The demand for 0201 components in consumer products will increase sharply over the next few years due to the need for miniaturization. It is predicted that over 20 billion 0201 components will be used in more than one billion cell phones worldwide by the year 2003. Therefore, research and development on 0201 assembly is becoming a very hot topic. The first step to achieve a successful assembly process is to obtain a good PCB design for 0201 packages. This paper presents the data and criteria of PCB design for 0201 packages, including the pad design for 0201 components, and the minimum pad spacing or component clearance between 0201 components or between 0201 and other components. A systematic study on pad design and pad spacing was undertaken, using two test vehicles and three Design of Experiments (DOEs). In the first DOE, 2 out of 18 types of 0201 pad designs were selected based on process yield. The second DOE was focused on pad spacing, including 10mil, 8mil, 6mil and 4mil. The third experiment was final optimization, using two types of optimized pad designs with 10mil, 8mil and 6mil pad spacing. Through the above experiments, the design guideline for PCB layout for 0201 packages and the assembly process capability are identified.

Material and Process Characterization studies can be used to quantify the harmful effects that might arise from solder flux and other process residues left on external surfaces after soldering. Residues present on an electronic assembly can cause unwanted electrochemical reactions leading to intermittent performance and total failure. Components with terminations that extend underneath the package can trap flux residue. These bottom terminated components are flush with the bottom of the device and can have small solderable terminations located along the perimeter sides of the package. The clearance between power and ground render high electrical forces, which can propagate electrochemical interactions when exposed to atmospheric moisture (harsh environments). The purpose of this research is to predict and understand the functional performance of residues present under single row QFN component packages. The objective of the research study is to develop and collect a set of guidelines for understanding the relationship between ionic contamination and electrical performance of a BTC component when exposed to atmospheric moisture and the trade-offs between electrical, ionic contamination levels, and cleanliness. Utilizing the knowledge gained from undertaking the testing of QFN components and associated DOE, the team will establish a reference Test Suite and Test Spec for cleanliness.
