Indium Corp.'s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, and Dr. Ron Lasky, senior technologist, will present at the SMTA/iNEMI Medical Electronics Symposium November 13-14 in Milpitas, CA.
Lee's presentation, "Shock Resistant and Thermally Reliable Low-Ag SAC Solder Doped with Mn for Portable Medical Devices," discusses a new soldering
alloy doped with Mn, and its considerable improvement in shock resistance and thermal fatigue performance.
Laskys presentation, "Tin Whiskers: Causes, Risks, and Mitigation," reviews what tin whiskers are, how they form, mitigation techniques, and how to use failure modes and effects analysis as techniques to assess tin whisker risk.
