Fine pitch and high lead count devices have moved the industry toward finer lines and smaller holes. Both fabricators and assemblers require new finishing alternatives and new deposition processes. The solderability stakes are extremely high: the multilayer printed wiring board must now provide electronic and mechanical connections for a growing number of more complicated, more expensive components. Final finishes are critical to the successful interconnection between board and package. Mistakes at this point can exact a very high price. How does one choose the right finish? Which metals work with which component types? Where do OSPs fit in? What are the considerations of the manufacturer and assembler? What control procedures keep processes in optimum condition? This CCA education conference will give you a good overview of the options currently available and the progress being made in this extremely important area of PWB technology. Who should attend? This workshop is for anyone involved in PWB manufacturing, especially process engineers and quality control engineers. Assemblers, OEMs and anyone who specifies or inspects PWBs will also gain a lot of valuable information from the program. *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To unsubscribe from this list at any time, send a message to: * * [log in to unmask] with <subject: unsubscribe> and no text. * ***************************************************************************
