Technical challenges in the electronics market: With each new generation, electronic devices have to fit more functions into a smaller space. The development goals are to reduce the weight and size of devices, increase reliability, and comply with new regulatory requirements. Electronic components consist of many materials: substrates, connectors, active and passive components, solders, adhesives, bonding wires, insulation and molding materials, and packages. At the Heraeus Application Center, expertise in materials, processing and application testing is combined to provide the best possible solutions to technical challenges.

Sintering: Sintering technology is a real alternative to the conventional soldering process in electronics manufacturing. Especially in view of the upcoming challenge of higher performance, higher reliability at high temperatures, this technology helps customers to be prepared for future electronic products.
