Hi there Steven ! Please allow me to share some of my problem we're facing here with you. Here are a few points that I suggest you should check on your current process:- (1)PCB - Component land partern design ? It is per IPC spec ? - Mask

Hi there. We have had an out of control reflow oven that has allowed its temperature to fluctuate by up to +/- 20 deg C from set point in very short periods of time. We found the root cause of the problem and fixed it, but by then we had already run

Hi Folk, what is the possible cause for the components (e.g ICs) to be Solder shorted? I know that one of the cause is the solder paste height is too thicked. Could anyone advise me on then possible root cause and solution(to minimize the rate of so

What are possible failure analysis (destructive or non-destructive and what are the pro/cons) I could conduct on the component level (of an IC) to determine failure mode/root cause? We are measuring internal shorts between leads on a SOIC after sold

The actual root cause not yet define. But i do check all that you stated all good setting parameter. 1 week before run the problematic batch, i had run another batch which all the BGA were good no solder short. Just recently i run another batch 21 pc

What about electo migration? I had (what apears to be) the exact same problem you describe. X-ray and ICT fails to detect micro shorts. However, in our test, the bench functional test would show a current overload. In some cases the electro migrti

| I need a memory jog. What is the term for the growth of conductive contamination after a board is in storage or field? | There are several different mechanisms which can cause this. In reality, ionic contamination is the root cause for many of the

| We are experiencing shorting on a BGA. The part has a 1mm pitch with a 196 I/O count. The problem seems to pop up without warning & disappear in the same manner. | Our pad design is .020" diameter pads with .025" solder resist diameter. The ce

May I share regarding this issue. Initially, please define the root cause clearly, is it from materials or process. Refer to the picture, if the short location is not randomly meaning there is the process issue. It could be stencil design or paste pr

Sounds like the mask to me. Had a similar situation a couple years ago. The mask wasn't fully cured, so it absorbed water that the preheaters couldn't dry out. When it outgassed at the wave, it caused a lot of micro turbulence that broke the surfa
