Do you have SEM/EDX photos of this sample/cross section?

What instrument was used to measure the plating?  XRF or SEM

What is base material?

Dwell time from nickel to Au plating?

Hi Mumtaz!



It's been a long while since anybody has asked me to post anything on my webpage, TechNet has been pretty quiet for the last couple of months. I have been pretty quiet myself for awhile. I've had a lot of changes in my life recently.



Anyways, I have your PowerPoint posted, it's here:

Sure looks like "head-in-pillow" to me.



Hope you have a good 2010.



Kind regards,



Steve Gregory

Subject: [TN] NiPdGold Plating Soldering Issues

Date:         Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:56:12 -0800



Hello Technetters,

 

 

We have some SC70 packages with NiPd gold plating that have wetting

issues .

Customer is using Kester R596L tinlead water soluble solder paste

conducting  eutectic reflow at 227C peak and have wetting issues.(first

3 images in PowerPoint).

We have checked plating thickness with our supplier and it meets spec.

EDX did not show any contamination, oxides etc. JEDEC solderability test

passed. 

 

X-section shows some areas of missing nickel or gaps in coverage of base

copper. I need the experts to look at the images and comment if this

could be the root cause of poor wetting and non-wetting.

 

I have forwarded the PowerPoint to Steven Gregory to post on his

website.

 

Your feedback will be much appreciated.

 

Thank-you
