement of assembled parts/components, low temperature bonding, UV bonding or Dual Curing bonding. Selecting optimally the right Assembly Polymer for your application is critical," said Jimmy Shu, Director of Marketing for the Asia Pacific Region.
