Indium Expert to Present at 2019 ICEPT
August 2, 2019 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will share his industry expertise at the 20th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology (ICEPT 2019) on August 11-15, Hong Kong, China.
Fluxes Suppressing Non-Wet-Open during BGA Assembly will examine the increasing severity of warpage and non-wet-open (NWO) defects during BGA assembly due to the continuing advancement of miniaturization. He will discuss how a “cold-welding barrier” method utilizing a flux coating has been developed to suppress NWO defects.
He will also present Novel Fluxes with Decreased Viscosity after Reflow for Flip-Chip and SIP Assembly, which discusses the development of fluxes developed for flip-chip and system-in-package (SIP) assembly. These fluxes have high-viscosity and high-tack to secure components during placement and reflow, but have low-viscosity after reflow to allow the flux residue to be cleaned.
Dr. Lee will also present the short course Achieving High Reliability for Lead-Free Solder Joints – Materials Consideration. This very popular course details the material considerations required for achieving high-reliability in lead-free solder joints. The goal of this course is to provide participants with the understanding of how various factors contribute to failure modes, and how to select proper solder alloys and surface finishes for achieving high-reliability.
Dr. Lee is a world-renowned soldering expert, an SMTA Member of Distinction, and IEEE Fellow. He has extensive experience in the development of fluxes, alloys and solder pastes for SMT industries, and extensive experience 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.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. 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.
