MacDermid Alpha to Promote New ALPHA Argomax AccuLam Sintering Film and Package Attach Sintering Application at PCIM Europe
May 4, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions, will showcase its latest sintering process solutions, including the new ALPHA Argomax AccuLam Sintering Film, at the upcoming PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany from Tuesday 10th - Thursday 12th May in Hall 7 Booth #227.
ALPHA Argomax AccuLam is the next revolution in Sintering Film, delivering higher throughput and larger area lamination compatibility whilst being uniquely customized for a customer’s requirements. The film is part of the range of ALPHA Argomax Sinter Process Solutions which also includes paste for printing and dispense and preforms specially engineered for Top Side Attach, Die Attach, Wafer Attach and Package Attach processes.
A key highlight at the MacDermid Alpha booth will be demonstrations of ALPHA Argomax in the package attach process using a sintering press. The successful sintering of molded power packages is possible due to the lower pressure, lower temperature, and faster sinter times enabled by ALPHA Argomax. The paste ensures intimate contact between the package and the heat-sink, accommodates warpage, and sinters with low pressure without cracking the molded module. ALPHA Argomax, based on proprietary nano-particles technology, is the preferred sintering solution for package to heat-sink attach with demonstrated 10X improvement in power cycling reliability.

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered. A campaign might start with a highly technical resource, such as an in-depth article, a white paper, or a podcast featuring an engineer delving into the details of a process. That’s the foundation, the substance that earns credibility.
Taking Control of PCB Verification One Step at a Time
10/09/2025 | Kirk Fabbri, Siemens EDAToday’s designs are as complex as ever, and engineers face tough decisions every day. Simulation and verification teams are confronted with a three-fold challenge: understanding the underlying theory, mastering the tools, and applying best practices.Engineers need to navigate a vast and ever-changing cast of design and simulation tools, often with overlapping functionality.
Happy’s Tech Talk #43: Engineering Statistics Training With Free Software
10/06/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkIn over 50 years as a PCB process engineer, the one skill I acquired in college that has been most beneficial is engineering statistics. Basic statistics was part of my engineering fundamentals classes, but I petitioned the dean to let me take the engineering statistics graduate course because I was creating a senior thesis for my honors focus and needed more training on Design of Experiments (DOE).
Connect the Dots: Evolution of PCB Manufacturing—Lamination
10/02/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsWhen I wrote The Printed Circuit Designer's Guide to...™ Designing for Reality, it was not a one-and-done effort. Technology is advancing rapidly. Designing for the reality of PCB manufacturing will continue to evolve. That’s why I encourage designers to stay on top of the tools and processes used during production, to ensure their designs capitalize on the capabilities of their manufacturing partner.
