AIM to Host Knowledge Sharing Session on July 12
July 3, 2017 | AIMEstimated reading time: 1 minute
AIM Solder will host a Knowledge Sharing Session in Guadalajara, Mexico, on July 12, 2017. AIM's International Technical Support Director, Carlos Tafoya, will present the white paper "Assessing the Effectiveness of I/O Stencil Aperture Modifications on BTC Void Reduction".
Many of the published center pad voiding studies have focused on optimizing center pad footprint and stencil aperture designs. Carlos' presentation will highlight a no-cost, easily implemented I/O design guideline that can be deployed to consistently and repeatedly reduce void formation on BTC-style packages.
This free seminar, hosted by AIM, SmartSol Technologies and Reymet, will be held at SmartSol Technologies in Guadalajara, Mexico. This Knowledge Sharing Session will consist of four conferences, with speakers from AIM, KYZEN, Nordson Matrix and ASM Technologies covering topics from void reduction to cleaning a no-clean flux.
