Thanks Steve
 
I never argue with success. :-)  Still curious why such tortuous  
conditions but will assume there is good reasoning behind it. 
 
Wishing you continued success...
Joe

Hi  Joe,
Can't be built that way - has to have a slight bend at the flex  end.
Components loaded both sides of the flex and both sides of the rigid-  so 
far
they are passing with no issues. Regards Steve

Hi Steve

Thanks for the clearer  picture. I was pondering off line about the 
benefits 
of making it a  rigid-flex. Why not do so at both ends? Seems that the  
prospective  benefits are evident in your current findings. 

That aside, the cycling  is pretty radical. Where on (or off) earth can 
this 
be duplicated and what  hurdle, in terms of numbers of cycles must be  
cleared to claim  success? If there are to be components soldered on this, I

would fret  for their future under such conditions.

Best wishes, 
Joe

Hi  Joe,
3 pieces of  AP 8525 - DuPont. Bondply - polyimide adhesive 35  micron,
apical- 12  micron, polyimide adhesive- 15 micron. Cracks start in  the 15
micron  polyimide adhesive- no total failures yet - drill size 10  mils  -
aspect ratio - nothing special. About 200 vias per part.    Thermal - +200c-
-60C as fast as they can cycle the chamber. This is  one  end of the flex -
the other end is a rigid flex - same flex build  then  added 2 layers of
polyimide rigid either side - this end shows  none of the  cracking so I
assume somehow the GI is stopping the  polyimide adhesive from  expanding as
much. Regards  Steve

Hi Steve

Are all vias impacted or just some?  If the  latter, any common  
characteristics? (i.e aspect ratio,  stack up,  location in stack, etc.) For
shared 
edification, what  are the materials  in the set and  what are the cycling  
conditions and requirements? (at  least so we can all  get a  sense of what
kind of 
unreasonable  requirements might be out  there looming  on the horizon) 

Season's  best,  
Joe

Hi  All,

We have a 6 layer flex that my  customer  has to thermal cycle at  
temperatures beyond the rated  Tg's of the  material- the end use 
environment
is  about 
as  bad as it gets.  After repeated thermal cycles we start to see  cracks  
develop in the  glue layer used to bond the adhesiveless  layers together.
Will   
some kind of via fill help this  issue?

Thanks in   advance.

Regards Steve  Kelly
