As mentioned in a separate post, uniform pressure across a NanoBond® interface is critical for maximum solder bond strength. Uniform pressure is m...
The first time I was taught how to solder (as a child), I was told: “All the surfaces need to be mechanically cleaned and chemically cleaned.&rd...
The first step of the NanoBond® process should usually happen long before the NanoFoil® arrives at your facility. DFM (design for manufacturin...
While on a recent trip to Malaysia, I interviewed two colleagues regarding trends in semiconductor assembly. My previously-published interview with Sz...
The 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition is back in Germany again this year. I’m looking forward to seeing my frien...
One of the biggest misconceptions about NanoFoil® is that it is a form of solder. While it may contain a solder coating if specified (usually tin)...
Ultrasonic Testing (UT), performed by acoustic microscopy, is a great way to determine the quality of a solder bond without destroying the assembly. ...
Folks, Everyday, we are exposed to the results of surveys and polls. A typical example might be that President Obama is leading Mitt Romney in a...
I’m just back from Malaysia, where I visited one of our larger customers who has been using our high-lead (high-Pb) dispensable N...
I hate being “bought”. I feel both devalued and trivialized when that sort of thing is proposed. It actually turns me off when I am offere...
