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.

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.
