Influence of Salt Residues on BGA Head in Pillow

The oxide layers are known as wetting inhibitors in component and PCB metallizations. The oxide acts as barrier that prevent the tin diffusion from happening. Besides,in corrosion studies,the r .. read more

TOF SIMS Analysis for SnxOy Determination on Lead-Free HASL PCB’s

During the production of Lead-Free Hot Air Solder Leveling (LF HASL),non-wetting issues in several components were found including BGA pad. The common visual aspect of the suspicious pads was t .. read more

Impregnation of Metal Complex into Epoxy Insulation Materials Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Its Application for Copper Plating

Metal plating of epoxy polymer has been widely applied for industrial products for a long time,especially in the field of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s). This technique is one of the most impor .. read more

Drop Testing of a Pb-Free Board after Assembly and SnPb-Rework

•Board-level drop shock test was performed on 9 assemblies –63 parts / board –Parts representative of military package styles •Assembled on Pb-free compatible laminate with SAC 305 solder •Sele .. read more

Reliability and Microstructure of Lead-Free Solder Joints in Industrial Electronics after Accelerated Thermal Aging

The reliability of lead-free (LF) solder joints in surface-mounted device components (SMD) has been investigated after thermo-cycle testing. Kirkendall voids have been observed at the interface .. read more

A Compliant and Creep Resistant SAC-Al (Ni) Alloy

Addition of Al into SAC alloys reduces the number of hard Ag3Sn and Cu6Sn5 IMC particles,and forms larger,softer non-stoichiometric AlAg and AlCu particles. This results in a significant reduct .. read more

Black Pad and Revisiting Methodologies

Society today relies on electronic devices that influence every aspect of our lives,such as communication,transportation,computing,home appliances,and recreation. The reliability of any electro .. read more

The Whisker Growth Investigation of IC Packaging on the PC Board Assembly

The whisker concern has been greatly affecting lead free RoHS conversion confidence in the lead frame packages,particularly for high end product conversion. Although plenty of related study in .. read more
