We agree with "guest" above. This a "chip bonder" type material used to improve the reliability of array type devices. "A relative comparison of the N50 values is given below: No underfill = 1.0X (baseline) Corner bond = 1.3X Non reworkable underfi

Hello, we rework BGA packages that come back from the field. I've seen on occasion a black and or red "epoxy" substance from the manufacturer on the corner of some board's BGA chips that I imagine are applied to increase corner bond of the chip to th

Here is a draft visual inspection guide for underfill, please pass this on to the relevant people for any comments or suggestions. I am currently working on the pictures to go with the reference guide. Flip Chip/uBGA Underfill Visual Standards The

Depends on your Material (Chemistry) and Machine. We use a hot plate with the material in an "L" patern. The Hot plate is used only in aiding the capillary action. Also, is time an issue?? Here is a good paper from Asymtek that was poster in Advan

Chris, We are involved in several developments using gold stud bump attach. We make a stud bump bonder and have several processes for attach. Solder attach is best done by plating up the substrate, the underfill must be able to provide enough mechan

Hi SMTAnet, SMTnet, I am pretty sure recently I heard and read a report with them simply reflowed with an improvement in strengths from a slowly degrading strength. I can't find it quick and don't remember all the caveats like maybe an underfill phe

I have been reading a good deal about IMC (purple plague in particular) in gold wire/aluminum pad wire bonds. My company uses ultrasonic wedge bonding, and for the most part all of our bonding is gold/gold, however we have one particulr part that has
