Hi All:

    I am working in a PCB fabricator in China, and we scarcely heard the
similar case form our SMT customers, we have all kinds of surface finish
process, such as OSP, HASL, Immersion gold and so on..... I think this is
properly the problem from the solder mask; we use DI water clean the boards
after solder mask and have UV "bump" during mask cure, I think this will
helpful.

主题: Re: [TN] PB Surface Contamination

What is the surface finish on the PCB?  If it is HA

Joe,

What is the surface finish on the PCB?  If it is HASL there is a reason
for the  contamination.

Regards,
George

Subject: [TN] PB Surface Contamination

A cleaned bare PB is exposed to bake or reflow, and comes out with
measurable ionic contamination.  The board is dirtier at the surface
after 
a heat excursion.

The contamination isn't coming from the oven, handling, or anything
external.
Heat causes something to move from the inside of the board to the
outside.

We haven't done any ion chromatography or other testing yet to
run this down, but has anyone heard of or experienced anything similar?

In our normal process, we clean everything multiple times, but if the 
contaminant builds up under solder mask, or in other areas that are 
difficult to clean, we could have SIR or corrosion problems around fine 
surface features or in high voltage areas.

And if this ionic contamination doesn't just move up to the surface,
but is somehow moving around inside the board, could it collect in 
some places and lead to CAF or other problems?
