Indium's Bernard Leavitt to Present at IMAPS HiTEN 2017
June 2, 2017 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Bernard Leavitt, Product Specialist, High-Temperature Applications, will present at IMAPS High Temperature Electronics Network 2017 (HiTEN 2017), July 10-12 in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Leavitt’s presentation, "Die-Attach Voiding Reduction in Gold Alloy Solder Preforms," discusses the changing requirements of high-temperature solders in RF and power semiconductor device assembly, as both power density and ratings of these devices increase. AuSn20 (Indalloy®182) has been the workhorse for high-temperature, high-reliability, small die-attach applications for many years. However, the gold-tin eutectic solder alloy is beginning to reach its utility limit. Leavitt will review the next options available to RF and power semiconductor manufacturers.
Leavitt is responsible for promoting and growing Indium Corporation’s product line for high-temperature applications. He works with the sales teams to identify current and potential customer accounts, and handles customer communications and product inquiries. Leavitt joined Indium Corporation in 2007. In 2010, he was promoted to Account Coordinator responsible for relationship management. Leavitt attended the State University of New York at Morrisville and earned his bachelor's degree in Business Management from the State University of New York's Empire State College.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
