iNEMI Shares Resources With Industry
February 12, 2025 | Grace O'Malley, iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Since 1996, iNEMI has provided a forum in which its members can leverage their expertise, manpower, and research resources to identify industry needs and efficiently enable new technology development and deployment for high-volume manufacturing. Through almost 30 years of creating technology roadmaps that anticipate future industry needs and conducting timely, high-impact collaborative projects, INEMI has contributed significantly to the industry’s technical knowledge.
Online Knowledge Base
iNEMI has recently launched a new website and we are currently creating an online knowledge base that will make it easier for visitors to find the information they want from iNEMI’s current and archival materials. Although some information is restricted to members, there is also information available to the industry at large. This repository will include webinar presentations and recordings, project reports, white papers and position statements, technical conference papers, contributed articles, and more. In addition to our more recent publications and recordings, it will include iNEMI’s seminal work on such topics as:
- Pb-free alloy alternatives
- Tin whisker mitigation
- Creep corrosion/FOS test
- Low-temperature solder
- Electromigration of SnBi solder
- Value recovery from used electronics
- 5G/mmWave materials characterization
- Warpage characterization for advanced packaging
The iNEMI Knowledge Base is currently under construction and will be available soon. To receive notifications about the latest information available, be sure to create a profile on the new site. If you have a profile, please update it.
