Indium to Present at IMAPS Device Packaging Conference
February 15, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Evan Griffith, product specialist, will share his technical knowledge and insight on the evolution of solder paste for semiconductor applications at the International Microelectronics Assembly & Packaging Society (IMAPS) 18th International Conference and Exhibition on Device Packaging at 10:30 a.m. local time, Thursday, March 10 in Fountain Hills, Arizona, U.S.
Advanced packaging techniques continue to evolve within the semiconductor industry. Within advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration has become a solution for those wishing to integrate distinct and complex dies into smaller packages. Many application trends are emerging to meet the challenges of heterogeneous integration which are causing the assembly process to become more intricate, with these trends requiring soldering material technology, especially that of solder flux, to be up to date and cutting edge. In Solder Flux Evolution for Heterogeneous Integration, Griffith will discuss the evolution of solder fluxes for heterogeneous integration, including novel advancements in fluxes for flip-chip assembly, BGA ball-attach assembly, and assemblies which have advanced to necessitate fluxless component attach.
Griffith is a product specialist for SEMI/SAAM fluxes and SiPaste® materials. He is based at Indium Corporation’s global headquarters. He is responsible for researching and analyzing customer and market data and facilitating current and prospective customers’ needs. Additionally, he supports customer inquiries, internal product trainings, and works closely with Indium Corporation’s R&D team on new applications. Griffith earned his bachelor’s of engineering degree in materials science, graduating with honors, and his master’s of engineering management degree from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., U.S. He has also earned his Six Sigma Green Belt.

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.
