All, I try to find explanation(Article)on how Nitrogen gas can make tombstone defect even worst. However, I can't find one in the net. Anyone that has this information or article, appreciate if you can share with me...Thanks in advance.

Sorry on N2 and tombstone, many other aspects cause tombstones and n2 in itself does not cause tombstones. It can help make other bad variables tip over edge to cause tombstones more than with no N2. Get these right then N2 is not issue.

N2 is a reflow process widener so to speak, for leaded reflow less of a impact, for LF more impact, and if using finer LF solder pastes T4,T5 and smaller paste deposits generally, it helps widen window for flux in paste in oxide protection during soa

I've never seen a good article with a definitive explanation - just speculation that the increased wetting forces due to nitrogen result in increased tombstones. My own experience is that nitrogen is a very minor contributor to tombstones and can pr

Precisely why I run like hell at the sight of a salesman. Though some are actually pretty knowledgeable engineers (these folks are not the cookie-cutter catalog pushing guys).

Hi, A little off subject but I just finished a quick little experiment where I placed 0201 to 1206 and some ceramic resonators at specific distances off the scored edge. The distances from scored edge ranged from 0.025" on up at 0.025" increments.
