The Effect of Reflow Profiling on the Electrical Reliability of No-Clean Solder Paste Flux Residues

An estimated 80% of all SMT assembly in the world is performed with a no-clean soldering process,largely due to the predominance of consumer-type electronics. The continuing trend of increasing .. read more

Improving Yields and Quality: Two Case Studies: Graping and the Head-on-Pillow defect

HoP Mitigation is addressed with respect to solder paste,components,inspection,process and the environment. Graping minimization recommendations are given with data driven suggestions. .. read more

Before & After Reflow Characterization of FCBGA Voiding Utilizing High Resolution CT Scan,X-ray (2D & 3D) Imaging,and Cross Section with...

A joint project between Flextronics Inc. and North Star Imaging Inc. is being conducted to correlate current x-ray imaging and cross-section analysis of BGA voiding with state of the art high r .. read more

Investigating the 01005-Component Assembly Process Requirements

In 2006 we conducted two formal detailed experiments on the 01005-component assembly process. Two of the most significant findings from those experiments were that a 0.003” thick stencil is req .. read more

THE EFFECT OF FILLING VIA-IN-PAD ON VOIDING RATES IN PWB ASSEMBLY FOR BGA COMPONENTS

The debate on the effect of voiding on BGA reliability has continued for years. Many PWB assemblers strive to minimize voiding,particularly with the advent of lead-free processing and in fine f .. read more
