Reading time ( words)

Indium Corporation’s Adam Murling, Technical Support Engineer, will participate in a virtual miniaturization roundtable hosted by BarTron on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. British Time/11 p.m. Malaysia Time).  

In Process Solution Series Part 2: Industry Progression to Miniaturization, roundtable guests will discuss new manufacturing challenges caused by miniaturization, including those within the printer process, solder paste powder size, placement improvements, and inspection. The roundtable will be followed by a live Q&A.

Murling is responsible for providing leading-edge technical support for customers around the globe through SMT process optimization, material recommendations, and customer training. He nurtures existing accounts and assists in strategy development for obtaining new accounts. Murling also plans and executes customer and internal designs-of-experiments.

X=Xc – 1 is a conceptual equation for continuous improvement. You define X and work to reduce it by a factor of 1. This could be one work hour, one process step, one day less in a cycle, and so on. We recently met with Dr. Ron Lasky to discuss the concept of X=Xc – 1 and get his advice on generating enthusiasm among readers and the next generation about continuous improvement. As this discussion illustrates, many process improvements are small in scale, not yearlong, major efforts.

Printed circuit manufacturing was not one of the jobs that electrical engineers in HP wanted to do. EEs were also not the best choice for printed circuit manufacturing because chemical engineers, chemists, and mechanical engineers had more skills useful to support the PCB manufacturing process. Therefore, I was authorized to recruit external hires. To recruit chemical engineers, we went to those universities noted for their focus on industries like electronics, process control, and environmental...

It is assumed that readers are familiar with manufacturing electronic circuit assemblies in accordance with IPC-J-STD-001 or IEC 61189-1; both are titled “Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies.” In October 2018, IPC-J-STD-001 Revision G was amended and released with a new Section 8 of the document titled “Cleaning.” The change was primarily the removal of a “cleanliness” level of 1.56 mg/square cm of NaCl equivalence. This small change has great significance in relation to how companies ensure the electrochemical reliability of their products.
