In addition to producing a complete spectrum of solder materials, Array Solders also creates gold preforms for die attach and lid seal applications. It should be noted that gold germanium (88au/12ge) and gold tin (80au/20sn) are eutectic alloys, meaning their melting and solidification points are both 278°C. High temperature solders 80au20sn and 88au12ge can also be categorized as brazing alloys.
