TopLine will once again be the premier sponsor of the upcoming IMAPS Wire Bonding Conference. In making the announcement, TopLine CEO Martin Hart stated that he is delighted to support the conference as the leading sponsor for the second time. The Wire Bonding workshop and tabletop exhibition will be held October 8, 2018 in California at the Pasadena Convention Center. The event is co-located with the IMAPS 51st Symposium on Microelectronics.
"The objective of the Wire Bonding Workshop is to bring together scientists, engineers, manufacturing, academia and business people from all over the world," Hart said. "In prior years, the workshop has been an excellent venue for presenting and debating the latest and hottest technologies related to the use of wire bonding in semiconductor and microelectronics packaging."
The Wire Bonding Workshop organizing committee includes representatives from Tanaka, SPT, Palomar, K&S, ASM, Heraeus, Hesse Mechatronics, F&K and MPP Tools to guide the event. The new format is a one-day intensive workshop with presentations by 12 industry experts in the field of wire bonding for the microelectronics industry. IMAPS is calling for abstracts to be submitted by March 30.
TopLine provides universities and microelectronic laboratories with off-the-shelf distribution of Tanaka's full range of bonding wire including gold, silver, copper and aluminum. Wire sizes from 12um to 500um diameter. The offering includes flat gold ribbon for RF and high-power applications.

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.
