Indium Corporation Introduces New Flip-Chip Flux for Semiconductor Devices
July 31, 2025 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation, a leading materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier, today announced the global availability of WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux, a new water-soluble flip-chip dipping flux designed to meet the demands of cutting-edge semiconductor devices.
WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux is designed to provide best-in-class residue cleaning for a water-soluble flip-chip flux, allowing for excellent compatibility with molded and capillary underfill. The new product also offers high tackiness for a flip-chip flux, which is useful when holding large die in place during the reflow process. WS-910 expands Indium Corporation’s extensive line of semiconductor assembly solutions, supporting advanced packaging and high-reliability applications.
Halogen-free WS-910 Flip-Chip Flux delivers several benefits to users, including:
- High tackiness minimizes non-wet open defects and “cold joints”
- Promotes excellent solderability onto a wide range of surfaces
- Ensures consistent yields through consistent dipping performance over extended periods
- Excellent cleaning with pure room-temperature deionized water
- Designed for Pb-free applications and suitable for all high-Sn solders
- Compatible with a wide variety of conventional ultrafiltration and modified ultrafiltration
Indium Corporation’s flip-chip flux series addresses common miniaturization challenges, including thin or warped substrates and fine-pitch, high I/O count assembly. The company offers fluxes in both water-soluble formulations and ultra-low residue no-clean options, which provide a sustainable, low-residue alternative to traditional water-soluble fluxes.

Volatile Metals Market Creates PCB Pricing Headache
04/20/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Market volatility for precious metals is very real. Financial organizations have reported elevated volatility, with record highs and steep corrections; in 2025 alone, gold has increased by over 60%, silver over 120%, and copper over 35%. Each is a critical raw material used in electronics manufacturing, where pricing is already fraught for business owners and their customers due to tariff uncertainty and a critical supply chain that resides mostly in China. The volatility of precious metals markets adds yet another layer of complexity for manufacturers, pushing up raw material costs.
