Hi, Is the IPC-A-610 applicable to CSP assemblies? Especially regarding the solder ball to solder ball distance versus the minimum electrical clearance for assembly(0.13mm/IPC-A-610). With a 0.4mm pitch component and 260 microns diameters balls, thi

As CSP and BGA packages become more and more popular, I want to know if anyone get problem to assembly CSP packages. Currently, most CSP use 20mil solder ball diameter and it is a trend to go down to 16mil or even 12mil. I wonder if there is a probl

It is still a big concern on using No-clean or aqueous cleaning for CSP assembly. I prefer to use no-clean, however, not all components are suitable to use it. Especially those dirty capacitors or connectors which may cause solderability problem. It

I'm afraid we don't agree regarding the best test method to use here. My understanding is as follows. The omegameter test measures board-level, ionic contamination (i.e., average for the entire board area and all components); it does not tell you w

Can anyone point me to a specification or paper describing the existance of voids in transfer mold epoxies during CSP assembly? We have found very small bubbles in our process, but cannot find any information as to whether this is acceptable, and if

I don't have answers...just comments. We're just starting to assemble CSPs on protos, and I've got the same concerns you have. The MicroBGA package I'm working with has a ball diameter of 0.325mm (0.0128") and a standoff of just 0.010" BEFORE solde

Where I worked, we used 0.014" square aperatures (several mfgs. have proven the benefits of square & I've seen a better transfer efficiency myself). Some mfgs use smaller edge lengths & have had success. 0.005" thick stencils give better transfer e

Solder flux and solder paste deposition is a standard step during the chip attach and sphere attach portions of BGA and CSP assembly. A technique called ultra-violet fluorescence intensity mapping (UV FIM) has been introduced that allows flux measure

Dear Micheal, SIR test is used to characterize fluxes by determining the degration of electrical insulation resistance of rigid printed wiring board specimens after exposure to the specified flux. (IPC TM-650 #2.6.3.3 http://www.ipc.org/html/tm2.6.h

Kelvin, Yes, we're referencing the same spec. I performed the test under the Class 2 conditions (except that I used a 100V bias rather than 50V...but my water-washed microBGAs still passed). Regarding the omegameter test: we have this instrument,
