LiloTree’s Dr. Kunal Shah to Present at SMTA International 2018

LiloTree’s President and Founder Dr. Kunal Shah will present a white paper called “A Novel & Cost-effective Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) Surface Finish for Better Reliability of Electronic Assemblies" as part of a panel discussion at this year’s SMTA International to be held on October 16 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. (Eastern; 11-12:30 p.m. Local).
Dr. Shah will present his paper on his National Science Foundation award winning innovative new ENIG-premium, a ground-breaking, world-changing innovation that provide better ENIG performance without cyanide. Because this product is about to be introduced to the general market, everyone interested in a much better performing ENIG (no black pads & robust solder joints) while getting rid of the cyanide and saving up to 30% on gold usage should attend this panel discussion to hear Dr. Shah talk about ENIG-premium.
Long-time industry expert, Steve Williams, had called ENIG-premium the most important technological innovation in the past 20years. “After seeing the third-party test results, I am a true believer in ENIG-premium. It performs better than traditional ENIG, including allowing for a much more controlled gold plating so that there is on average a 30% savings on gold usage. And it gets rid of that nasty cyanide. This will be good for the PCB builders and ever better for the CEMs and OEMs in terms of higher reliability who are using the boards,” said Williams.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
