Use of Lead-Free Laminate DMA and TMA Data to Develop Stress versus Temperature Relationships for Predicting Plated Hole Reliability

Accelerated testing of plated hole life is necessary for economic reasons due to the long time to failure during field operating conditions. One difficulty in performing accelerated testing on .. read more

The Effect of Functional Pads and Pitch on Via Reliability using Thermal Cycling and Interconnect Stress Testing

European legislation has meant that lead-free solders now dominate mainstream electronics manufacturing. These replacement solders are all high tin alloys with significantly higher melting poin .. read more

New Methods to Efficiently Test the Reliability of Plated Vias and to Model Plated Via Life from Laminate Material Data

This paper continues work by Sun Microsystems and the University of Maryland,CALCE[1] to predict plated through via life using laminate material properties,plated copper material properties,and .. read more

A DOE to assess PCB fabrication material design and process using IST (Interconnect Stress Testing) to improve fine pitch BGA...

During the development of a new medical imaging system,via quality was identified as a potentially source of infantile failures. Premature via failures were precipitated in a critical 14 layer .. read more

Reliability of Mis-registered HDI Plated Through Holes

Mechanically drilled through holes in PWBs form interconnects between copper layers through the use of copper pads. These pads are larger than the drill diameter to account for such factors as .. read more

Designing Ceramic Thick-Film Capacitors for Embedding in Printed Circuit Boards

This paper presents an emerging technology for embedding discrete ceramic thick-film capacitors directly into printed circuit boards. Their use frees up surface real estate allowing for smaller .. read more
