Poor Metrology: The Hidden Cost

Doing more with less has been the standard operating procedure in manufacturing over the past ten years. Everyone is looking for areas where they can cut corners,maintain quality,and improve pr .. read more

INEMI Rework Machine Temperature Tolerance and Repeatability Study

Currently little data exists on temperature repeatability of BGA/CSP rework machine equipment. This is an issue especially for lead-free rework as the temperatures during lead-free BGA/CSP rewo .. read more

Embedded Passives Predictability,As-Received and In-Service

Embedded resistors and capacitors provide high-density high-performance solutions,freeing up the surface for other components and enabling tailored interconnect topology. This technology needs .. read more

Effect of OSP Chemistry on the Hole Fill Performance During Pb-free Wave Soldering

This paper analyzes the differences in plated through hole fill performance between the regular OSP and Pb-free OSP PCB surface finish chemistries in a Pb-free wave solder process. The variable .. read more

Thixotropy of Solder Paste Impacts Repeatability and Reproducibility of Rheometric Results

The widespread use of SAC-based (SnAgCu) lead-free solder paste drives the industry toward a smaller process window. This is due to higher reflow temperatures as well as the limited thermal res .. read more

Analysis of AXI Test on Fine Pitch Components between Lead Free and Tin/Lead Assembly

By now,most people in the industry understand how complex it is to convert a factory from using a Tin-Lead (Eutectic) Solder process to a Lead Free process. The implementation of this change re .. read more

Comparative Evaluation of AOI Systems

The electronic industry trend of smaller component packages and tighter spacing has put greater demands on manufacturing for process control and product verification. Defects must be caught ear .. read more

AOI in EMS

As outsource to EMS,the requirement for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment changes as well. Due to the diversity of the business,EMS providers require equipment that can handle a myri .. read more
