| Hi Everyone, | We plan to build, for reliability/experimental/research purpose some CSPs (namely Tessera microBGA 46-I/O 0/75mm pitch and TI 64 I/O 0/8 mm pitch). the various factors that we plan to evaluate are the reliability and assembly concern

| | | | Hi, | | | | Does anyone has experiences in reflowing Ceramic BGA and found solder wicking ? Solder wicking has the syndrome that solder being wick from the pad and ended up in the leads. | | | | We have rule out the possibility of not printin

| | We currently bake plastic SMT parts in accordance with the IPC guidelines for moisture sensitive parts. Because we have double-sided boards that are subjected to either an aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning process, we do a 24 hour bake at 125 deg

| | We had some failures on an IC package that the manufacturer has put down to moisture inside the package, leading to popcorning. | | This seems a bit odd, the package is a PLCC 84 which is quite thick. I have only seen this problem on thin package

| Hello Ya'll, | I've got what may be a silly question, but why does it seem so important to everybody that you have x-ray capability if you're thinking about doing BGA? | I know what most people will tell me; "Steve, that's a pretty silly qu

| | Cpk's on top flight ovens (e.g., Conceptronics, Heller, Electrovert, Vitronics) vary wildly, from 1 to 2+, between different supplers. The suppliers don't seem to understand Cpk's. A supplier's rep whose oven has a Cpk of 1.0 told me: | | 1. C

Several points are: * There�s quite a bit of background on IMC in the fine SMTnet Archives. I�ll try not to duplicate it. * If you have a smooth and well-formed solder connection using fairly common materials, you assuredly will have IMC. Any evide
