Three Indium Corporation experts will share their expertise at the SMTA China East Technology Conference 2018 on April 23-26 in Shanghai, China.
Research Chemist Fengying (Alice) Zhou will present Fluxes Effective in Suppressing Non-Wet-Open at BGA Assembly, This presentation will detail various flux solutions that address the challenge of non-wet opens that result from the continuing trend toward miniaturization.
Evan Yin, Assistant Manager – Simulation Lab in Suzhou, China, will present Differences Between SMD and NSMD in the SMT Process. This presentation includes the distinctions between the two kinds of PCB pad designs, solder mask define (SMD) pad and non-solder mask define pad (NSMD).
Research Chemist Mary Ma will present Sn3.2Ag0.7Cu5.5Sb Solder Alloy with High Reliability Performance up to 175°C, which reviews the testing results of a novel lead-free solder alloy under harsh conditions.
Zhou joined Indium Corporation in 2010 and is based in Suzhou, China. She is responsible for developing SMT assembly solder materials. Additionally, she provides support to the global R&D team. Zhou earned her bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry and her master’s degree in inorganic chemistry from Suzhou University.
Yin joined Indium Corporation in 2017. He is responsible for equipment engineering at Indium Corporation’s Suzhou Process Simulation Lab. He provides technical support and services, such as product and process recommendations, troubleshooting, conducting product evaluations and qualifications. Before joining Indium Corporation, Yin worked in the surface mount technology field for more than 15 years. He has a degree in computer information management from Soochow University.
Ma joined Indium Corporation in 2010 and is based in Suzhou, China. She is responsible for developing halogen-free, lead-free, and no-clean flux chemistries with low voiding. Ma earned her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Qufu Normal University and her master’s degree in Physical Chemistry from Nanjing University.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

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.
