Component Misplacement Prevention on the ICOS Tape & Reel process using TRIZ & Lean

The paper discusses on the problems faced by the Assembly,Test Manufacturing (ATM) plants of Intel Corporation for a certain Tape and Reel Process. The problem is generic across the other siste .. read more

Dynamic LEAN Shop Floor SMT Material Control Starting ONLY What You Can Finish

In high mix (250+ Assemblies) environments,ensuring small batches are delivered in a timely yet flexible manner without large levels of safety stock and WIP requires the very best of LEAN Manuf .. read more

Economic and Technical Advantages of Chemical Dross Elimination and Prevention

Dross generation has always been a costly issue for the electronics assembly industry. At least half,and in many cases,more than half of the metal (solder) purchased for electronic manufacture .. read more

Selective Electroless Nickel and Gold Plating of Individual Integrated Circuits for Thermocompression Gold Stud Bump Flip-Chip Attachment

Flip chip bonding is the most desirable direct chip attachment approach for minimizing electronic assembly size as well as improving device performance. For most prototyping applications it is .. read more

The Graping Phenomenon: Improving Pb-Free Solder Coalescence through Process and Material Optimization

As small surface-mount components such as 0201 and 01005 packages have entered volume assembly,manufacturers are observing increased instances of poor solder coalescence during reflow. The root .. read more

Increasing Profitability through Process Optimization: Better Than Outsourcing

Research has shown that U.S. companies can realize higher profits over outsourcing by putting their houses in order and finetuning their production processes,with automation being a key contrib .. read more

Lead-free Rework Experiences Using SAC and Sn-Cu Based Alloys

As companies transition over to lead-free assembly a certain amount of hand-soldering and rework will be performed. An article from Tech Search International last year did state that in Asia wh .. read more

Optimizing Your Reflow Profile for Maximum Productivity and Profitability

Successful reflow soldering is a key to productivity and profitability,yet many assemblers may be using a nonoptimized reflow profile. Years ago,when IR ovens were the norm and solder pastes we .. read more
