Indium Expert to Present at Wafer-Level Packaging Symposium
February 3, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Indium Corporation’s innovative materials for advanced semiconductor packaging will be the focus of a presentation by Dr. Dongkai Shangguan, strategic advisor, at the Surface Mount Technology Association’s Wafer-Level Packaging Symposium, Feb. 15-17, San Jose, Calif., U.S.
As advanced packaging continues to drive towards heterogeneous integration, new materials need to be developed to address the many challenges faced in the assembly process. In his presentation Innovative Materials for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging, Dr. Shangguan will cover cutting-edge materials for this technology, including novel flux formulations and adhesive agents for wafer/die bonding, interactions between the flux material and various dielectric materials on the wafer, and materials for thermal management in high density packaging. The presentation will introduce the different processes and the associated materials, and the benefits and disadvantages of the various options will be discussed in detail. Proper selection and application of interconnect materials for the various assembly processes is crucial to ensuring a high production yield during the assembly process for reliable wafer-level packages.
Dr. Shangguan is a strategic advisor to Indium Corporation. In this role, he works on specific trends related to the advanced semiconductor packaging and SMT industries, and applies his significant industry experience to supporting customers. Dr. Shangguan is an IEEE Fellow and IMAPS Fellow, and has served on the boards of directors for several professional organizations and industry associations, including IPC, IEEE EPS, and iNEMI. He also serves as a Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE EPS.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
