Hi Ron
Before we opted to high speed paste dispensing as generally cleaner and
more versatile process , I did evaluations of SSD ;
partly the decision to stay on NiAu at this point of the time was
dictated by switch lands on board .
It's also know as PPT [Precision Pad Technology] ; a Mask Technology
Inc. joint project with Ciba .
Therefore :
1
Mask Technology Inc. ( MASKTEK ) , and Christopher Group (sister co) on
:
2601 South Oak St. ; Santa Ana, CA 92707 ; (714) 557-3383 or (714)
979-7500 ; fax (714) 557-6904
ask for Joanne DeBlis or Andrew Holzmann
their second address is :
9665 Tradeport Drive , Orlando; FL 32827 ; (407) 857-1876 ; fax (407)
826-4087
They'll send you the info pack .
Papers in SMI; U.K./PCIF; SMTA - New & Critical Technologies , files
2
IBM (PCMCIA) ; Motorola (satellites) ; etc.
3
Pending your application , a good concept ; only the sticky spray flux
process to mount componentry I found bit unadvanced .
Perhaps you could stencil the flux too .
The voids are non existent in joints , peel is up , mainly high stress
applications .
Check above for more
4
Ron I don't have latest figures , check above again , it's not cheap and
limited to few pcb houses having the planarization equipment .
Check above
5
This is the high point , joint quality gains are reported (peel) 20 -
30% + .
You'll get data in the pack .
Ask for "A Step in the Right Direction - Part II ; from Damian Holzmann
and Tim Fitzgibbons .
Also , check Optipad from SMW Electronik and Sipad from Seimens AG ;
German co's in the same subject .
Mind you , unless you have your application exactly sorted out and
logistics laterally organised , the light in tunnel may turn to the
freight train dilemma .
Let me know how you go .
See you Paul Klasek ; ResMed
