Rudy Ghosh, PhD, will present during an online joint SMTA chapter meeting on Thursday May 13, 2021 from 1-2 p.m. PST.
Ghosh will present, “Use of flash lamps to achieve non-equilibrium soldering and assembly using conventional solder alloys.” The drive to enhance human interactivity and reduce weight of electronic systems has led to the use of non-conventional substrates. As the substrates become thinner, more flexible and economical, the thermal stability of the working substrate is significantly lowered. As such, the conventional modes of component attachment are no longer functional.
