The increased temperatures associated with lead free processes have produced significant challenges for PWB laminates. Newly developed laminates have different curing processes, are commonly filled with ceramic particles or micro-clays and can have higher Tg values. These changes designed to reduce Z-axis expansion and improve the materials resistance to thermal excursions through primary attach and rework operations have also produced harder resin systems with reduced fracture toughness.
New features highlight the ability for the customer to control what Process features are available.

This paper presents the use of physics of failure (PoF) methodology to infer fast and accurate lifetime predictions for power electronics at the printed circuit board (PCB) level in early design stages. It is shown that the ability to accurately model silicon–metal layers, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assemblies allows, for instance, the prediction of solder fatigue failure due to thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing conditions. The technique allows a lifecycle prognosis of the PCB, taking into account the environmental stresses it will encounter during the period of operation. Primarily, it involves converting an electronic computer aided design (eCAD) circuit layout into computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) models with accurate geometries. From this, stressors, such as thermal cycling, mechanical shock, natural frequency, and harmonic and random vibrations, are applied to understand PCB degradation, and semiconductor and capacitor wear, and accordingly provide a method for high-fidelity power PCB modelling, which can be subsequently used to facilitate virtual testing and digital twinning for aircraft systems and sub-systems.

Imagine being able to accurately predict the correct artwork compensations prior to taking on a large quick turn order regardless of the board design, materials, or process. Such predictive power is possible and can be achieved without a lot of cost and complexity. This paper shows how small sets of designed experiments can be used to create a cImagine being able to accurately predict the correct artwork compensations prior to taking on a large quick turn order regardless of the board design, materials, or process. Such predictive power is possible and can be achieved without a lot of cost and complexity. This paper shows how small sets of designed experiments can be used to create a compensation model. Before a discussion of the design of experiments (DOEs), we will examine key processes and material variables that affect movement as demonstrated on real board design layout in a real production process. Only the few most relevant variables need to be included in the experimental design. A solution is presented that uses small experiments that provide the required information for constructing a general compensation model.mpensation model.
