Microtronic GmbH, a leading sales specialist of microelectronics, today announced plans to exhibit at the 20th European Microelectronics and Packaging Conference & Exhibition (EMPC), scheduled to take place Sept. 14-16, 2015 in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Company representative will demonstrate the Microtronic LBT-210, Akrometrix TherMoiré AXP and Sonix ECHO™ as well as specialty solders from AIM.
Microtronic’s LBT-210 automatic and PC-controlled solderability tester is a revolutionary system that meets today’s current industry challenges. The system is operated by using solder paste and a temperature profile. A component is placed on printed solder paste and heated through the same temperature profile that is used in production. All force parameters and values during the heating cycle are monitored and saved. This is the only known existing method of simulating and qualifying the solder profile of an in-line production solder furnace in conjunction with different solder pastes and components.
Of course, it also can measure using the common methods with a solder bath or a solder globule. All industry standards including IPC, IES, NF, MIL and JEDEC are supported.
The Akrometrix TherMoiré AXP is a modular metrology solution that utilizes the shadow moiré measurement technique, combined with automated phase-stepping, to characterize out-of-plane displacement for samples up to 400 mm x 400 mm. With time-temperature profiling capability, the TherMoiré AXP captures a complete history of a sample's behavior during a user-defined thermal profile.
The Sonix ECHO™ Ultrasonic Flaw Detector is an industry-leading scanning acoustic microscope that provides a universal inspection tool for packaged semiconductor development, production and failure analysis. With the ability to detect air defects as thin 0.05 micron and spatially resolve defects down to 10 microns, the ECHO is perfect for bump detection, stacked die (3D packaging) inspection, complex flip chip inspection and more traditional plastic packages.

I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
