Reliability Testing For Microvias In Printed Wire Boards

Traditional single level microvia structures are generally considered the most robust type of interconnection within a printed wire board (PWB) substrate. The rapid implementation of HDI technology now commonly requires between 2, 3 or 4 levels of microvias sequentially processed into the product. Recent OEM funded reliability testing has confirmed that by ...

Influence of Plating Quality on Reliability of Microvias

Advances in miniaturized electronic devices have led to the evolution of microvias in high density interconnect (HDI) circuit boards from single-level to stacked structures that intersect multiple HDI layers. Stacked microvias are usually filled with electroplated copper. Challenges for fabricating reliable microvias include creating strong interface between ...

Reliability and Failure Mechanisms of Laminate Substrates in a Pb-free World

This presentation surveys the most significant via and via-related laminate failure mechanisms from past to present using data from current induced thermal cycling (CITC) testing, failure analysis, and other sources. The relative life and failure modes of thru vias, buried vias, and microvias (stacked vs. non-stacked) are compared, along with the affect of structure ...

Reliability of Stacked Microvia

Reliability of Microvia has been a concern since microvias were introduced to our industry. This study was designed to understand the reliability of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 Microvias. Reliability Test Coupon design was developed in co-operation with PWB Interconnect to include up to four stacks of microvias ...

Mydata Disable A Bad Hydra Setup To Continue Running -- hey all, I had a comically bad failure yesterday while working with my pick and place, a part got dropped at exactly the wrong moment and flung a bracket up into the tool path, severely damaging the hydra controlboard that is next to the x camera. The hydra setup is toast but the midas setup seems to have survived ok. However since the hydra setup fails initilization, i can't use the machine at all. is there a way to disable the entire hydra setup so i can continue running with only the midas tool head? thanks!
