Analyzing a Printed Circuit Board with Oxide Residue

A number of similar Printed Wiring Assemblies (PWAs) had been subjected to final electrical tests on automated test equipment when a common test failure was recognized. All PWAs were failing .. read more

Designing a High Performance Electroless Nickel and Immersion Gold to Maximize Highest Reliability

The latest highest reliability requirements demand a high performance electroless nickel and immersion gold (HP ENIG). The new IPC specification 4552A has refocused the industry with referen .. read more

Copper Filled Microvias - The New Hidden Threat Links of Faith Are Not Created Equally

Microvias connect adjacent copper layers to complete electrical paths. Copper-filled microvias can be stacked to form connections beyond adjacent copper layers. Staggered microvias stitch ad .. read more

Qualification of Thin Form Factor PWBs for Handset Assembly

The handheld wireless product market place demands products that are small,thin,low-cost and lightweight and improved user interfaces. In addition,the convergence of handheld wireless phones wi .. read more

Effect of Conformal Coating on Tin Whisker Growth

This paper will present the testing performed to date by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control on Tin Whisker test coupons. Coupons are representative lead materials and are half coated wit .. read more

Fluxless Sn-Ag Solder Joints between Silicon and Ag-Cladded Copper with Reliability Evaluations--MEJ

A fluxless bonding process between silicon and copper using Sn-rich Ag-Sn-Au multilayer composite has been developed. The copper substrate is plated with a silver layer as stress buffer. We bon .. read more
