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.

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.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
