Solder/Microsolder Interconnect /Reliability Relevance

Singapore : December 8th-11th 2015

Enhanced reliability of solder-substrate interface in flexible, bendable and wearable advanced electronic products is becoming a necessity with the inevitable integrated demands of Tsensors, IoT and eHealth.

This inaugural symposium provides an overview of technology trends, development challenges in methods, materials and applications in solder-joint engineering arena with special emphasis on upcoming technologies for electronic cluster industries.

The primary purpose is to bring together the solder/surface engineering professionals, the end users and ASEAN technologists in Singapore for R&D and business collaboration initiation. This inaugural platform also discusses current state of the art technologies, comprehensive applications and an update on the understanding of electronic package solder-joint reliability at micron/submicron landscape.

 

Technology topics to be addressed but not limited to

 

- Micro structural evolution and interfacial interactions in lead-free solder interconnects (LFSI)

- Lead-free solder joint reliability status and trends

- Chemical interactions and reliability testing for LFSI

- Tin Whisker growth on lead free solder finishes

- Accelerated testing methodology for LFSI.

- Thermomechanical reliability prediction, DfR, FEM of LFSI.

- Characterization and failure analysis of Lead free solder defects.

- LFSI reliability outlook at micron landscape.

- Surface finishing/coating development

- Surface finish at PCB and chip bond ( Substrate pad finish ( NiAu, OSP, SoP,ImSn, ENEPIG )

 

Technical Symposium

Keynote talk, invited presentations, poster contributions will be in 9-10 Dec 2015 from 0900am 0530pm.

 

Education Courses

Solder interconnect reliability is an integration of applied sciences and engineering and hence currently there is a need to groom engineers and researchers from various levels - technicians, graduate and postgraduates in multidisciplinary areas. The courses will be conducted at UTown, NUS from 0900am to 0530pm. They are

a) Solder and Solder – Surface Finish Reliability:

This topic will be conducted on Tuesday, 8th Dec 2015.

b) Practical Surface Engineering Process and Interface

Analysis:

This topic will be conducted on Friday, 11th Dec 2015.

 

Table-Top Exhibition

An exhibition will be held in conjunction with the symposium in UTown, NUS at Singapore. It will be open on 9-10th Dec 2015 from 1000am to 0500pm to facilitate a communication channel between the users and manufacturers in solder – Joint interconnect engineering technologies. If you wish to meet your potential customers and market your products/services face to face in a cost – effective way, mark your calendar. For information on how to exhibit, please contact the Secretariat.
