In doing process qualifications for 0201 caps, has anyone taken cross-sections and discovered cracks / hairline fractures / voids between the metalization on the end and the ceramic itself? (not cracks in the solder joint) We are well within the cap

Se�or Tech Consider the following in evaluating your adhesive: * Determine the ability to dispense/print epoxy dots over the full range of application diameters/volumes. * Assess the ability to dispense/print epoxy without undesirable characteristic

Hi I haven't looked yet at what DaveF gave you. It is my guess that your SJR stands for Solder Joint Reliability. The answer would in general be NO to your question. Usually things in the design community are done in steps that provide a certain

It is an interesting topic. This will tell you if they are cleaning the boards well(Di). We typically warn our fab houses if we see them head up or over 4 micrograms per square inch. On occasion we have seen upwards of 20, and "rejected" I think

Bare board cleanliness is still primarily measured by resistivity of solvent extract (ROSE) using instruments such as Omegameters and Zero Ions. What is considered as "acceptable" cleanliness varies between specification and from company to company.

Hi Well you already got good answers with some diversity, yet from what I read they are giving you the answers for Assembled PWBs, i.e. post solder or PWAs. I don't remember ever doing this for raw boards. For most of the current pwb finishes it se

Hi I kind of agree without any reliability studies. Where are the Ionics coming from? After Soldering depending on chemistry I think we agree? Yet these are bare boards after many processes and even testing that should scrub out or off the Ionics.

From personal experience, if the PWB vendor is cutting costs and doing their final rinse with tap water instead of DI you will get ionic contaminants left on the board. You might consider having CSL, or one of the other independent labs mentioned e

Considering only Ionic residues is very dangerous, most heat transfer fluids that are extremely hygroscopic are also non ionic especially those used in HASL / Roller Tinning fluids. Also consider if the resist is cured or in fact porous which absorbs
