HI, regarding the baking....why are you doing it every 72 hours ? How many times has each device been baked ? If you are worried about moisture in the devices the best policy is to store them correctly in dry packs or dry cabinets or bake them once j

Our biggest concern is "head in pillow". I need something that can easily find this defect and call it out. I don't want something that I need an operator reviewing for pass/fail.

Agree with previous comment regarding possible head-in-pillow. Use 3D x-ray or CT-scan to verify.

Does anyone have experience with HiP defects with DDR memory components that they would be willing to share? I am interested in SMT process corrective actions and repair processes. I can discuss this privately if needed.

HiP most of the time goes back to the component package itself. If they are on the periphery of the part, it is a result excessive of expansion and contraction from the temperature. If it is in the middle, other contributors come in place.

Hi, I have faced some problems with DQFN PACKAGE 132 PIN. After some cross sections and dye pry analysis we could find a head on pillow situation always on inner row pads. The PCBAs are double side and the DQFNs are assembled on Bottom side (Noteboo

All, I have an intermittent faut with a 672 BGA where it fails in test but upon applying pressure to the BGA it works. Clearly there is an issue with the wetting of some Balls causing a poor connection. My profile looks spot on - I think I poste

I need some advise from those with experience on this component. We are facing soldering problem "pillow effect"(from cross section result)on this BGA. In the reflow profile point of view which area should we focused more? The soak time or the Total

If this board is waved soldered than you may want to look at the wave causing the BGA to reflow a 2nd time when it goes over the wave. The board bows down and the the joint liquidfies and then hardens before the board fully goes back to flat which c

Hello, I see you checked your options in stencil design, but did you check the pad design on the board itself? May be the board has to be fixed. We run some dual row QFNs and never had a problem. I would examine the pad design and the finish of the
