Can anyone point me to a specification or paper describing the existance of voids in transfer mold epoxies during CSP assembly? We have found very small bubbles in our process, but cannot find any information as to whether this is acceptable, and if

thanks for all your replies. we tried running our beta runs and have lots of issues. first our molding process which was set to 450'F temp at 1200 PSI smashed the circuit card components and penetrated the epoxy compound we used to encapsulate the C

Hi Etimov, Understood that to us assembling parts that IPC is king, however it isn't neccesarily the bible for design engineers. We've had customers demand almost zero voiding, or had to use conductive epoxy to avoid it. For some of us solder joi

John: The 180 Tg point is a sweet spot for obtaining heat resistance, cost effectivly. These high technology boards provide good thermal resistance for wire bonding, direct chip attach, and BGA mounting and rework. Since these boards are harder th

Does anyone know of a vendor of "black top" to fill in voids left by laser "X-out" patterns in the top of an epoxy (plastic) package ? We are demarking an area of a device and would like to fill it in with something other than a colored epoxy. Reg

There a several things you can do to prevent the solder wicking down the hole with the current design, and that's where you should focus. Cost goes up as you go down the list, but in neither case do you need to respin the board, have solder starvatio
