Hi all, I'm wondering how does one decide to use flux dipping or solder printing when it comes to be attaching CSPs onto the board? Solder printing has an advantage in that there will be a higher throughput on the mounter as there is no flux dippin

80 micrometres (0.08mm)

I have solder bumps diameters @ 80um, the board pad size @ 100um. Can this size be printed? How about dispensing?

Joshua, 100um is 4mil aperture. You should ask several stencil houses about the possibility to print that small amount of paste(type 6 paste is available now with very small solder spheres 5-15um diameter). Even applying small amount(thin layer of f

80 micrometres (0.08mm) or 80 mil (2mm)? Smallest I've seen reliably printed is around 0.2mm x 0.4mm (01005 pad) and 0.2mm x 0.2mm CSP pad, not seen anything dispensed below 0.35ish, but we are not cutting edge.

If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

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

Hi Joshua, We've done both, but a lot depends on what soloution your machine vendor has, and how good it is. Can you add it into your machine acceptance criteria? Rob.

Ok, that's small - I think you may need a special semi-conductor printer for this - positional accuracy on a "normal" SMT printer is no more than 20 micrometres from memory. In my semiconductror fab days we were printing with a positional accuracy

We have been doing BGA's for years now, and I would suggest updating your profile and place a thermal couple on the BGA, keep in mind the bigger the part the more heat it will need, We stencil print all of BGA's from simple bga's to complex ones, you
