Isola Group had successfully transitioned the manufacturing of its low-loss, I-Speed material to Asia. The move was in response to an increased demand for I-Speed products. The cost benefits of manufacturing in Asia have enabled a price reduction of I-Speed for printed circuit board (PCB) fabricators located in the Asia-Pacific region.

How susceptible are the metals used in modern electronics manufacturing to corrosion by common beverages? This is a question of interest, especially to manufacturers, retailers and to a certain extent end customers. In this study the dissolution of aluminum, copper, gold, iron, lead, nickel, SAC305 solder, silver, tin and zinc was examined. Individual foils of these materials were fully immersed in one of sixteen chosen beverages and heated for 3 days at 40°C. The resulting solutions were analyzed using ICP-OES. The data were examined in light of the known pH, conductivity and ionic contents of the beverages, determined in previous work. Conclusions about the relative susceptibility to corrosion of the various metals and the corrosive power of the different beverages are made.

Ultrathin bare die chips were soldered using a novel soldering technology. Using homogeneous flash light generated by high-power xenon flash lamp the dummy components and the bare die NFC chips were successfully soldered to copper tracks on polyimide (PI) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flex foils by using industry standard Sn-Ag-Cu lead free alloys. Due to the selectivity of light absorption, a limited temperature increase was observed in the PET substrates while the chip and copper tracks were rapidly heated to a temperatures above the solder melting temperature. This allowed to successfully soldered components onto the delicate polyethylene foil substrates using lead-free alloys with liquidus temperatures above 200 °C. It was shown that by preheating components above the decomposition temperature of solder paste flux with a set of short low intensity pulses the processing window could be significantly extended compared to the process with direct illumination of chips with high intensity flash pulse. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that with localized tuning of pulse intensity components having different heat capacity could be simultaneously soldered using a single flash pulse.
