About OLOVO, LLC
OLOVO, LLC is a supplier of low-alpha products which help reduce 'soft errors' in sensitive flip-chip applications. Soft errors are mistakes in logical calculations caused by collisions between alpha particles and logic components in embedded memory and high-speed integrated circuits. Traditional solder materials used in flip-chip interconnect are naturally high in alpha particle emission, causing unacceptable soft error rates in circuit devices. OLOVO is a privately held company with headquarters in Menlo Park, California, USA. OLOVO has been a leading supplier of low-alpha lead materials since its entry into the market in 1998. OLOVO's firm commitments to safety, quality assurance, and the environment have made OLOVO a valuable contributor to the semiconductor industry and general community.
