Cypress, CA — One of the largestconglomerates in South Korea, Han-wha Group has a long history ofbuilding everything from securitycameras to jet engines and self-pro-pelled howitzers. The company now
plans to channel this expertise intothe North American SMT market.
Following the recent acquisitionof Samsung Techwin, Hanwha Tech-win Automation Americas has estab-lished a center of excellence in Cy-press, California. The 16,000 ft2
(1,486m2) facility was christened on
July 26, 2017, and boasts four state-of-the-art, functional SMT produc-tion lines, a full inventory of spareparts, space for feeder calibrationand rework, and a stock of factory-certified preowned SMT machines,as well as brand-new equipment.
Hanwha CEO Allen Choi gave atoast to the new facility, calling it a“basecamp” for the company. Analo-gous to mountain climbing, Hanwhahas cemented the foundation of amanufacturing technology platformthat carries with it decades of SMTexperience, promising to save itsNorth American customers the trou-ble of starting any production
College Park, MD — Engineers at theUniversity of Maryland have invent-ed an entirely new kind of battery. Itis biocompatible, because it producesthe same kind of electrical energythat the body uses.
In ordinary batteries the elec-trical energy, or current, is deliveredin the form of moving electrons. Thisflow of electrons out of the battery isgenerated by moving positive ionsfrom one end to the other of the bat-tery. This new device does the oppo-
site. It moves electrons around in thedevice to deliver energy as a flow ofions out. Through ion currents, elec-tricity is generated in the humanbody and in all living things. This isthe first time that an ionic current-generating battery has been createdby humans.
“My intention is for ionic sys-tems to interface with human sys-tems,” says Liangbing Hu, the headof the group that developed the bat-tery. Hu is a professor of materialsscience at the University of Mary-land, College Park. He is also a mem-ber of the University of MarylandEnergy Research Center and a prin-cipal investigator of the Nanostruc-tures for Electrical Energy StorageEnergy Frontier Research Center,sponsored by the Department of En-ergy, which funded the study.

Osaka, Japan — Researchers fromOsaka University, Italy and theNetherlands have shown thatnanowire resonators can be used tofurther miniaturize energy-efficientelectronics. A major path to thisminiaturization has been the devel-opment of nano-size resonators,which convert small levels of electri-cal power into mechanical oscilla-tions at high frequencies.
The new systems, built aroundfreestanding nanowires, are simple,scalable and open the possibility ofcreating NEMS that have fastswitching and are powered by a DCpower source.
“Nano-electromechanical res-onators are used in all sorts of moderntechnology. You may not see them, butthey can be found in robotics, medicaltools and environmental sensors,”says Osaka University professorHidezaku Tanaka.
Earlier this year, Tanaka andhis research team created a free-standing nanowire that could reducethe power demands of nano-res-onators by a factor of 100. “Transi-tion metals undergo an insulator-to-metal transition. We made free-standing nanowires made of vanadi-um dioxide (VO2) that had high per-formance at low power.”
The phase transition can occurby injecting electrical power into VO2

West Conshohocken, PA — Heraeus Electronicshas opened a new SMT applications lab at its facil-ity in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Themulti-million dollar investment is a fully-function-al SMT assembly line that customers can use tooptimize their processes, collaborate on productdevelopment and troubleshoot issues.
The applications lab provides a comprehen-sive range of testing capabilities, including: prod-uct/process defect analysis, root cause and correc-tive action (RCCA); SEM/EDX spectroscopy (scan-ning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray); Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR); thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA); differ-ential scanning calorimetry (DSC); die-penetrationtesting, cross-sectioning and CT X-ray; pull and
shear testing; and wirebond analysis. One of the many highlights of the new lab is
its climate-controlled cleanroom. This allows thecompany to adjust the climate when working withpaste customers from different geographicalregions. By adjusting and replicating the cus-tomer’s climate, Heraeus can systematically opti-mize processes and successfully develop productsthat fit customer requirements.
The lab contains state-of-the-art equipment,including a DEK Horizon printer, Parmi SIGMAxBlue SPI, E by SIPLACE component mounter, aNordson DAGE shear tester, and a 10-zone Rehmreflow oven.
This facility is the fifth in a global network ofregional labs located in key markets to provide
customers with direct access to Heraeus technicalsupport. With the investment, Heraeus isstrengthening its commitment to serving as astrategic partner for customers in the growingSMT industry.
The new SMT customer applications lab willenable Heraeus to work collaboratively with cus-tomers to resolve specific performance challenges,manage joint development projects and supportthe design and simulation of processes.

Heraeus Opens Fully Functional SMT Assembly / Customer Applications Lab
Chandler, AZ — Koh YoungTechnology is offering a new 3D pininspector, KY-P3. The KY-P3, builton the company’s 3D AOI technology,is designed to deliver true 3D inspec-tion. The system is easy to set up forinspection and can be modified basedon the inspection results.
The company has also devel-oped a 3D foreign material inspec-tion algorithm for its Zenith UHS 3DAOI system. The algorithm canmeasure and inspect all kinds ofdefects, without sacrificing accuracyand speed. It also improves PCBquality control by detecting foreignmaterials across the surface of theentire PCB.
Koh Young’s integrated KS -MART solutions provide useful datafeedback using quality data. TheKSMART solution is a measurement-based process analysis solution,which allows manufacturers toimplement industry 4.0 with reliablefull 3D measurement data. Key fea-tures of the KSMART solutioninclude SPC@KS MART, OLD@KS -MART, and the KSMART processoptimizer, which helps to review,diagnose and optimize printingprocesses.

Nihon Develops Solder Paste Alloy
Osage Beach, MO — NihonSuperior’s SN100CV™ P506 D4 is alead-free, no-clean solder paste witha basic composition of SnCuNiGeBi.The new alloy has an addition thatenables thermally-stable solderjoints even after thermalcycling. Unlike silver-containingalloys that derive their strengthfrom a dispersion of fine parti-cles of eutectic Ag3Sn, SN100CVgains its strength from soluteatoms in the tin matrix of thejoint. The ability of the solderpaste to survive long-term stor-age at room temperature allowssimplification of stock manage-ment, while meeting all therequirements of today’s reflowsoldering processes.
The eutectic character of thesilver-free SN100C alloy and itsassociated high fluidity providesfaster wetting and increased spread-ability over SAC305, which is benefi-cial for wave soldering and hand sol-dering applications, as well as duringreflow. The SN100CV alloy is
designed to offer solutions to some ofthe challenges the electronics indus-try is now facing, such as improve-ments in reliability and thermallystable joining.
