TopLine Corporation’s Founder and CEO Martin Hart has been invited to deliver a presentation on the topic of how “Braided Solder Columns reduce mechanical stress in large heterogeneous 2.5D advanced packages for space and commercial applications” at The Aerospace Corporation’s Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW) in Los Angeles (El Segundo), California on February 12, 2025.
MRQW provides a forum for discussing issues in all areas of microelectronics reliability and qualification for high-reliability and commercial applications. TopLine recently announced the availability of Braided Solder Columns as drop-in replacements for BGA balls for Quantum Computers and next generation applications including Very Large 2.5D Packages. The Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Workshop (MRQW) won the topic, which will be addressed by Hart, including the application of braided solder columns to aerospace applications and extreme environments.

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.
