Cracking solder found in cross sections

What process steps have been completed before the cross-section? What type of devices have solder cracks? Are the cracks found after just normal processing or after some type of validation testing? It is very unlikely to be a heating/cooling issue

Bigger particle size solder paste helps reduce via hole problem?

Electronics Forum | Wed Jun 01 15:50:59 EDT 2011 | markhoch

I don't believe that particle size of the solderpaste will offer you any relief from this issue. The solder flows into the via, leeching away from the desired solderpoint, after the solder has become liquious. The chemical make-up of the solder contr

Al: We agree with AVFOM. You have a different problem than solder paste mesh selection. Most often, tombstoning occurs when the wetting forces on the two pads are unequal. Examples of things that can cause this are: * Pads are different * Board pad

Flux Pen or Flux Syring

It depends on the flux and the down-stream processing ... * If there is adequate down-stream cleaning: We are ambivalent. * If the flux is low residue and there in no down-stream cleaning: We don't like using a syringe because it squirts liquid flux
