Alpha, the world leader in the production of electronic soldering materials, introduced its latest product offering for Die Attach applications, including a world first for Sintering at the PCIM show in Nuremberg, Germany, on the 19th-21st May.
Alpha’s new ALPHA Argomax 9000 Preforms are a world first for the Power Semiconductor Industry. These innovative preforms deliver superior thermal conductivity, ultra high reliability and excellent electrical conductivity. They have shown excellent performance in large area attachment and can help to simplify the manufacturing process.
Alpha’s Global Product Manager for Sintered Materials, Julien Joguet attended PCIM for Alpha, “This year we launched one of our most innovative products at PCIM, the ALPHA® Argomax® 9000 preforms. Up until now ALPHA® Argomax® has only been available in both paste and film formats, but now we are the first to introduce a sintering product in a preform format to widen our product portfolio and extend the superior capabilities of Argomax®.”
Argomax® 9000 preforms can be used in a range of applications from power modules to Automotive applications, in areas in which thermal and electrical conductivity and joint strength is crucial. The preforms are available in tape and reel format and waffle pack for standard pick and place equipments.
In addition, Alpha showcased its broad range of products for Die Attach applications including the full Argomax® range and ALPHA® Atrox™D800HT Series Die Attach Paste which is specially designed for packages requiring rapid heat dissipation. The paste delivers high reliability and can be used for a wide range of die attach applications including Std IC, PMIC, Analog, RF and Power Discrete Packages.
