Alpha to Present Leading Edge Products at ER-SA Elektrik Customer Seminar in Turkey
August 30, 2017 | Alpha Assembly SolutionsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Alpha Assembly Solutions will be presenting information on its latest product innovations at a seminar hosted by ER-SA Elektrik, Alpha’s distributor partner for Turkey, in Aselsan, Turkey, on September 11, 2017.
Alpha’s latest technology developments including ALPHA Sintering Technology, a range of products designed to meet the demanding quality standards of the power semiconductor and LED industry, will be discussed during the event. Alpha’s Sinter Technology products include ALPHA Argomax which has been specially designed for low pressure sintering die attachment.
“ALPHA Argomax in paste, film and preform technologies, provides high thermal and electrical conductivity silver bonds, high reliability and flexible bondline thickness,” explains Julien Joguet, Global Product Manager for Sintered Materials for Alpha Assembly Solutions, a MacDermid Performance Solutions business. “This addresses issues with die attach reliability in high volume manufacturing and challenging Si/SiC/GaN die attach processes.”
As well as advancements in sintering technologies, Alpha’s latest new cleanable, no-clean material, ALPHA OM-347 solder paste, will be discussed at the seminar. The product has been designed to print and reflow Type 4 and Type 5 powder to meet market segments requiring ultra-fine feature applications. ALPHA OM-347 has been tested to give excellent printing performance and an outstanding reflow process window. After reflow, the resulting residue produced can be safely left on the board, or if needed, it can be very easily cleaned with a broad range of solvents.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
