INDIUM CORPORATION FEATURES INFORMS® REINFORCED SOLDER PREFORMS AT APEC 2017

Indium Corporation will feature its reinforced solder alloy fabrications, InFORMS®, at APEC 2017, March 26-30, in Tampa, Fla. InFORMS are reinforced solder preforms that increase lateral strength and stability. As a result, improved thermal cycling reliability can be achieved. In one study where InFORMS were used to solder a DBC to the baseplate of an IGBT, the following were achieved: 4x improved thermal cycling reliability compared to a solder preform-only approach 2x improved thermal cycling reliability compared to a solder preform + Al wirebond stitch approach Low-voiding of <1% Lower cost of ownership – an InFORM is a drop-in replacement for a standard preform or solder paste, requiring no additional process steps or equipment For more information about Indium Corporation, visit www.indium.com or email abrown@indium.com.
