Indium Corporation’s Dr. HongWen Zhang, Research Metallurgist, will present at the 2013 Electronics Packaging Symposium October 15-16 at Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York.
Dr. Zhang’s presentation, Processing, Reliability, and Corrosion Resistance of BiAgX for Die-Attach Applications, compares the corrosion resistance of BiAgX, a drop-in lead-free solder paste solution for high-temperature die-attach applications, to Pb/5Sn/2.5Ag and SAC305.
Dr. Zhang is a Research Metallurgist for Indium Corporation’s research and development department. His focus is on the development of lead-free solder materials for high temperature and/or high fatigue resistance applications, and the investigation of associated technologies. He and Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee invented the mixed powder solder technique in which minor additives are used to improve the wetting and modify the bonding interface, thus increasing the bonding strength. On the basis of this technique, the BiAgX solder system was invented as an alternative high-temperature lead-free solder.
