Indium Features Metal Thermal Interface Materials for Burn-In and Test at TestConX Workshop 2019
February 7, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation will feature its metal thermal interface materials for burn-in and test, including HSK patterned Heat-Spring and HSMF-OS, at TestConX on March 3-6 in Mesa, Arizona.
A pure indium Heat-Spring in the HSK pattern can be clad on one side with a thin layer of aluminum, which will prevent the indium from sticking to the device under test (DUT). Due to the thinness of the aluminum, it has minimal impact on the thermal conductivity of the indium.
HSMF-OS has a multi-layer construction with a total thickness of 0.004” that is designed for multiple insertions. It has an aluminum layer that acts as an interface with the DUT and has a tensile strength of approximately 90 MPa with a soft, compliant polymer backing. This unique construction results in a configuration with “designed-in” insertion survivability.

Effects of Advanced Packaging and Stackup Design
12/26/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamKris Moyer teaches several PCB design classes for IPC and Sacramento State, including advanced PCB design. His advanced design classes take on some really interesting topics, including the impact of a designer’s choice of advanced packaging upon the design of the layer stackup. Kris shares his thoughts on the relationship between packaging and stackup, what PCB designers need to know, and why he believes, “The rules we used to live by are no longer valid.”
The Knowledge Base: The Era of Advanced Packaging
12/23/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseThe semiconductor industry is at a pivotal juncture. As the traditional scaling predicted by Moore's Law encounters significant physical and economic barriers, transistor density can no longer double every two years without escalating costs and complications. As a result, the industry is shifting its focus from chip-level advancements to innovative packaging and substrate technologies. I Invited Dr. Nava Shpaisman, strategic collaboration manager at KLA, to provide some insight.
