Indium Corporation to Feature Precision Materials for 5G Communications During IMS

Reading time ( words)

Indium Corporation will feature its precision materials for high-reliability 5G communications during the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) virtual exhibition from Aug. 4-6.

Indium Corporation provides a suite of leading-edge materials and technology expertise to solve the evolving challenges of 5G communication applications. This includes AuLTRA^® ThInFORMS™—0.00035” thick (0.00889mm or 8.89μm) 80Au20Sn preforms that improve the overall operational efficiency of high-output lasers commonly used in 5G communication infrastructure.

AuLTRA^® ThInFORMS™ help combat common issues, such as:

• Shorting—reduced solder volume inhibits wicking up the die, minimizing the risk of shorting
• Poor thermal transfer—the ultra-thin 0.00035” preform reduces bond-line thickness (BLT), thus improving thermal transfer and increasing the longevity and performance of the device

Indium Corporation also offers off-eutectic AuSn alloy options. These materials are designed to control wetting and voiding, yielding a high-reliability solder joint for critical high-power, high-frequency applications.

The IMS virtual exhibition will facilitate the benefits of a face-to-face trade show on a digital platform. For information on this topic or to chat with our experts, visit Indium Corporation’s virtual booth.

Nolan Johnson talks with Senior Product Manager Chris Nash of Indium Corporation, who discusses Durafuse LT, a novel solder paste mixed alloy system with highly versatile characteristics that enable energy savings, high-reliability, low-temperature, step soldering, and assemblies with large temperature gradients. It also provides superior drop shock performance to conventional low-temperature solders, outclassing BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and performing better than SAC305 with optimum process setup.

Clemens Jargon, senior vice president of High Flex at Mycronic, shares his thoughts about the company’s performance in 2022 (it was a strong year), plans for the new year (turnkey solutions), and what visitors to the Mycronic booth at the show can expect to see in the company’s state-of-the-art Iris™ 3D AOI vision technology.

In this Q&A, Rob Rowland, director of engineering at Axiom Electronics, discusses his new IPC APEX EXPO Professional Development course, “Reflow Profiling Simplified,” on how to create a standardized methodology to accurately generate new reflow soldering profiles. Rob explains, “In this class, I’ll explain how I approached this work to help others develop similar methodologies for creating their own reflow soldering profiles. My presentation also includes the basic reflow profile recipes I have been using for the past 20 years.”
