Interconnect Reliability Correlation with System Design and Transportation Stress

Interconnect reliability especially in BGA solder joints and compliant pins are subjected to design parameters which are very critical to ensure product performance at pre-defined shipping c .. read more

Solder Charge Grid Array: Advancements in the Technology of Surface Mount Area Array Solder Joint Attachment

Surface mount area arrays (SMAA) have been in existence for decades and are increasingly becoming more important as printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies become further complex with package mi .. read more

NASA-DoD Lead-Free Electronics Project: Mechanical Shock Test

Mechanical shock testing was conducted by Boeing Research and Technology (Seattle) for the NASA-DoD Lead-Free Electronics Solder Project. This project is follow-on to the Joint Council on Aging .. read more

Vibration and Mechanical Shock Testing

Little data has been generated on the performance of lead-free solders under vibration and mechanical shock. What data exists suggests that lead-free solders may be less reliable than eutectic .. 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

Dynamic Testing and Modeling for Solder Joint Reliability Evaluation

The behavior of BGA solder joints under dynamic loads has become more significant in recent years. This work explored test methodologies for solder joint failure evaluation under dynamic loads. .. 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

Method for Determining the Adhesion of Reflow Encapsulant Attached Components

A simple and cost effective method has been developed in order to test adhesion of components to a circuit board via a reflow encapsulant. Originally,a mechanical shock test similar to current .. read more

Study of Assembly Processes for Solder Flip Chips on FR-4 Substrates

Flip chip assembly is a key capability to enable product miniaturization. Our previous studies have investigated several flip chip interconnection types including anisotropic conductive film or .. read more
