Well, Auger would be an "overkill" for the case.

Subject: Re: [TN] ENIG Issue



Bill,



You may have a surface nickel issue that is affecting the solderability.

There are very few in-line fixes, but for root cause, conduct a surface

analysis study for a nickel rich surface (Auger). There may have been an

issue during the fabrication ENIG process.



Quick Test

1. Apply only solder paste to the panel conduct reflow (bottom or top)

2. Apply only solder paste to the second side and conduct reflow.

3. The "non" or dewetted panel will serve as a talking point with the

board supplier.

Subject: [TN] ENIG Issue



Fellow TechNetters:  I ran into a problem and I am looking for more

information.  We had some PCB made with ENIG for SMT applications.  We

populated the backside, ran them through the convection oven, the solder

fillets were fine.  Populated the first five (5) PCBs on the topside,

ran them through the convection oven, and the solder fillets were quite

bad, actually dewetted.  Could not even be touched up.  Tried two (2)

more random PCBs and got the same results.  Never have run into this

before but have been told it is NOT a unique problem.  Has anybody had

this happen?  Have to tell our customer that they are not going to be

getting their PCBs on time and would rather not look like the north end

of a southbound mule.







Thanks in advance for your assistance.
