BGA Mounting Using Improved Solder Columns

BGAs are usually solder-reflowed on substrates,which are frequently made of a different material than that of the BGAs,which results in a TCE Mismatch between the components. If such an assembl .. read more

The Effect of Via-in-Pad Via-Fill on Solder Joint Void Formation

Fabricators,and the copper plating process they choose,can have considerable influence on their customers' solder joint reliability. In the case of high density assemblies,via-in-pad designs of .. read more

Capabilities of Tools Used to Measure Voids to Industry Standards

It is stated that some degree of voiding is acceptable and inevitable when soldering electronic components,and specifically BGAs. There have been many publications which discuss this phenomena, .. read more

Solder Joint Thermal Fatigue Damage Evaluation by a Simplified Method

In the present study,a simplified analysis methodology is used to evaluate thermal fatigue damage of solder joints of a leadless ceramic chip carrier (LCCC) or a leadless chip capacitor/resisto .. read more

PWB Final Surface Treatment Process and Film Characteristics that Satisfy Lead-free Solder Mounting

Because of environmental concerns,elimination of lead from electronic components has been recently encouraged,and as a result,lead-free solders are frequently adopted for solder mounting. The O .. read more
