Indium Technology Expert to Present at IMAPS ATW on Advances in Semiconductor Packaging
August 23, 2016 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Maria Durham will present at IMAPS’ Advanced Technology Workshop and Tabletop Exhibition on Advances in Semiconductor Packaging Sept. 22 at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica, N.Y.
Maria Durham, Technical Support Engineer for Semiconductor and Advanced Assembly Materials, will present Meeting Solder Paste Printing Challenges for SiP in “Smart” IoT Devices. Her presentation will cover ultra-fine pitch solder paste printing to meet the needs of system-in-package (SiP) mobile devices, with a focus on attachment of 01005 and 008004 passive devices.
Additionally, Derrick Herron, Technical Support Engineer, will serve as chair for the Test/Reliability/Modeling session.
Durham serves as technical liaison between Indium Corporation’s customers and internal departments, such as sales, research and development, and operations to guarantee the best quality and selection of products. She earned her bachelor’s degree in physics and applied mathematics from Clarkson University, Potsdam, N.Y.
Herron provides technical service to customers in the northeastern United States. Previously, he spent more than six years developing solder paste and flux technologies in Indium Corporation’s research and development laboratory. Herron earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Okla. He received his Six Sigma Green Belt from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, and is certified in IPC-A-600 and IPC-A-610-D.

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.
