Effect of BGA Reballing and its Influence on Ball Shear Strength

As more components are becoming lead free and not available in the tin lead alloy,there is an industry wide interest when it comes to the reballing and the subsequent effects it has on the stre .. read more

Material Selection and Parameter Optimization for Reliable TMV Pop Assembly

The successful integration of package-on-package (PoP) stacking utilizing through mold via (TMV) technology hinges on a robust assembly process. In this study,seven dip materials were investiga .. read more

Improving Yields and Quality: Two Case Studies: Graping and the Head-on-Pillow defect

HoP Mitigation is addressed with respect to solder paste,components,inspection,process and the environment. Graping minimization recommendations are given with data driven suggestions. .. read more

Head-In-Pillow: Are we still Snoozing?

-BA flux: Water soluble BA flux has a higher HiP risk relative to NC BA flux,likely due to higher surface oxidation risks. -Deflux: Washing process using water or DIW in combination with other .. read more

Broadband Printing: The New SMT Challenge

The Surface Mount Technology (SMT) industry has overcome many challenges in the last 30 years,since its introduction in the 1980’s. One recent challenge has been the lead-free assembly. People .. read more

Investigating the 01005-Component Assembly Process Requirements

In 2006 we conducted two formal detailed experiments on the 01005-component assembly process. Two of the most significant findings from those experiments were that a 0.003” thick stencil is req .. read more

01005 Assembly Process – From the Board Design to the Reflow Process

The trend towards ever smaller components and more function density continues unabated in the SMT field. Manufacturers and users must increasingly coordinate their activities to develop usable .. read more

Critical Cleaning of Highly Densed Electronic Assemblies in the Lead Free

An important development in high reliability electronics is the convergence of circuit board and advanced packaging technologies. This combination enhances the best attributes of each technolog .. read more

Reflow Process Control Monitoring,and Data Logging

With the introduction of lead free electronics assembly worldwide,greater concerns are raised over factory control of materials and processes. Due to the mix of both leaded and lead free produc .. read more

Process Development for 01005 Lead-Free Passive Assembly: Stencil Printing

For some years now,an area ratio of 0.66 or greater has been the criterion for stencil apertures to achieve acceptable volume control in the printed solder paste “brick,” for small apertures Me .. read more

PCB Design and Assembly Process Development of 01005 Components with Lead Free Solder

The continuing demand for smaller,lighter multifunctional portable electronic products has driven the use of miniature components. To satisfy this demand,01005 chip components are now commercia .. read more

Understanding Stencil Requirements for a Lead Free Mass Imaging Process

Many words have been written about the impending lead free transition,during this period of frantic discovery lots has been communicated about the reflow and alloy concerns; But the print proce .. read more
