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

How about building a panel and checking it out prior to sawing it up?

Sounds like you're killing the poor little critters. Tell us about: * Placement force. * Reflow method. * Where and how you are measuring your reflow recipe. * Cooling rate of the reflow recipe. * How the solder connection to the metalization appear

As you say, some BIG time force has pulled the metalization from the bottom of the component termination. From the pix it's hard to say whether it was caused by either: * Mechanical flexure of the board during an unusual heating or other processing

I don't think I can post pics in this (if anyone knows otherwise let me know), so I will email them to anyone who's curious. Here's the answers to your questions: Placement Force: 0201s are placed on the Siemens S23s with 1 newton of force. The s

Q1:A picture of the sectioned MLCC would be nice. A1: I don't think I can post pics in this (if anyone knows otherwise let me know), so I will email them to anyone who's curious. R1: You�re correct. You cannot post pix on SMTnet. Please email me t

I am having fractures in my tantalum caps, I believe it is from out fading but I am having a hard time convincing others. Where they are not hermatically sealed are thes fractures a concern? Moisture is entering the body regardless of the fractures?

It could be outgassing, are there any electrolitic caps or anything else nearby that may contain air or moisture? You could try baking the parts before use.

PPS caps absolutely do not like washing. It would appear the structure/chemistry of these things makes them sponges. We don't know if that leads specifically to delamination.

Out gassing not out fading
