How to Manage Material Outgassing in Reflow Oven

In a lead-free reflow process, temperatures are higher, and materials use outgasses more than in a leaded reflow process. The trends toward higher density populated boards and more pin-in-pa .. read more

An Experimental Approach to Characterising CAF

The electrochemical short,Conductive Anodic Filamentation,that that can develop within a PCB can be difficult to diagnose and detect,and there are many material and process issues that can lead .. 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

Applied Research for Optimizing Process: Parameters for Cleaning Pb-Free Flux

As the electronics industry moves toward the implementation of Pb-free soldering,the impact on the assembly process must be considered. One process that is often over looked is the cleaning of .. read more

Qualification of Stacked Microvia Boards for Handset Assembly

The trends of increased functionality and reduced size of portable wireless products,such as handsets and PDAs,are demanding increased routing densities for printed circuit boards. The handheld .. read more

Lead-Free Implementation: Drop-In Manufacturing

The Lead-free electronics manufacturing has become a reality. As of this writing,a few manufacturers have rightfully reported their total completion to Lead-free production across all facilitie .. read more

Lead Free Reflow Process Control

All areas of manufacturing worldwide are impacted by the lead free initiative; none more than the reflow process. The higher melt temperatures and soak duration of leadless solder formulas requ .. read more

The Importance of Cooling Rate in the Developing the Totally Controlled Reflow Process for Lead Free and Eutectic Tin Lead...

The impact cooling rates exert on the reflow process is identified. The trends in shear strength and the microstructural evolution of the solder joints are described. Lead free (Sn/3.5Ag/0.7Cu) .. read more

Taking the Pain Out of Pb-Free Reflow

The introduction of Pb-free solder into the electronics industry has required changes to the standard surface mount process. The largest changes are in the reflow process,as Pb-free pastes requ .. read more

The Bumping of Wafer Level Packages

The relentless trend for smaller,lighter,cheaper consumer products continues to fuel the demand for new,smaller, efficient electronic packages. In recent years wafer level packaging concepts ha .. read more

An Efficient Test Model to Study the Board Level Reliability For High I/O Flip Chip BGA Packages

With the increasing demands of complex functions in a single chipset or microprocessor,the development of large size high I/O Flip Chip BGA (FCBGA) package becomes very important in recent year .. read more

Implementation of High I/O Count 1mm Pitch BGA Technology

Electronic package size reduction and demand for increased functions within less board space make a challenge for the PCB designer to find smaller footprint components that will out perform lar .. read more

Automated SPC for the Reflow Process
