Tenting a via refers to covering via with soldermask to enclose or skin over the opening. A via is a hole drilled into the PCB that allows multiple layers on the PCB to be connected to each other. A non tented via is just a via that is not covered with the soldermask layer. Leaving these vias exposed or covered has pros and cons depending on the your design and manufacturing requirements.

> News-Blog > Guideline for wire bonding Guideline for wire bonding Tuesday,Jun 12,2018 There are two wire bonding processes that are used, Thermosonic (T/S) Gold Ball Wire Bonding and Ultrasonic (U/S) Aluminum Wedge Wire Bonding. Approximately 90% of all IC Assembly in Semiconductor Packages is manufactured using Gold Ball Bonding process, while Aluminum Wedge Bonding is used to produce about 10% of other Wire Bonding requirements on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), Printed Circuit Flex (PCF) and other Packages.

PWB Bake out or other elevated temperture processes can cause issues with oxidation of that Nickel layer. The gold porosity can vary from batch to batch, but also process changes can contribute. Are you baking the boards or have previous reflow pro

Here's one for you lot, dos anyone have a method or a vendor that can clean the ball's of BGA's of oxides to bring them back to 'new' conditions ? I've got a bathc of components that are fairly old and I get some issues with soldering them which I b

The paper Dave posted the link for is great. I have to go back and read it in depth. I can build prototypes by wirebonding to ENIG. I can do it on a manual wirebonder but I don't have the patience to do it on a magazine to magazine automatic machi

Is there a steadfast rule of thumb for a good solder joint on an Enig Gold board. I come across this number 217C when discussing BGA profiles. Is this a published number? I sure could use a reference. Anybody feedback is appreciated.

Few questions: - wich type of C-CGA ? (CAST or CLASP column to ceramic attach) - column pitch ? - column count ? - capped (with lid) ? or capless (c4 die on top)? - PCB board zize and thickness ? - PCB copper finisch ? (OSP,HASL, ENIG, etc) - v

Hello all. I need you advice and opinion on my problem with BGA drop off from the boards. Initial defect was ICT fail, but due to some accident, the board fell off, and the BGA just pop out. After some search, I end up to conclude it is a black pad
