Indium Corporation Introduces New Cleanable SiPaste for Fine Feature Printing
December 28, 2022 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation has added to its portfolio of pastes for fine feature printing with a halogen-free, cleanable solder paste specifically formulated to accommodate fine feature printing, as seen with 01005 and 008004 components.
SiPaste C201HF combines superior, industry-leading non-wet open (NWO) performance with excellent stencil print transfer efficiency to satisfy the broadest range of process requirements and boost SPI yields. It leaves behind a cleanable residue, able to be removed with a commercially available semi-aqueous cleaning solution, or it can be used as a standard no-clean paste in processes where post-reflow cleaning is not applicable.
SiPaste C201HF features excellent transfer efficiency on fine feature apertures, with consistent process yields below 80?m. SiPaste® C201HF delivers:
- Consistent and tight solder deposit spread across multiple prints; excellent response-to-pause performance
- Minimal voiding on tight-pitch components, ensuring joint strength on small components
- Excellent reflow performance on components that exhibit high warpage
- Enhanced slump performance with minimal bridging during the assembly process, improving yields for tight-pitch components
- Flexible cleaning; can be used in processes that require cleaning with a saponifier or that do not require cleaning

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
