1 Alpha's LED Materials Technology Brings Value to Automotive Lighting Applications Increased Efficiency & Brightness Increased Reliability & Lifetime Reduced Cost/Lumen Over Lifetime alpha

2 Bright Ideas from Alpha Advanced assembly technology for Automotive lighting LED Alpha s specialty material technologies are based on our strong commitment to research and development and a clear understanding of the need to provide value in the assembly of LED lighting products in each key step in the manufacturing process. Our well-known global soldering materials leadership provides us with a deep insight into the challenging variety of bonding events required to assemble LED, lighting, drivers and controls while helping to drive down the total cost of ownership. Alpha s focus is on the LED industry technology drivers that will advance LED production and accelerate market acceptance. We offer product technology that has a very positive impact on each key level of LED manufacturing: Level 2 Package on Board Level 3 Module Level 4/5 Power Driver & Control System

3 Level 2 Package on Board In Level 2 Alpha product technologies can create value by providing higher thermal transfer, improved reliability, low processing temperatures, and by tailoring to specific package requirements. Technology Drivers Cost/ Lumen Efficiency/ Brightness Reliability/ Lifetime Level of LED Products Type Properties Value Created Product Offering Improved thermal cycling, especially for exterior Paste with SAC alloys Improved vibration resistance for exterior, such as DRLs, projection modules, tail lamps, and signal lighting Paste with MAXREL Alloy L2 Package on Board Sintered Silver Product (Package on Board) Superior electrical Lower electrical loss Higher brightness and efficiency thus, increasing the reliability and lifetime of the package Fortibond Pressureless Sinterable n: Ag Paste Low residues Low contamination potential Preforms Low void ALPHA SAC Alloy Preforms

4 Level 3 Module In Level 3 lighting module assembly, Alpha products can enable the reliability and long term performance required in most LED. Technology Drivers Cost/ Lumen Efficiency/ Brightness Reliability/ Lifetime Level of LED Products Type Properties Value Created Product Offering Improved thermal cycling, especially for indoor Paste with SAC alloys Improved vibration resistance for exterior Paste with MAXREL Alloy L3 Module Low residues Low contamination potential Preforms Low void ALPHA SAC and MAXREL Alloy Preforms

5 Level 4/5 Power Driver & Control System In Level 4/5 power driver/supply assembly and control system assembly, Alpha offers high value products that can improve thermal cycling and vibration resistance, and reduce residues and voiding, while offering lower cost of ownership based on proven low silver content. Technology Drivers Cost/ Lumen Efficiency/ Brightness Reliability/ Lifetime Level of LED Products Type Properties Value Created Product Offering Improved thermal cycling for interior lighting Paste with SAC Alloys Improved vibration resistance Higher reliability for exterior Paste with MAXREL Alloys L4/L5 Power Driver and Control System Long soak profile Low residues solder joints when board thermal mass is high Low contamination potential Lumet SAC Alloys Solder Paste Preforms Low void ALPHA SAC Alloy Preforms
