Manufacturing processes, handling and printed circuit assembly (PCA) test can put a lot of mechanical stresses on packages, causing failures. As grid array packages get larger, identifying how to set safe levels for these steps becomes more difficult. A new quantitative test methodology within IPC/JEDEC-9707, Spherical Bend Test Method for Characterization of Board Level Interconnects, lets users determine how much strain packages can take before reliability degradation.
