Optimising Rheology for Package-on-Package Flux Dip Processes

The continued drive for more compact and lightweight handheld mobile devices has forcibly pushed the electronics assembly industry to look for novel packaging and assembly technologies. One of .. 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

The Effect of Processing,Glass Finish,and Rheology on the Interlaminar Shear Strength of a Woven e-Glass Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite

Laminated woven glass reinforced polymer matrix composites (PMC) are commonly used in the electronics industry as a robust and effective substrate for circuit boards. In such applications,relia .. read more

A Proposed Mechanism and Remedy for Ball-in-Socket and Foot-in-Mud Soldering Defects on Ball Grid Array and Quad Flat Pack Components

A common source of defects on area array components is the “ball-in-socket” (or “pillowhead”) defect. This defect is defined as one or more connections that show physical contact but no wetting .. read more

Oxidation and Topography of Powder in Pb-free Solder Paste

There are compelling reasons to study the relationship between oxidation and the topography of solder powder; these include the following: ?? Customer requirements to reflow SAC-based (SnAgCu) .. read more

Squeegee Blades vs. Pump Technology: A Comparison of Solder Paste Print Performance

Enclosed print heads have recently been available to circuit board manufacturers as an alternate technology to conventional squeegee printing. By design,enclosed print heads offer several advan .. read more

Effect of Alloy and Composition on Shelf Life of Water Soluble Solder Pastes

Shelf life is one of the most important characteristics of solder paste. Many pastes exhibit good print characteristics when fresh but then suffer rapid degradation. Although rosin based pastes .. read more

Optimization Study for Solder Pastes Used in Wafer Bumping Applications

Solder paste for use in wafer bumping applications is becoming an extremely viable technology. Yields from solder paste printing applications are approaching that of typical bumping technologie .. read more

Comparison of High-Tg-FR-4 Base Materials
