MacDermid Alpha to Promote New ALPHA Argomax AccuLam Sintering Film and Package Attach Sintering Application at PCIM Europe
May 4, 2022 | MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a global supplier of integrated solutions from our Circuitry, Assembly and Semiconductor divisions, will showcase its latest sintering process solutions, including the new ALPHA Argomax AccuLam Sintering Film, at the upcoming PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany from Tuesday 10th - Thursday 12th May in Hall 7 Booth #227.
ALPHA Argomax AccuLam is the next revolution in Sintering Film, delivering higher throughput and larger area lamination compatibility whilst being uniquely customized for a customer’s requirements. The film is part of the range of ALPHA Argomax Sinter Process Solutions which also includes paste for printing and dispense and preforms specially engineered for Top Side Attach, Die Attach, Wafer Attach and Package Attach processes.
A key highlight at the MacDermid Alpha booth will be demonstrations of ALPHA Argomax in the package attach process using a sintering press. The successful sintering of molded power packages is possible due to the lower pressure, lower temperature, and faster sinter times enabled by ALPHA Argomax. The paste ensures intimate contact between the package and the heat-sink, accommodates warpage, and sinters with low pressure without cracking the molded module. ALPHA Argomax, based on proprietary nano-particles technology, is the preferred sintering solution for package to heat-sink attach with demonstrated 10X improvement in power cycling reliability.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.

The Many Complexities of PFAS
03/26/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn its simplest definition, PFAS is a group of chemicals used to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. Fluoropolymer coatings can be in a variety of products. Though this definition is not inaccurate, it can be misleading. Depending on who you ask, there are upward of 10,000 PFAS chemistries that can meet various definitions.
