MacDermid Alpha to Present Void Reduction and Silver Free Alloy Solutions at SMTA South China Technology Conference
August 18, 2020 | MacDermid Alpha Assembly DivisionEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The Assembly Division of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, a world leader in the production of electronics soldering and bonding materials, will be presenting two technical papers; “Methods of Reducing or Eliminating Voids in BGA and BTC Devices” and “Can Low Cost Silver Free Alloys Be Used in Type II and III Assemblies?” at the SMTA China South Technical Conference taking place from August 26-27 in Shenzhen, China.
Voiding is an area of concern for the long-term durability and functionality of electronic devices. Voids near or at the interface of surface mount technology (SMT) component input/outputs (I/O’s), or the circuit board substrate can be highly probable initiators of crack propagation, leading to the high possibility of a field failure. Voids are also very good insulators of heat, leading to thermal issues with heat sinks and thermal pads often used in power devices. The paper “Methods of Reducing or Eliminating Voids in BGA and BTC Devices” will focus on discussing both laboratory and field data and is aimed at circuit assembly engineers and designers who need to minimize voiding in tin lead and lead-free assemblies.
Traditionally, hole fill requirements in types II and III assemblies had required the use of silver bearing lead-free alloys during wave soldering. As a result of continuous alloy developments, an opportunity now exists to employ a silver free lead-free alloy that can meet such hole fill requirements. The second paper, “Can Low Cost Silver Free Alloys Be Used in Type II and III Assemblies?” will focus on sharing basic performance, limits, and strategic opportunities of the ALPHA® SnCX Plus 07 silver free alloy. Data is provided to help manufacturers keen on further savings to identify suitable Type II and even Type III assemblies for technical evaluations.
