I have two additional questions.

1). What is
Min Jun,



I have two additional questions.



1). What is the surface finish on the pads of the QFN?  Is it PdNiAu?



2). Have you made any transmission x-ray images of the QFN's soldered on the PCBA to see the number and size of voids on the pads and heat sink.?  







Regards,

George

Subject: [TN] ´ð¸´: [TN] QFN's open in SMT power module af ter second reflow



¡¡¡¡Thanks for your good suggestion.

¡¡¡¡There are few questions:-

¡¡¡¡How is the module soldered to you board? Manually (unlikely), reflow

oven, wave soldering or others?

¡¡¡¡RE: reflow oven with 12 zone.

¡¡¡¡a)	Is there a thermal pad at the center of the QFN?

¡¡¡¡RE:YES

¡¡¡¡b)	Is the solder fillet evenly across the terminals (align good)?

¡¡¡¡RE:YES

¡¡¡¡a)	It seems to me that the solder volume is not enough to hold the part

in it original position. Evaluate by adding solder/ touch on the terminals.

¡¡¡¡RE:Yes, we are trying it.

¡¡¡¡b)	The module came in SnPb alloy while your process calls for Lead-free

process?

¡¡¡¡RE: our process is snpb process,but QFN solder joint is lead-free alloy

but the module's terminal is snpb solderball.

¡¡¡¡c)	Try to add thermal relief/ small piece of heatsink on the QFN to

prevent it from re-melting

¡¡¡¡RE:a good idea, we are just trying to do it like what you said.

¡¡¡¡Subject: [TN] QFN's open in SMT power module after second reflow

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡We recently qualified a SMT power module which has a small QFN part on

the

¡¡¡¡board bottom side £¨the QFN package is intersil ISL6522 5mm¡Á5mm£©. 

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡After the module was soldered to our board, We often found solder

jointer

¡¡¡¡open in QFN terminal for remelting

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡We also find one doubtful point, in general, if the standoff of QFN has

¡¡¡¡obviously height and the solder jointer has beautiful fillet, 

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡The module will easily have the open issue after reflow. 

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡So we think the problem reason is caused from the incoming parts PCBA

¡¡¡¡process control and DFM design although the incoming is good, 

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡Also we think the standoff of QFN in module should be controlled,

otherwise

¡¡¡¡the solder jointer will have open issue in our PCBA.

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡Who have encountered the same issue or could give me any idea? Thanks in

¡¡¡¡advance!
