Indium’s Dr. Lee to Present at IEMT Conference in Malaysia
July 24, 2018 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation expert Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will deliver two presentations and lead a course at the 38th International Electronics Manufacturing Technology (IEMT) Conference in Melaka, Malaysia on September 4-6.
Dr. Lee will present "Assessment of Solder Paste Technology Limitation in Miniaturization for SiP and SMT Applications." The paper examines the performance of solder paste in producing a strong joint by analyzing pitch dimension, powder size, residue levels, flux capacity, oxygen barrier, alloy dopants, and more.
Dr. Lee will also present "Nano-Cu Sintering Paste for High-Power Devices in Die-Attach Applications," which details the development of a nano-Cu sintering material that enables the pressureless process needed for small chips and combats the oxidation typically seen with Cu-materials during storage and handling.
"Electromigration – The Hurdle for Miniaturization and High-Power Devices" is a three-hour course designed to help attendees achieve long solder joint life under high-stress conditions. It will cover all critical aspects of electromigration in solder joints, including failure mechanisms, effects of solder alloy composition, solder joint metallurgy and configuration, pad design and composition, temperature, current polarity, and more.
Dr. Lee is a world-renowned soldering expert, an SMTA Member of Distinction, and an IEEE Fellow. He has extensive experience in the development of fluxes, alloys, and solder pastes for SMT, as well as in the development of high-temperature polymers, encapsulants for microelectronics, underfills, and adhesives. In addition to SMT and semiconductor soldering materials, his research also extends to nanobonding technology and thermal conductive materials.

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.
