A New Approach for Early Detection of PCB Pad Cratering Failures

Pad cratering refers to the initiation and propagation of fine cracks beneath BGA pads in organic substrates or printed circuit boards. These cracks,which usually initiate under the application .. read more

Pad Cratering Evaluation of PCB

Pad cratering in the PCB is a new failure mode encountered in electronic assemblies,particularly in lead-free products. The failure mechanisms and root causes are not yet fully understood,and l .. read more

Characterizing the Lead-Free Impact on PCB Pad Craters

Pad cratering in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) is typically associated with lead-free products. This paper addresses laminate materials and the failures associated with the higher Pb-Free reflo .. read more

Design Considerations for High Reliability PCB

- History & Importance of PCB - Environmental Initiatives - Reliability Consideration With High Temp Processing - Reliability Considerations for Materials to withstand Lead-Free Assembly .. read more

Validated Test Method to Characterize and Quantify Pad Cratering Under Bga Pads on Printed Circuit Boards

The conversion to lead free Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages has raised several new assembly and reliability issues. One reliability concern becoming more prevalent is the increased propensity fo .. 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

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

Observations on the Influences of Various Parameters on Pb-free Solder Joint Appearance and Strength

A designed experiment evaluated the influence of several variables on visual appearance and strength of Pb-free solder joints. Components,with leads finished with nickel-palladium-gold (NiPdAu) .. read more

Production Experience and Performance Characterization of a Novel Immersion Silver

Following previous reports by the authors on the general properties of a novel immersion silver process,this paper presents the production experience in typical horizontal lines to demonstrate .. read more
