iNEMI Solder Materials Workshop at IPC APEX EXPO 2019
January 21, 2019 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
iNEMI will be holding a free workshop next week at IPC APEX EXPO 2019, that will focus on the future of solder materials and how these materials must advance to meet the needs of new products and processes.
This interactive workshop will feature speakers, panel sessions and working groups focused on user needs and materials development.
Keynote speakers include Dr. Carl Bilgrien, Vice President of Innovation at Alpha Assembly Solutions, who will speak on “Technology Roadmap to Meet Next-Generation Assembly Challenges”. Ashay Dani, Director, Materials Technology Development, Assembly Technology Development, at Intel Corp., meanwhile, will speak on "Advanced Packaging Materials – Challenges and Opportunities."
The free workshop will be held on January 31, 2019, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Additional speakers include presenters from Indium, HP, Dell, Raytheon, Flex and John Deere. There will also be Q&A panels focused on application-driven materials needs and the challenges of new materials for high-volume assembly.

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.
