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 Death of the Microsection
06/26/2025 | Bob Neves, Reliability Assessment Solutions, Inc.I got my start out of college grinding and polishing PCB microsections. My thumbs are a bit arthritic today because of the experience (microsection grinders know what I mean). Back then, via structures were rather large, and getting to the center in six steps of grinding and polishing was easy compared to what my team has been doing recently at the lab.

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.
