Assembly and Reliability of 1704 I/O FCBGA and FPBGAs

Commercial-off-the-shelf ball/column grid array packaging (COTS BGA/CGA) technologies in high reliability versions are now being considered for use in a number of National Aeronautics and Space .. read more

Process Development and Characterization of the Stencil Printing Process for Small Apertures

The consumer’s interest for smaller,lighter and higher performance electronics products has increased the use of ultra fine pitch packages,such as Flip Chips and Chip Scale Packages,in printed .. read more

Effect of Surface Finish,Reflow Profile and High Temperature Aging on Drop Test Reliability of Lead Free CSPs

Chip scale packages (CSPs) are widely used in portable electronic products. Mechanical drop testing is a critical reliability requirement for these products. With the switch to lead free solder .. read more

Lead Free Flip Chip and Chip Scale Package Inspection: New Challenges Will Require New Inspection Technologies

Lead free implementation will present new challenges for PCB manufacturers from a design,soldering process,and QC standpoint. The higher reflow process temperatures will cause greater thermal s .. read more

Lead-Free and Mixed Assembly Solder Joint Reliability Trends

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of solder joint reliability data for lead-free Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) and mixed assembly (SnPb + SAC) circuit boards based on an extensive,but non-exhaustive .. read more

Lead Free Assembly of Chip Scale Packages

Chip scale packages (CSPs) are widely used in portable electronic products where there is also a growing trend to lead free assembly. Many CSP designs will meet the thermal cycle or thermal sho .. read more

Reliability Assessment of CSP Underfill Methods

The miniaturization trend in electronics has proliferated the use of Chip Scale Packages (CSPs) in electronics assembly. CSPs used in portable devices are subjected to harsh mechanical and ther .. read more

Board Level Manufacturability and Reliability Assessment of 0.5 mm Wafer Level CSP with Over-Sized Balls

The endless quest for increased performance in less space has recently manifested itself in 0.5mm pitch Chip Scale Packages (CSP). The footprints of these packages are only about half the size .. read more

Enhancement of CSP Mechanical Strength using Underfill or Bonding Material

Underfill technology has been used to minimize the mismatch of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) in flip chip technology. An extension of this application has been used to increase the .. read more
