Inclusion Voiding in Gull Wing Solder Joints

Solder voiding in ball grid array (BGA) solder joints has been well characterized and documented in IPC-A-610 and IPC- 7095 which define industry recommended BGA solder workmanship criteria and .. read more

A Standard Multilayer Printed Wiring Board for Material Reliability Evaluations

This paper details the Alcatel-Lucent Pb-free Material Reliability Test board (MRT) used in two different High Density Packaging User Group tests covering 56 different constructions and in nume .. read more

FEA Study of Solder Hole Fill Impact on the Reliability of PTH Solder Joints

This paper is focused on the impact of solder hole fill on the reliability of the plated-through-hole (PTH) solder joints with different board thicknesses. Finite element analysis (FEA) is empl .. read more

Industrial Backward Solution for Lead-Free Exempted AHP* Electronic Products

Since the European 2002/95/EC RoHS directive enforcement on 1st July 2006,a dominating part of the electronic industry suppressed the use of Pb in electronic equipment. As one of the consequenc .. read more

Solder Joint Reliability of Pb-free Sn-Ag-Cu Ball Grid Array (BGA) Components in Sn-Pb Assembly Process

For companies that choose to take the Pb-free exemption under the European Union’s RoHS Directive and continue to manufacture tin-lead (Sn-Pb) electronic products,there is a growing concern abo .. read more

Application Research of Snap Curing CSP Underfill

CSP underfill commonly acts to protect solder bumps of fine pitch CSP and enhances the reliability. This paper presents four snap curing underfills (=2min@150?or=5min@120?),tested on SnPb assem .. read more

Effect of Design Variables on the Reliability of Lead Free Area Array Connectors

As the use of area array connectors has become more widespread in electronic assemblies,the need to evaluate their reliability has increased. There is,however,limited information on how best to .. read more
