We had a issue on the SBGA and found stress built up at the corner of the SBGA after cool down to room temperature. It is confirmed by the warpage analysis. I expected that the stress caused by the heat spreader and the epoxy to the copper frame. O

Hi All! I've been reading this conversation which prompted me to break out the IPC-SM-786A from the IPC manuals from our parent company in Maryland sent us (we're just starting up in California). It's the Procedures for Characterizing and Handling of

Hi Mike, The Hadco design guidelines are really good - I was just there. To expand on what Dave said, scoring is an option, but I've never had good luck with it, myself. The scores are either too shallow, and I can't break the boards easily enough

OK Eric, is difficult answer at distance without examine the PCB..., anyway in my opinion the problem is the PCB quality. There are two possibility : the crack is between solder and nickel or is between nickel and pad copper. In both situation the

Jim, There are 2 thoughts to this technology. SMDP (Soldermask Defined Pads) Can achieve more uniform opening of the land, yet as you know Regisration shift of mask can become a problem. Also there has been debate as to whther SMDP cause crack p

We're with your customer. We believe inner layer separation is not linked to a heating excursion. What you are seeing is separation between the hole wall and the copper plating in the barrel of the hole on an unstressed PTH. Although, it's possibl

Read the articles everyone else recommend. I haven't read of them but I will say this. A Solder Mask Defined pad is a copper flood that has much more thermal mass than a Non-Solder Mask Defined pad so it will heat and cool at a slower rate. I suspect
