1st Order Failure Model for Area Array CSP Devices with Pb-Free Solder

As some of the reliability issues and cost associated with tin silver copper solders become more apparent,alternative pb-free solder formulations are being considered. Of particular interest ar .. 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

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

Study of SMT Assembly Processes for Fine Pitch CSP Packages

The SMT (surface mount technology) assembly process for 0.4 mm pitch CSP (chip scale package) components was studied in this work. For the screen printing process,the printing performance of di .. read more

Mechanical Bending Technique for Determining CSP Design and Assembly Weaknesses

A cyclic board-bending technique has been developed to ensure a reproducible multiaxial stress state at the Chip Size Package (CSP) solder fillet. Mechanically stressing the package serves as a .. read more

Implementation of No-Flow Underfills on Chip Scale Packages

Chip Scale Package (CSP) technology is growing at a rapid pace since its emergence in the electronics manufacturing industry. As the solder joint size decreases,it has become apparent that unde .. read more
