iNEMI LTS Tech Topic Series: Thermal Fatigue Performance in BiSn-Based Low-Temperature Solder Joints
January 31, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
There is an increasing interest in some market segments to use solder alloys with lower melting temperatures for electronics assembly. Low-temperature solder (LTS) can provide manufacturing, economic, and environmental benefits. Since 2015, the iNEMI BiSn-Based Low-Temperature Soldering Process and Reliability project has been evaluating LTS paste formulations based on the Bi-Sn system. This webinar will report the results and lessons learned from the thermal cycling tests of low-temperature solders completed to date on three types of LTS solder joints: homogeneous, hybrid (heterogeneous), and hybrid formed with joint reinforced pastes (JRP). Get additional details about testing to be discussed in this webinar.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
