Current IssueRules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.

Indium Corporation Introduces Au-Based Precision Die-Attach Preforms
July 17, 2024 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation® is proud to introduce new, high-reliability Au-based Precision Die-Attach (PDA) Preforms. Compared to standard preforms, these gold-based PDA preforms offer a higher level of precision to reduce defects, control bondline thickness (BLT), and deliver high-yield performance and reliability in critical die-attach applications.
Semiconductor laser die-attach applications require the highest quality, ultra-precise solder preforms to ensure accuracy and repeatability during assembly for a guaranteed, highly reliable end product. Indium Corporation’s Au-based PDA Preforms offer the new gold standard. Features include:
- Highly accurate thickness control
- Precise edge quality
- Optimized cleanliness
- Default waffle pack method
- Available for gold-based alloys
“We are excited to offer our gold-based PDA preforms because they are able to uniquely meet our customers’ needs for highly automated, precision processes,” said Indium Corporation Senior Product Manager Jeff Anweiler. “They not only reduce solder-related defects and die-tilt, but they also increase process yield performance. These products deliver superior thermal transfer, operational efficiency, and device reliability, especially for critical laser and RF applications, as well as 5G communications.”
Indium Corporation’s Au-based PDA Preforms are available in the following alloys:
- Primary alloys:
- 80Au/20Sn
- 79Au/21Sn
- Development alloys:
- 78Au/22Sn; 77Au/23Sn; 76Au/24Sn; 75Au/25Sn
- 88Au/12Ge
- 96.8Au/3.2Si
- 82Au/18In
Selecting the right preform characteristics and packaging is crucial for consistent success in production processes. Every application has unique parameters, making it essential to design a preform and its packaging to meet these specific needs.
