Indium Corporation’s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will present at the regional SMTA expos in Plano and Stafford, Texas.

On March 4, Dr. Lee will present "Lead-free Solder Alloys - Pros and Cons and Novel High Temperature Option BiAgX" at SMTA Dallas in Plano, Texas. This presentation covers the pros and cons of lead-free soldering, including process and reliability. Dr. Lee will also discuss a novel high temperature lead-free solder system called BiAgX™.

On March 6, Dr. Lee will present "Voiding Control and Reliability of Solder Joints with Backward Compatibility" at SMTA Houston in Stafford, Texas. His presentation discusses the voiding performance of backward compatible systems in terms of reflow profiles, alloy combinations, and reliability when compared to tin-lead and lead-free systems.
