Indium Corporation's Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will teach a professional development course at the Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) May 27-30 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Lee’s course, Lead-Free Solder Joint Reliability - Materials Consideration, will cover materials considerations required for achieving high-reliability lead-free solder joints. This course will provide a greater understanding of how various factors contribute to the failure modes, and how to select proper alloys and surface finishes for achieving high-reliability.
