Kerry,

You have gotten a lot of good direction, from a mechanical standpoint,
you might check the following.

If Multilayer, are you putting some non-functional pads in to allow for
some Anchoring of the plating to the prepreg system?  If you are, is the
PCB house removing them?
What type of Glass are you calling out in the system, or are you leaving
it to the PCB house to decide?
What clearance are you providing and allowing for Cu plating... I have
received art in past that won't allow for the 2oz the customer specified
on a HASL plated PCB, maybe look to a different solder finish if this is
root.

My 2RMB

Hi Kerry: There's a list a mile long that can cause hole wall adhesion.

Typically it is in the steps for hole clean/prep/condition/catalization
prior to electroless copper. If not done correctly the interfacial
bonding of the electroless to the hole wall can be weak and will
subsequently pull away when stressed. However that is simply a guess as
to the cause of your problem.

To try and narrow it down can you supply some additional information:
You may or may not have this information but without it whatever
responses you get will only be speculation and may lead you in the wrong
direction.

*       Are these multilayer boards, how many layers?
*       If they are multilayer what is the desmear process?
*       Are they built with electrloess copper if not what?
*       What is the electroplated copper thickness in the hole?
*       Do you have cross sections to look at, can you furnish pictures?
*       What is actually separating is it the copper (electroless or
electroplated) from the hole wall, is it separating from the entire hole
wall, just the laminate, the inner connect, etc?
*       Where in the assembly process is it happening?

Re: [TN] Barrel to Laminate Adhesion loss






Could be a few causes, at what stage are you seeing this?

1 - As Received condition?
2 - After Thermal Stress?
3 - After Assembly?

Some common causes could be;

1 - Poor drilling (resulting in excessive resin smear or damaged hole
wall)
2 - Poor resin smear removal
3 - Poor pre-electroless copper cleaning-prep
4 - Poor electroless copper plating
5 - Material type (are you using some exotic material)

Would you provide more info.

Franklin
