Indium Features New Fluxes at productronica China

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Indium Corporation will feature its new Flip-Chip Flux WS-446HF and Ball Attach Flux WS-823 at productronica China, March 20-22, in Shanghai, China.

Indium Corporation’s WS-446HF is a water-soluble, halogen-free, flip-chip dipping flux with an activator system powerful enough to promote good wetting on the most demanding surfaces - including solder-on-pad (SoP), Cu-OSP, ENIG, embedded trace substrates (ETS), and flip-chip on leadframe applications. WS-446HF provides:

• Excellent solderability to reduce open joints
• Tackiness suitable for holding large die in place during assembly and reducing die tilt
• Chemistry that eliminates dendrite issues
• Reduced voiding
• Good cleanability

WS-823 is a water-soluble, halogen-free, ball-attach flux designed for use in pin transfer and printing applications for ball attachment to both substrates (BGA manufacturing) and wafers for WLP (wafer-level packaging). WS-823 offers:

• Excellent solderability on some of the most demanding substrate metallizations, such as copper OSP
• Lower process costs and warpage due to the elimination of “pre-fluxing”
• Consistent flux deposition
• Good tack during heating combined with fast soldering eliminates missing ball
• Low-cost simplified cleaning

Both WS-446HF and WS-823 are cleanable with just DI water only.
