Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure are directed to an additive manufacturing build plate structure for metal build surface stabilization during 3D printing and facile release of 3D printed objects. The build plate includes a body having a recessed section formed through a first surface of the body, the recessed section including a bottom surface within the body and sidewalls extending to the bottom surface. The recessed section is configured to be filled with a solid form of a metal or metal alloy that provides a printing surface for forming a 3D object in a 3D printing device. The recessed section includes a locking mechanism configured to prevent lift-up of the solid form of the metal or metal alloy during 3D printing in the 3D printing device.

Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure relate to a lead-free solder paste with mixed solder powders that is particularly suitable for high temperature soldering applications involving multiple board-level reflow operations. In one implementation, the solder paste consists of 10 wt % to 90 wt % of a first solder alloy powder, the first solder alloy powder consisting of an SnSbCuAg solder alloy that has a wt % ratio of Sn:Sb of 0.75 to 1.1; 10 wt % to 90 wt % of a second solder alloy powder, the second solder alloy powder consisting of an Sn solder alloy including at least 80 wt % of Sn; and a remainder of flux.

Abstract: A solder preform in the shape of a solder tube or washer includes: a cylindrically shaped solder alloy body including an inner surface, an outer surface, a first end, a second end, a first opening located at the first end, and a second opening located at the second end, the second end interlocking with the first end, and the first opening and the second opening cut along an entire height of the solder alloy body; and a flux core embedded in the solder alloy body between the inner surface and the outer surface, the flux core including a thermochromic indicator. During reflow soldering, the flux core including the thermochromic indicator flows out of the first opening of the first end and the second opening of the second end to coat the inner surface of the solder alloy body and the outer surface of the solder alloy body.

Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure are directed to thermally decomposable build plates that enable the facile release of 3D metal printed parts created by additive manufacturing. In some implementations, an additive manufacturing build plate comprises: a top surface, a bottom surface, and sidewalls comprised of a material, wherein the top surface, bottom surface, and sidewalls are dimensioned such that the build plate is useable in a 3D printing device; and a recessed section formed through the top surface, wherein the recessed section is configured to be filled with a solid metal or metal alloy to provide a surface for forming a 3D printed object in the 3D printing device.

Abstract: A method of joining a semiconductor die to a passive heat exchanger can include applying a bond enhancing agent to a semiconductor device; creating an assembly that includes a thermal interface disposed on the semiconductor device such that a first major surface of the thermal interface material is in touching relation with the bond enhancing agent on the semiconductor device, and a heat exchanger disposed in touching relation with a second major surface of the thermal interface material; and reflowing the assembly such that the thermal interface bonds the heat exchanger to the semiconductor device. Embodiments can use the ability of indium to bond to a non-metallic surface to form the thermal interface, which may be enhanced by a secondary coating on either or both joining surfaces.

Abstract: A solder ribbon with an embedded mesh for improved reliability of semiconductor die to substrate attachment is described. A solder ribbon is embedded with a mesh having a melting point greater than that of the solder. The mesh is embedded through substantially the entire area of the solder ribbon. The embedded solder ribbon may then be wound onto a spool. During a reflow soldering process, the ribbon on the spool may be cut into segments that are placed between a semiconductor die and substrate to which the semiconductor die is to be bonded. When the semiconductor assembly is heated, the solder melts, but the mesh does not, allowing for uniform bondline thickness control.
