Lisa Williams IPC 2215 Sanders Road Northbrook, IL 60062 URL: www.ipc.org >>> Don Vischulis <[log in to unmask]> 05/07/98 09:32PM >>> John: This is a subject that IPC has avoided. The last specification that I can remember was in the +/-0.020" area, which is not adequate for today's designs. You must decide what you want for your legend. Conventional, screened legend can maintain somewhere between +/-0.015 to 0.010 inch (optimum conditions). If you are willing to pay for LPI legend, you should experience +/-0.005". The real question is why do you need tight registration tolerances? Automated assembly equipment doesn't use legend to assemble the boards, and once the parts are on the boards most modern designs can't be read. IMO, legends on modern designs should only be used for warnings, assembly identification, test points, and similar designations. Assembly drawings (scaled larger than 1:1) should be used for component identification.

Alot of this is dependent on the resist you are attempting to strip and the thickness, also is it inner or outers (Outerlayer films are much more difficult to strip and also more expensive.) Machine around $250K-300K footprint 3.5'x15' Stripper cost (depending on volume) expect to pay anywhere from $8/gallon to $15/gallon as I said before this is dependent on the film you are looking at. Waste treatment costs will depend on your requirements. It could be expensive if you have a low COD limit. Make sure your equipment has a good filtration system and you should be able to remove a large percentage of the skins from solution.

Is it properly cured? Try a littke longer on the post cure or extend the UV bump. Also, some masks are more prone to solderballs than others. John Waite covered many of the other causes very well.

I agree that a good coupon does not necessarily mean a good PCB because there are many other important parameters which can only be checked on the PCB itself. However, I consider they are very important because we do a whole raft of tests which are not specific to the PCB design but to the process. These include daily sections checking for side to side and through hole distribution from our direct plate and pattern plate processes, and these sections include test pieces which have been soldered and thermal shocked. There are solderability tests before and after accelerated ageing, and a severe test of thermal shock for 5 or 10 cycles to test integrity of inner layer connections looking at change in resistance through a series of interconnects. There are also controlled impedance traces to test consistency across the batch, and a contamination test coupon which has to be put in a humidity chamber with constant voltage applied looking for breakdown in resistance over 21 days. These tests could not be carried out on samples from the variety of PCB's being processed day to day because they require a standard design for function and comparison. Plating thickness must be checked on the PCB's because coupons on the edge of the panel will have higher readings than coupons at the centre of the panel and the important consideration is the max and min values which have to be measured with a gauge non-destructively. X-Ray inspection of registration, AOI of circuit patterns, final Electrical Test, and hole size and dimensional checks are all carried out on the PCB itself to determine quality, not on coupons. I like to define the Quality Assurance laboratory as checking the process quality with coupons sampled from each days production, and production inspection operations checking the PCB quality of each and every batch. This division of responsibility is important to keep clear. On the original question about placement of coupons, I see no reason for the scrap biscuit panel border not to be used for positioning coupons which could then be used by the customer for pre-production tests. However, I would question the economics of having so much scrap in a biscuit panel and try to persuade them to reduce their borders as much as possible. I have seen some incredibly wasteful biscuit panels because the customer wanted to have a standard panel regardless of the shape and size of the individual pcb. Basically, the cost per panel square inch is pretty much the same for a process whether it has a pcb on it or is scrap material so keep it tight as possible. Big bare laminate borders are also bad news for plating distribution over the panel.

First, an easy part of of the question, about rinse water. It turns out that resist strippers pickup Copper during stripping, and in most, but not all, cases, it tops out at around 250 PPM. With a stripper containing 250 PPM of Copper, the rinse waters are going to have more than an allowable level of Copper, thus they must be waste treated, and this is expensive, especially since the strippers are usually chelated. Some stripper chemistry vendors are getting around this matter by using feed and bleed, and feeding enough stripper chemistry through the system to keep the Copper levels down, thus keeping the rinse waters legal to dump. This is simply a keep-the- --stripper-chemistry-rich concept, but there are some folks who buy into it. It is possible, by using the proper inhibitors in the stripper chemistry, to keep the Copper levels down to less than 50 PPM, no matter how deeply you go into the chemistry, but of course, I am too modest to tell you those suppliers that can supply this kind of chemistry. Now about actual stripping costs. First, understand that because of overplating issues, the outerlayer strippers have to be real high performance, compared to innerlayer strippers, and this high performance can cost a whole lot, or not so much more, depending on the chemistry in the stripper. To be specific, the cost of stripping can vary from a low of around US$0.006 per square foot (and this is for a fully formulated proprietary stripper) to as high as US$0.12 per square foot, for folks using really badly formulated strippers in a feed and bleed mode. Some facts to remember about costs of stripping: 1.) The faster you want to strip at, the higher the cost of stripping, this means that the longer the strip chemistry is in contact with the resist, the deeper into the chemistry you can go. Thus the longer the strip chamber, the lower the chemistry costs, because the longer the chamber, the longer the time the chemistry is in contact with the resist, for a given throughput. 2.) The higher the temperature you strip at, the faster the stripping, thus, this really means that the higher the temperature you strip at, the lower the cost, as long as the stripper does not tarnish the Copper because it is being used so hot. 3.) The issue of tarnishing the Copper is crucial, especially in the innerlayer line, as in the US, most innerlayers go to AOI after stripping, and for most AOI, any tarnish slows the AOI dramatically. This is so important, that some people throw out stripper chemistry when it starts to tarnish. And the propensity to tarnish increases as the Copper level in the stripper increases, unless you have a properly designed anti-tarnish system in the stripper chemistry. 4.) Feed and Bleed generally increases the cost of stripping by a factor of 2+, because good chemistry is thrown out with the bad. I think that I have given you more than you asked for, but if you have further questions, get back in touch.

We used FFT Analyzer made by AFK Condition Monitoring System. We checked the vibration level on a work table of a drill machine. It was around 0.5 to 2.5 micron meters when the machine and the surrounding ones were off, and it was around 3.5 to 7 micron meters in plane direction and 1.5 to 3 micron meters in Z direction when all the machine were running. However I am not sure whether the vibration level observed is to be improved or not. Please do advise me on the recommended maximum level of vibration for small hole drilling.

To my opinion , there is basic difference between stripping photoresist used as etch resist and used as plating resist : 1 ) etch resist : photoresist is above surface of the copper . Quality of the copper depends not only on stripping chemistry , but also on quality of the copper under the photoresist ( e.g. - if photorists is laminated on oxidised copper , with the best stripper the copper after striping will be oxidised ) . A lot depends on rinse water quality and efficiency of the dryer . 2 ) plate resist . In most of the cases the problem are related to oveplating and to potential damage to etch resist ( tin or tin lead ) . The spent stripper is contaminated by tin or tin-lead . Decision regarding feed and bleed or batch-wise operation depends not only on the direct costs of the chemistry but on process considerations : feed and bleed is steady state process ( constant operation parameters ) while in batch wise mode operation parameters must be adjusted as the chemistry is loaded . For plate resist stripping oxidation is also crucial for the next process , which is normally alkaline etching . Regarding costs considerations : Apart of the choise of mode of operation , stripping machine is of the most importance , especially skin removal capacity .This is important for propertiary strippers : if chemistry is working on dissolution of removed skin instead on stripping , this is the best way to loose money .

If you forget to read a couple of days worth of papers, it can overwhelming to try and read all the papers to catch up. It is funny though, the kinds of messages that seem to be popping up on the 'net. The latest ones about the excess space in the pots and pans factory, someone looking for seal-a-meal boilable replacement bags etc. just makes for some fun reading at times. I think you just need to come up with a way to blow through a whole list of articles by just deleting the messages based on what the "Subject;" reads. I would not want the Technet to sort the messages for me. I can do that myself !

I've heard many numbers thrown around and had difficulty getting a straight answer. Your outline was very informative and gave me a better understanding of the whole picture. I was especially surprised at the level of Cu. I always thought it was less than that. I did however had a question about tin/tinlead. I was under the assumption (not THAT word!!) that some tin/tinlead was also removed and in turn generated a potential for a Hazardous material. Where is the industry on this situation?

I=0Afor one don't want to see anything changed with the way the forum= is now, it's=0Abeen in this format for years and I think does the job we= ll. I'm suprized that I do see people wanting to change the format,=0Aes= pecially since how one gets their messages is all up to the individual. I think sometimes people forget that this list is nothing but a dumb comp= uter=0Aprogram (but it IS moderated), and all you have to do is modify ho= w you want=0Athe dumb computer to send your messages to you. I don't know= how many people=0Aactually keep the FAQ that is sent when you subscribe,= but all the commands=0Aare there to set-up how you want your messages se= nt...and yes, there is a way=0Ato set-up things so that your mailbox hasn= 't overwhelmed your hard-drive when=0Ayou go on vacation, it takes all of= 30-seconds to do. I'll post the commands from the FAQ for those that may have trashed them.= You=0Acan get this same list by sending a message to [log in to unmask] In the body of the message type: FAQ -Steve Gregory- Administering your subscription status: All commands (such as subscribe and signoff) must be sent to [log in to unmask] . You must never try to send any command to mail forum= =0Aaddress (i.e. [log in to unmask]), as it will be distributed to all the= =0Asubscribers. Also, please note that no other text, such as electronic signature, etc.,= =0Ashould be present in the messages to [log in to unmask] If your email p= rogram=0Aautomatically appends your signature to the message, please remo= ve it. Example for subscribing: TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT:=A0 MESSAGE:subscribe TechNet Joseph H. Smith Example for signing off: TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT:=A0 MESSAGE:signoff TechNet NOTE: You must send messages to the forum address ONLY from the e-mail ad= dress=0Ato which you want to apply changes. In other words, if you want t= o sign off=0Athe mail list, you must send the SIGNOFF command from the ad= dress that you=0Awant removed from the forum. Additional Commands: SET <forum name> <option> Command enables/disables a specified option. EXAMPLE:=A0 TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT:=A0 MESSAGE:SET TechNet nomail Please note that the commands, addresses and forum names are not case=0As= ensitive, and you can send as many commands as you need in one message as= =0Along as they are on separate lines. The available options are as follows: =A0 Query=A0 This command returns your subscriber options. To be executed correctly, t= he=0Amessage must be sent from the address about which you are making a q= uery. The syntax is: QUERY <forum name> Also, wildcards are supported. For example, sending a command QUERY * will return a list of all forums to which you are subscribed, with all=0A= subscriber options for these forums. Mail/Nomail=A0 Setting the NOMail option stops mail from the forum to you, but leaves yo= u=0Asubscribed to the list. NOMail is often used by subscribers who are l= eaving=0Athe office for vacation or an extended business trip, and do not= want a full=0Amailbox when they return. Setting the Mail option is the complementary command that restarts mail= =0Adelivery from the forum to you. It does not alter the Digest/Index nor= mal=0Adelivery settings (see below). For example, to temporarily disable mail delivery from TechNet to your=0A= address, send the following command: SET TechNet NOMAIL Please note, if you use an auto-responder while on vacation without setti= ng=0Ayour subscription options to NOMail, your "vacation" messages may bo= unce back=0Ato the mail list and you may be "served off" from the forum w= hen you return.=0AThis is because the server will be unable to process th= e message from your=0Aauto-responder and will consider it an error. Being= "served off" simply means=0Athat any commands you send to mail list will= be ignored until the forum=0Aadministrator restores your normal status. Digest/Nodigest Setting the Digest option causes the subscriber to receive one e-mail pos= ting=0Aper digest cycle (typically daily) rather than individual messages= as they are=0Aprocessed by the mail list. Digest negates Index delivery = mode, enables mail=0Adelivery. Setting the NODigest option causes individual messages to be sent to the= =0Asubscriber. For example, to start receiving the TechNet messages in digest form, send= a=0Afollowing command: SET TechNet DIGEST Index/Noindex=A0 Setting the Index option causes the subscriber to receive one posting per= =0Adigest cycle, containing only an index of subject topics for all messa= ges=0Aduring that cycle. Instructions on how to retrieve the individual p= ostings are=0Aincluded with the index. Index negates Digest delivery mode= and enables mail=0Adelivery. Setting the NOIndex option causes individual messages to be sent to the= =0Asubscriber. For example, to start receiving TechNet messages in index form, send the= =0Afollowing command: SET TechNet INDEX Search This command allows you to search a database of all previous postings to = the=0Aspecified forum. The syntax is: SEARCH <search string> IN <forum name> For example, to search TechNet for gold plating, send the following comma= nd: SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet Adding SINCE <date> after the forum name will impose the time constraints= on=0Ayour search, i.e., command SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet SINCE 97/01/01 will search all postings since January 1'st 1997. ACK/NOACK =A0 When you send a message, the server responds with a confirmation message,= =0Asaying that "your message was delivered to the forum, etc.", but, by d= efault,=0Athe copy of your message is NOT sent to you. In other words, wh= en you send a=0Amessage to the forum, you do not receive it back as a pos= ting. However, you=0Acan change this default for yourself by setting foll= owing options: ACK - A short confirmation message is sent to the sender of the posting= =0A(default) NOACK - No posting acknowledgment is sent Repro/NORepro=A0 REPRO - You receive a copy of your own postings NOREPRO - You do not receive a copy of your own postings For example, to receive both confirmation of the posting and the posting= =0Aitself for your TechNet submission, send a command: SET TECHNET REPRO To receive only your posting but not the posting acknowledgment: SET TECHNET NOACK SET TECHNET REPRO THANKS =A0 You can send this command to see if the server is alive, and the messages= to=0Aand from the server are delivered normally. The server politely res= ponds,=0A"You're welcome!". More features and functionality will be added later. PLEASE NOTE: All of the commands, except your name under the "subscribe"= =0Acommand, are NOT case sensitive; feel free to type them as you wish. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Please resend any information to me too. I think that I could use it in my XRF applications . But, what do you think about the problem of different suppliers with different bath formulations and processes? Bye, Gaby Gaby I only received two responses. One response was from a chemical supplier who did not supply any information other than urging caution with interpreting values I would receive. The other response was from an old friend in the plating chemistry field. He supplied the values of 17.5 g/cc for the hard gold plate and 19.3 g/cc for the pure gold (i.e. immersion and soft gold plate). The purpose for my question was to obtain data to get a baseline for help in determining the correct gold thickness for a special board I'm designing which will have gold for multiple purposes (connector contact AND solderable). If you recall a rather lengthy post I made on the subject of gold and gold thickness, I forgot to mention an item that had a major impact on thickness. I called this item "density correction". I remember measuring gold thickness by beta backscatter and XRF techniques and had noticed (via hi mag SEM) that we always were plating more gold than that reported by these techniques. The funny thing is that it was always off by a constant value! It turned out that the constant was the ratio of the gold density of the calibration standard (pure gold at 19.3 g/cc) to the density of the "as plated" deposit (hard gold at approx. 17 g/cc). At that time it was difficult to obtain calibration standards prepared from "as plated" deposits as a solution to this issue, so we merely applied the correction factor to the readings. I'm sure that things are radically different today with the more modern equipment and calibration techniques. To your second question. In my own opinion (and I could be wrong) I don't think the variation in plating density between board shops will be significant enough to worry about. I would be more concerned with deposit thickness AND quality.

These are the most common UL parameters from our supply base. I believe with some laminate formulations it is possible for the laminate to get higher ratings but it is the value that the board shop receives that is important to the end user. Also keep in mind that no matter what, even at 105C the resin system will oxidize and become severely discolored after awhile in the field.

We've used a helium leak detector.. A good technician spent an hour checking the tube and pretty well pinpointed the leak - it's through a soft soldered joint. We're fairly sure it's not outgassing, the needle on the vac-ion pump goes up 15 seconds after we pass the probe over the suspected leak area. We're not sure whether it's a porosity problem, an adhesion problem or even a leakage through the cold rolled steel. This tube has always been produced before with no problems of this type. That's what makes this leak puzzling. Right now I'm wondering if it's an adhesion problem, and if I could heat up the joint inside of a bell jar (in vacuum) to get the adhesion voids to bubble out. All input welcome. Thanks, Sam >Have you ruled out the possibility of it being outgassing, rather than a >real leak?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My vote is to leave it as it is also. But, if you really want something to consider, I'm on another listserver that has taken care of this type of thing. They offer two options. One is called "non-Digest format" where each email to the group is forwarded out as a single post. The other is called "Digest format" where a certain number of emails get grouped together and sent out as one email to the group. They have maybe 100 people as subscribers. Here on TechNet we have approx 1,400 members. Our good people at IPC taking care of all this are already a little overworked. In other words, one post a day produces 1,400 copies. 40 posts a day produces over 56,000 copies a day. That's 2,300 copies an hour. Keep in mind that adding additional operations for filtering emails means additional cpu time which means a slowing down for us. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

SIDNEY COX (919) 248-5024" <[log in to unmask]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Mr. McGregor: I would like to submit a rebuttal and supporting data regarding the benefits and cost of "feed and bleed" maintenence of the resist stripping process, as they pertain to your questions D. and F.. STRIPPING The "feed and bleed" mode of operation can be applied to both proprietary and caustic chemistries. Based upon the dry film employed, it is possible to measure, relatively accurately, the volume of chemistry consumed per square foot of dry film being stripped. Once determined, the stripper chemistry and the proper volume of water to dilute the chemistry to within the operating range, can be added based upon panel count. We have had success making frequent, low volume additions of diluted resist stripper chemistry, on the order of 0.5 gallons of diluted chemistry (stripper at 5% v/v in water) every 20 - 25 panels. And I am assuming 18" x 24" panels with 70% resist coverage at this rate of addition. This type of feed and bleed system has been in use for more than 3 years and successfully implemented with DuPONTS TM and PM series, ENTERECS 7200 series, and DYNACHEMS HG, GA, FL, and AX series. (I am sure others have found "feed and bleed" processing applicable to other films as well.) Similar to operating developer on an automated "feed and bleed" basis, there are several advantages including: a) consistant speed of processing while maintaining stripping performance; b) reduced batch dump frequency and heat-up times; and c) simplified waste treatment. I will cite specific examples to clarify. 1. DYNACHEM FL, 1.3 mil - conveyor length, 8 feet - speed 51 ipm - breakpoint 40% - dump frequency, once per month - surface square feet processed between dumps, @144,000 - COST (assuming 70% resist coverage) $0.0118/square foot 2. DuPONT PM Series - conveyor length, 6 feet - speed, 34 ipm - breakpoint, 50% - dump frequency, once per month - square feet processed between dumps, @112,000 - cost (assuming 70% resist coverage), $0.141/square foot 3. DYNACHEM GA - conveyor length, 8 feet - speed, 60 ipm - breakpoint, 55% - dump frequency, once/two weeks - square feet processed between dumps, @96,000 - cost (assuming 65% resist coverage) $0.0124 Each of the above systems employed continuous resist particulate filtration during processing. Filtration is required to successfully employ "feed and bleed" processing and is the MAIN FACTOR in lowering the operating cost of stripping, and is also the primary factor driving the frequency of dumping. Additionally, the copper concentration of the resist stripper "bleed" was measured in each of the above systems and never exceeded 14 mg/L. We have also assited in the installtion of "feed and bleed" stripping employing 50% w/w sodium hydroxide employed at 1.2 - 2% by volume. As previously addressed in other responses, it was necessary to address copper oxidation when stripping sodium hydroxide. While I do not have the exact operating costs of this system, it was obviously less expensive than using a proprietary stripper, as 50% w/w sodium hydroxide is about $2.00 gallon. However, when employing caustic the rates of addition must be increased. WASTE TREATMENT All of the proprietary strippers I am aware of contain monoethanolamine (MEA) as a component. This material is defined as a complexing agent (containing a single donor atom - "monodentate ligand") versus a chelating agent (containing more than one donor atom - "polydentate ligand" such as EDTA which contains 6 donor atoms). It is inherently easier to waste treat complexing agents because they typically form weaker bonds with metal ions. Depending upon regulatory requirements, the bleed from a feed and bleed system can often be treated by primary pH adjust. Factors determining if this is an applicable waste treatment method included COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and copper regulatory levels in your waste stream. Depending upon the gpm of effluent one generates, it is possible to determine if the bleed can be treated solely by pH adjust. If it is necessary to treat the bleed separately, it is often possible to combine this effluent with other alkaline wastewater streams due to the low volume periodically generated. I am aware of one situation where the bleed is combined with high copper (greater than 10 mg/L) rinse water effluent and treated by membrane ultra-filtration. Because the resist particulate is dosed into the system at low levels, the resist particulate does not appear to adversely affect the holding capacity or life of the filter. I apologize for the long winded reply. Yet, because most pcb manufacturers have unique and different requirements for resist stripping, it is difficult to cover all possibilities. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

First check to see if the lamination pressure has been cranked up. It has been while, so I don't remember the recommended pressure settings, but you resist rep. should have that number. If you have white rings around the holes after lamination, this is an indicator the lamination could be contributing to the problem. Additionally, check how long it has been since you recoated the rollers. With that said, you need to look at the quality of the spray inside the developer. If you have a Chemcut (with oscillation) then make sure the cone nozzles all have the spinners inside so they don't shoot. If you have a ASI (non-oscillating) then it is critical that the fan nozzles are clean and are producing the correct angle of spray. For either type of equipment, be sure the nozzles are clean, sized correctly (all the same flow rate), and do not show wear. Additionally, if the equipment has a build-up of photo scum, it can retard the spray angles, so be sure the equipment is cleaned regularly. For all equipment a range of 25-30 psi should be plenty of pressure. High temp. or/and high concentration can add to the problem.

The root cause is definitely due to handling. The crystal/oscillator is a fragile component. It can get damaged even in tube. The crystal will crack when drop from a distance of 5 inches to a hard surface. My recommendation is to transport these crystal parts in a foam pads , not in tube and definitely not in bag. And lastly, all operators from shipping, stockroom, hand load, and PC need to be awared of handling issue of the crystals/oscillators. I hope this helps!

Usually, a board shop does not automatically send a solderability sample unless requested. I would find this out first. As far as who "owns" the solderability processing, I would say that your assembly shop should process it if they requested it. The sample sent from the PWB manufacturer is a "scrap" or "extra" (Alright you board guys, quit your chuckling) piece from the lot that was built (should be of the same date code). The reason it was sent is as a first article inspection tool by the assembly operation. In the event that they wanted to profile their operation, check solderability, or as a non costed piece for destructive testing, etc. It would do no good for the board manufacturer to process the board at their facility since it may not be representative of the assembly operation (flux, solder line, etc.) I agree with your assembly vendor that all boards should be solderable, but being a board manufacturer (in my past, honest life), Many accounts placed such a requirement on us for many reasons. If your assembly house does not want the sample, a discussion should take place with the board vendor and delete this requirement. I think that If you talked with both parties, you would find out why and if this sample is necessary.

Conclusion seem to be 'too much too read - but leave it as it is anyway' I might would participate more (and delete less) with more messages related to my interest/knowledge. I really like to help - but once you are in the 'delete mode' most messages go without reading. ...but on the other hand a very precise header/subject helps a lot too. I will keep that in mind. I think IPC should consider ADDITIONAL mailing lists for certain sub interests which are very specialized. I.e. I guess CAD is mainly read by designers and pre production people.... Don't get me wrong - it's good to have a 'technet' in the first place and I got some very good responses to some very technical question.

Or better yet, visit the website of UltraCAD Design Inc, <http:\\ultracad.com>, Doug Brooks has done an excellent job in developing and making available a model for calculating the conductor cross-sectional area requirements for limiting the thermal rise above ambient. These models will replicate the above referenced IPC charts and have been extended (by some addition referenced technical papers) or get ahold of the latest copy of Printed Circuits Design magazine, his technical paper and model is in his column. The other concern you've got is voltage, simply stated, you can use the IPC design conductor spacing tables ---- but I suspect for the above application they may not be suitable. This is because the voltage 220 & 120 Vac are electrical "primary power", and are subject to regulatory requirements (UL, CSA, VDE, IEC, etc) and they have different conductor spacing requirements for "exposed" conductor spacing. In the USA, 220 and 120 Vac are the same voltage with respect to neutral and ground (120 Vac). As I recall, for USA the requirement was 1.5 kV + twice the applied voltage (1.5 + 2 * 120) or 1750 Vac test voltage and spacing. If you want/need, I can dig in my files and come up with the spec. requirements. I seem to recall the Eurpoean requirements were like about 2.5 kV. Hope this helps, if you need more info.

I believe that in today's work environment, we can't limit our focus to only one or two areas of technology. If a person is a designer, there is more to it than generating product definition data; if a printed board manufacturer some knowledge of design, materials and assembly is needed; and if a printed board assembler, all down- and up-stream information/requirements will aid in assembing a better product. I believe the reason technet is so successful is because we've got a bunch of people willing to freely share and cross-pollinate us with information in all of our inter-related disciplines, such as materials, design, manufacturing, assembly, test, reliability, to identify a few. Yes, it is a lot of stuff to read or delete, but some of it (even the subject titles) may "rub-off" in our personal memory data file; and someday, you may be able to say, "Ah!!! yes, I seem to remember something about this sometime ago on technet" Ralph Ralph Hersey & Associates 3885 Mills Way Livermore, CA 94550-3319 PHN/FAX: 925.454.9805 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Our suppliers tell us this is commonly available at similar cost, and Tg is one of the best ways to specify epoxy glass boards these days - after all, not all epoxy glass is FR4. We would not want to design 120C/125C Tg epoxy glass for anything over 110C operating temp. Hope this helps, Clive ffitch MBUK Stevenage, England ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

EPC is = committied to offering an event that not only tells you about the = industry, not only shows you what is going on in the industry but = also asks your opinion on the industry and asks you to take part in = shaping the future of the industry. By providing innovative workshops with well respected and skilled = chairpersons, EPC will be an event that not only reflects the = industry but also affects the industry. The only way to ensure that = you do not miss the opportunity to be heard, is to take part in the = workshops provided in Wiesbaden this year. Subject matters will = again be drawn from technology, commerce and management with many = subjects ripped open and dissected in detail amongst the people who = will bring the future closer to the present. ------------------------------ PRESS RELEASES = ----------------------------------- Press Releases - 5th May 98 1. EPC 98 - A sell out exhibition At the end of April 1998 EFIP (European Federation for Interconnect = and Packaging) was pleased to announce that demand for exhibition = space at Wiesbaden has been considerable and the show is now sold = out. This years inaugural European PCB Convention (EPC 98) has over = 6000 square metres of stand space and following a couple of months of = concentrated effort the halls are now full and the show is assured of = success. The European PCB Convention will occupy five halls at the Rhein Main = Hallen in Wiesbaden Germany. As the primary European event in the = PCB industry in 98, it will prove an essential choice for any = professional keen to keep in touch with developments in this fast = moving market. As well as the ability to see Europe=B9s industry gathered in one = spot and the clear networking opportunity that will present, EPC will = have a three day conference programme and workshops that will allow = delegates to gain an insight into the technological and business = developments driving the industry today. EPC will be at the Rhein Main Hallen in Wiesbaden, Germany from = September 29th to October 1st. To receive more information contact = the Event Manager, Philip Stoten.

I have been having problems getting my CMI unit to read copper thickness consistently. It has typically been reading low. For instance, the meter will show .0005 to .0006 of copper on a standard .042 thru hole but a section of the same hole shows .0012. The meter reads fine to the provided standard. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

The data should indicate whether these parameters are accepable. ------------- Original Text From: C=US/A=INTERNET/DDA=ID/geezer(a)tc.fluke.com, on 5/11/98 3:39 PM: TechNet, I am currently inspecting solder paste deposits using a 3D inspection system. I am in the process of setting control limits for the boards, but I have had conflicting inputs. I have recently heard that deposits should be 20% of target for warning limits and 40% of target for failure limits. Should the target be the size of the aperture or should it be less? Is there an industry standard on paste deposit parameters? Thanks for any input you can provide.

Conclusion seem to be 'too much too read - but leave it as it is anyway' I might would participate more (and delete less) with more messages related to my interest/knowledge. I really like to help - but once you are in the 'delete mode' most messages go without reading. ...but on the other hand a very precise header/subject helps a lot too. I will keep that in mind. I think IPC should consider ADDITIONAL mailing lists for certain sub interests which are very specialized. I.e. I guess CAD is mainly read by designers and pre production people.... Don't get me wrong - it's good to have a 'technet' in the first place and I got some very good responses to some very technical question.

I also find that proper nozzle maintenance is essential to make sure streams are not formed from worn or abused nozzles. I alway recommend to switch to full cone nozzles in developing and rinse, whenever possible, to reduce the pressure per surface sq in of developed area. Even though cones may produce the same pressure in the manifold as does fans, there is a difference on the actual resist surface.

If you know which end of the package the crystal is in, leave that edge alone; grind the other three. Once you just start to break through, use a new X-acto, with minimum penetration of the blade into the case, to pry and slice open the unit. Fold back the lid along the unground edge, and use it to hold the part. If you watch your grinding speed, and don't use water, you won't introduce any foreign matter into the package, or damage the crystal. Once you're inside, you can examine the crystal under a normal 30X microscope and check for cracks and chips in the crystal. Sometimes, the conductive epoxy used to cement them to the spring mounts, fills the mounts - making them solid, which makes the part very vulnerable to shock damage. Sometimes they're built just fine and as Tuan says below, they're just too roughly handled. I've also seen solder shorts, unsoldered pins, etc., which were manufacturing defects. This delidding technique works well; I've done it many times. Try it out first on a few parts that you don't care much about before going after one you want to seriously investigate. Careful of the sharp edges on the lid & package.

The root cause is definitely due to handling. The crystal/oscillator is a fragile component. It can get damaged even in tube. The crystal will crack when drop from a distance of 5 inches to a hard surface. My recommendation is to transport these crystal parts in a foam pads , not in tube and definitely not in bag. And lastly, all operators from shipping, stockroom, hand load, and PC need to be awared of handling issue of the crystals/oscillators. I hope this helps!

First of all, you must identify if the separation is occurring between the electroless copper and the post or the electroplated copper and the electroless copper. In case one, some possible causes could be: 1. If the rinse following your cleaner on the electroless line is not adequate, you can carry surfactants into your micro-etch creating a micro-polish. The polished surface of the interlayer post can not offer the mechanical interlock of a micr-etched post. When thermal cycling a PCB, depending on the cure level of the laminate, you will introduce Z-axis expansion. In the case of under-cured "green" laminate, Z-axis expansion can be excessive. Thus, introducing increased stress on the interfacial bond. 2. If the aspect ratio is high for the holes that are experiencing interfacial separation, there may not be adequate turbulence in the process baths for the chemicals/rinses to do their jobs. Make sure there is good mechanical agitation and the rinses are arranged to create a vortex flow in the tank. If you are employing counter-flow rinses, from my experience, the industry standard for flow is 2-3 gallons per minute. 3. Depending on the mechanism used for electroless copper bonding, the "catalyst" for the system may not be performing properly. Check chemical concentrations and bath lifes. In case 2: 1. From my experience, the main cause for post separation where electrolytic copper separates from the electroless is high organic levels in the acid copper bath. Check for total organic content. Contact your chemical vendor for recommended organic levels. From memory, I believe anything above 1000 ppm can cause problems. If this is the case, organics can easily be removed by "carbon treating". There are other possibilities, but I think I covered the main ones. I hope this helps, Joel Fillion Process Engineer Matsushita Electronic Materials At 10:43 AM 5/12/98 -0400, Richard W.

Additionally, all eight of our forums offer THREE methods of subscribing and receiving the information. The standard way is to receive each posting as a separate message. 1st alternate is to receive a Digest msg; a single msg generated by the list server every time it has accumulated 1,000 lines of text from postings. You can't review the subject lines without scrolling through the whole msg though. (1,000 lines is the low side of message size limit for MOST e-mail systems, but there are SOME companies, free and smaller service providers that have tighter limits. The Digest method won't work in that case because content will be truncated [cut off].) 2nd alternate is to receive a daily digest method with only the subject lines. If the user wants to see something, they have to have to able to access the IPC web site through any browser and pull the message from the archives. This method won't work if you can't access the world wide web for whatever reason. Our web site has information on subscribing in these alternate methods. If you can't access the www, e-mail to me directly OFFNET for additional info. Steve Gregory posted a message yesterday that also provides the info (Thanks, Steve.) The MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR USERS IS TO PUT A PROPERLY DESCRIPTIVE SUBJECT LINE ON THEIR MESSAGE. "Need Help" doesn't say much and the msg probably won't be read by everyone. "Need help w/inert wave process" will get you lots of support from our great troup of supporters. We are proposing having a "Legends of the Technet" at the IPC/SMTA Electronics Assembly Expo in Providence RI this October. This will probably be done in a "panel" format like we did the first time. We'll be inviting some of the regular (verbose?) technet posters/supporters to sit on the panel. Anyone interested reply back to me OFFNET. (Electronics Assembly Expo replaces the IPCWorks fall technical committee meetings/conference and the SMTA Technology In The Park conference and will include assembly related exhibits.

We're making one sided ceramic substrates. The substrates are both low temperature cofired ceramic and thick film copper. Both have a 63/37 solder coating on the tracks. The substrates have passed solderability testing with ease. The pads have been designed appropriately to minimize tombstoning. Our components are solderable. We stencil print solder paste onto the substrates. A robot places the components. Reflow soldering happens in a Nitrogen convection oven. We are using RMA solder paste (still!) Now for the question. Why do we get unsoldered connections? Most are chip components where one end solders beautifully, the other end is sitting on a rounded mound of solder. The distribution across the substrate and from one substrate to the next appears to be random. To detect unsoldered connections, we are doing the old brute force method of having manufacturing personnel looking for them after reflow. What are other folks out there doing to: 1. Solve the unsoldered connection problem 2. Detect the unsoldered connections Thank you, Kathie Lambert Process Engineer Northrop Grumman Baltimore, MD [log in to unmask] ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

We found that on average the unit reads 0.3 mils lower than the microsection thickness as the panels come off the line. However, if the same holes are measured a day later, the unit measures very close to the true thickness. Right or wrong we have attributed this effect to the room temp annealing process that changes the crystal structure of electrodeposited copper. We assumed that the resistance changes slightly when the crystal structure changes and thereby changes the CMI readings. When we "calibrate" we adjust the unit to add 0.3 mil to the reading. Other observations with our unit: We created special "CMI coupons" on our multilayer panels that have no internal pads. We felt that the copper added by varying numbers of internal layers and varying copper weights of those layers produced erratic readings (i.e. the CMI unit would get much different readings on a 42 mil hole, 62 mil thick, 10 layer M/L w/ 2 oz. copper internal pads, vs. a 42 mil, 62 mil thick, 4 layer M/L with 1 oz. internal pads provided they were plated with the same amount of copper. I realize that it would be better to measure the parts, but it is more important to get a number can be trusted. Also readings on panels less than 40-45 mils thick become highly dependent on the parameters entered, whereas panels above this are more insensitive to them. Ed, you didn't state how thick the panels were that you were measuring. Also I wasn't sure if you meant the errors you were getting have been happening all along or it was a recent problem.

I have been having problems getting my CMI unit to read = copper thickness consistently. It has typically been reading low. For = instance, the meter will show .0005 to .0006 of copper on a standard = .042 thru hole but a section of the same hole shows .0012. The meter = reads fine to the provided standard. Has anyone else experienced this = problem. I should note that the meter was just calibrated a few weeks = ago so calibration should not be an issue.

We do see some drift (on the order of 0.03 mils typically but sometimes as much as 0.010 mils) and therefore we calibrate our PTX-200 unit every shift. Sources of deviation: 1. There is a setting on the unit to compensate for different copper thicknesses, but these only affect the reading by perhaps 0.05 mil. 2. Cold temperature can decrease the reading by roughly 0.15 mils. 3. The large inaccuracy you're talking about would make me suspect the cross section technique. Is this done in-house? If so, a sample submitted to a testing lab might show that the problem isn't with the CMI at all, but with the cross section technique.

I have very limited experience with a handheld unit, but we used to have a CMI x-ray fluorescence benchtop unit for measuring metal thicknesses. Most of our errors used to be due to what (copper, no copper) was in the layers underneath the area that we were measuring. We had to be fairly specific where a measurement was taking place. We also would see errors due to metal density fluctuations. Are you sure that the copper isn't smearing during the cross-sectioning process? Is it nickel gold plated? Do you etch the copper after polishing? The differences that you are seeing seem to be large for smearing, but I thought I would ask. As an aside, one of the responses mentioned room-temperature annealing of copper. At a past employer, this was mentioned quite a few times as well. Does copper really anneal at room temperature? I was always taught that annealing was an elevated temperature operation (deformed, stressed grains are consumed and regrown). As a rule of thumb, recrystallization occurs at 0.3 to 0.5 times the melting point of the material (on the order of 325 - 525 C for copper). There was a process called "Recovery" in my textbooks which occurs from room temperature to ~300 C for copper. It involves the annihilation of dislocations, reducing the internal stresses. Is this what's causing the shift in electrical properties? I didn't mean to veer from the original question, but this room temperature annealing thing has been bothering me for some time. Can anyone explain the phenomenon? I haven't been much help to Ed, but maybe I can learn something. Dave Anderson Medtronic, Inc. Reply separator------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi all, Just a question. I have been having problems getting my CMI unit to read = copper thickness consistently. It has typically been reading low. For = instance, the meter will show .0005 to .0006 of copper on a standard = .042 thru hole but a section of the same hole shows .0012. The meter = reads fine to the provided standard. Has anyone else experienced this = problem. I should note that the meter was just calibrated a few weeks = ago so calibration should not be an issue.

First of all, you must identify if the separation is occurring between the electroless copper and the post or the electroplated copper and the electroless copper. In case one, some possible causes could be: 1. If the rinse following your cleaner on the electroless line is not adequate, you can carry surfactants into your micro-etch creating a micro-polish. The polished surface of the interlayer post can not offer the mechanical interlock of a micr-etched post. When thermal cycling a PCB, depending on the cure level of the laminate, you will introduce Z-axis expansion. In the case of under-cured "green" laminate, Z-axis expansion can be excessive. Thus, introducing increased stress on the interfacial bond. 2. If the aspect ratio is high for the holes that are experiencing interfacial separation, there may not be adequate turbulence in the process baths for the chemicals/rinses to do their jobs. Make sure there is good mechanical agitation and the rinses are arranged to create a vortex flow in the tank. If you are employing counter-flow rinses, from my experience, the industry standard for flow is 2-3 gallons per minute. 3. Depending on the mechanism used for electroless copper bonding, the "catalyst" for the system may not be performing properly. Check chemical concentrations and bath lifes. In case 2: 1. From my experience, the main cause for post separation where electrolytic copper separates from the electroless is high organic levels in the acid copper bath. Check for total organic content. Contact your chemical vendor for recommended organic levels. From memory, I believe anything above 1000 ppm can cause problems. If this is the case, organics can easily be removed by "carbon treating". There are other possibilities, but I think I covered the main ones. I hope this helps, Joel Fillion Process Engineer Matsushita Electronic Materials At 10:43 AM 5/12/98 -0400, Richard W.

IMO both factors should be evaluated. The IR (voltage) drop can be estimated several ways including taking measurements from an existing design. The other point concerns the regulatory agencies when dealing with higher voltage circuits. UL has standards that deal with the application of the finished product. The particulars regarding separation of high voltage circuits will vary somewhat with the standard. For example the requirements for medical devices are different than those for office equipment. The governing regulatory agencies should be contacted for guidance on this issue before committing the minimum spacing on a board design.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi Folks! I hate to keep beating a dead horse so to speak, but I've still got a few issues with the exhaust system I'm trying to set-up in our start-up facility. I should say it's not me that has the issue, but others that seem a little hesitant with what I want to do. I did get some more quotes, and was able to cut that $11,000 one almost in half...the latest one was for $5,960, and the gentleman that came out and did the quote said that there shouldn't be any problems with the exhaust fan I have... BUT, I guess since this is one of the first times I've actually dealt with the "nuts and bolts" of this stuff, a few other people that don't know anymore than I do about these things, have gotten involved with this project...talk about too many cooks in the kitchen! SHEESH! If you remember, I have a Dayton 5,700 CFM 2-hp, belt-driven, centrifugal ventilator fan up on the roof (that's less than 2-years old) that was left by the previous tenants. They also left a large portion of the ducting inside the building as well. We're going to have 4 pieces of equipment to exhaust; a Heller reflow oven (500 cfm req.), a Soltec wave solder (700 cfm req.), a Trek Triton IV cleaner (1800 cfm req.), and a Roilguard water evaporator (has it's own blower @ 1600 cfm) coming off a ultrasonic stencil cleaner. The evaporator is going to have it's own duct to the roof because it has it's own blower.

X-To: [log in to unmask] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sorry, I'm no HVAC expert, but in the many flex shops I've worked with I've run into a few of the issues you've been warned about. Moisture (high humidity levels) can migrate upwind at a surprising rate. Without a physical barrier it will reach into all parts of the exhaust system. Condensation can occur where you didn't plan for it to (usually at joints in the ductwork), and after reacting with other chemicals in the air flow, leak out over time. We had one mixed exhaust system made of epoxy/glass that literally disintigrated (poof!) when persulfate/water condensed inside and etched away the glass. The replacement was PVC. In another case, flux fumes from a roll solder machine, combined with moisture in a common exhaust system to make a mild acid solution that condensed and dripped out one of the velocity probe ports in the duct. One system, installed in a clean room, was not interlocked properly, and when the HEPA blowers shut down for whatever reason it would draw dirty air in from the HEPA returns. There was also a problem with the power exhausts on the photo-imagers pushing too much hot air into the common exhaust duct, causing the fan to trip off. A little less directly related to your question, we had one exhaust on a hot oil refold that seemed to be slowly losing draw (over a few years). When we finally decided to check it out, we found that the fan blades were literally corroded down to the hub.

Subscribe only to the digest portion of the group 3. Unsubscribe to the group and check out the newsgroup archives when you are interested in historical information.

What is the contributor? I forseen a misprinted PCB on the solder paste station is one of it. 1. What is the recommendation on the smear board cleaning procedure? 2. Ultra-sonic cleaner? 3. What type of chemical? 4. If an ultra-sonic is the solution, then what is the side impact to the package on double-sided process? Hope anyone can share the info.

I have previously qualified Kester HF-1189A flux in accordance with J-Std-001A, appendix D. At that time I was able to select a flux that was QPL listed under Mil-F-14256, type WSF, and qualified our process according to the appendix at level 2. Since then, J-Std-001 is now Rev B, Mil-f-14256 is a thing of the past, etc etc. So...... Are there any Class 3 producers out there who have gone through the qualification of water soluble fluxes according to the provisions of Appendix D ?? I'm just curious as to whether or not someone was able to qualify either Alpha 857 or Kester 2331ZX to the J-Std. I'm interested in changing water soluble fluxes from the water based HF1189A to an alcohol based water soluble flux. I'd like to know if anyone out there has been sucessful in passing the Appendix D requirements for class 3 activity. Thanks, Bill Kasprzak Moog Inc.

I have already looked at the Gold Immersion, and the OSP coating, and am now analyzing the Silver Immersion coating. For our application we found that the Gold Immersion coating would not be acceptable due to our suppliers not being able to hold the thickness of the gold deposit to our requirement of 5u" to 7u" consistently. We would like to see the deposit at this thickness to prevent gold embrittlement, and oxidation of the nickel plate under coat. When the gold deposits were above the 7u" thickness our solder joints failed lead pull tests. When the gold deposit thickness was under 5u" the boards failed solderability testing after steam age. Then we analyzed the OSP coating. For our application the coating was not acceptable due to the copper ring that was left around every solder joint that was not printed one to one. We have more 2500 stencils that would have to have the apertures opened up in order to print one to one at a cost of about $500K. This was not feasible for us. We also had problems with the special storage and handling that was required. Currently, we are now looking at the Silver Immersion coating. We ran a lot of 250 pieces of our most difficult double sided product. We experienced an increase in our first pass yield from 95% to 99.3%. We then ran another lot sample of 2500 pieces of the same product, and had the same exact results. There was excellent wetting characteristics on every solder joint. There were no special handling or storage requirements needed. The stencils did not have to be changed, and the boards could be treated exactly as if they were hot air solder leveled. I sent two completed samples out for Temperature cycling (-20 degrees C to +80 degrees C for 20 cycles), and then retested them. They both passed test. Both samples are now being shock tested and Vibration tested. They will then be retested. Then a lead pull test will be done, and then cross sectioning of various solder joints. A lot of people love the OSP coating, and a lot love the gold immersion coating. I think everyone has a unique process and product and what may work for me may not work for you. I think everyone should go through their own qualification process when making a major change like this. I can provide you with my lab reports if you want for reference, but you should really try all the different coatings out yourself. Anyway, hope this helps, and good luck!

X-To: [log in to unmask] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Steve, With three machines all running on the same exhausting make sure that you have an exhaust controller at the reflow to regulate your exhausting to exactly 500cfm. Too much exhaust can pull the heat right out of your oven. I think the moisture should be o.k. in the ducting. Airflow should carry the moisture out and heat should evaporate. You should make sure you have a T duct at the machines (assuming your ovens connect to the exhaust duct at the back of the machine and not the top) with a 1 foot section below the connection to the ovens and cleaner. This will allow the condensed water to drip into a "drippan" rather than into the ovens. Brian >Hi there Stve I am an HVAC/Mechanical Engineer I will appreciate to help >you if you will. >Ruben E.

It is my first communication through TechNet. My company recently went through an ISO9002 pre-assessment, and one of the points I got hit on was not having a method in place to make sure I have current copies of externally generated documents or specifications. My response was to try and find a web site that has the latest information posted. Can anyone tell me if there is a web site where I can obtain the latest specification regarding ESD precautions? Also, although slightly off-topic, I am looking for the same thing for the ISO9000 standard. Thank you for any help.

Steve, In a past job, we used to tie multiple reflow ovens to the same blower without too many problems. Balancing the flows for everything is the biggest pain. Another reply made a point about if your blower goes down, it shuts down your operation. Perhaps having more than one blower would make sense for that reason. Some of the blowers we had were pretty long lead time items. For horizontal ducting, we used to put a drain tube with a sight glass at the lowest spot on the slope. This would allow us to see if there was any liquid build-up, and periodically drain the ducts if necessary. As for the toxic substances... From my plating days, I know it is probably not a good idea to mix an acid cleaning bath exhaust with a gold cyanide plating bath exhaust, but I haven't heard of any deadly reactions from soldering and cleaning exhaust mixing. Most of the time with water condensation, I think it is probably concentration of acids, bases, or explosive substances (solvents, etc.) that is worrisome from a corrosion or maintenance safety standpoint. Perhaps your solder/flux supplier can provide some insight / references. Good Luck, Dave Anderson Medtronic, Inc. Opinions are my own, worth what you pay for them, and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

This same question came up and answers lasted over a week! It seems the lastest consensus is, there is no consensus. For as many reasons as there were to include them, there were an equal number not too. I've had vendors want them removed for manufacturing reasons and stackup reasons. (You don't have annular ring problems and you don't get the additional copper stackup on multilayer boards vs. the stackup of reduced copper areas over the other board. On the other hand, the internal pads may (read that MAY) aid in the hole plating adhesion. We have done it both ways, both with our knowledge and when the board vendor didn't bother to tell us what they were doing. We haven't seen a difference as far as reliability is concerned. There may be a difference however, on the type of board you are designing (high speed). I think I saw once that there was an archive of this site somewhere but I've never looked for it. Good luck. Larry Campbell Supervisor, PWB BFGoodrich, Avionics Systems >>> Karl Sweitzer <[log in to unmask]> 05/13/98 08:27am >>> We typically use nonfunctional lands to improve PTH reliability for our polyimide boards. This is based on NHB 5300 section 3K703 and IPC-D-275 section 5.3.2.5 On a current design, our board vendor is asking to remove them based on some recommendations he has heard in the industry. We are hesitant to do this based on the above quoted specification.

I have already looked at the Gold Immersion, and the OSP coating, and am now analyzing the Silver Immersion coating. For our application we found that the Gold Immersion coating would not be acceptable due to our suppliers not being able to hold the thickness of the gold deposit to our requirement of 5u" to 7u" consistently. We would like to see the deposit at this thickness to prevent gold embrittlement, and oxidation of the nickel plate under coat. When the gold deposits were above the 7u" thickness our solder joints failed lead pull tests. When the gold deposit thickness was under 5u" the boards failed solderability testing after steam age. Then we analyzed the OSP coating. For our application the coating was not acceptable due to the copper ring that was left around every solder joint that was not printed one to one. We have more 2500 stencils that would have to have the apertures opened up in order to print one to one at a cost of about $500K. This was not feasible for us. We also had problems with the special storage and handling that was required. Currently, we are now looking at the Silver Immersion coating. We ran a lot of 250 pieces of our most difficult double sided product. We experienced an increase in our first pass yield from 95% to 99.3%. We then ran another lot sample of 2500 pieces of the same product, and had the same exact results. There was excellent wetting characteristics on every solder joint. There were no special handling or storage requirements needed. The stencils did not have to be changed, and the boards could be treated exactly as if they were hot air solder leveled. I sent two completed samples out for Temperature cycling (-20 degrees C to +80 degrees C for 20 cycles), and then retested them. They both passed test. Both samples are now being shock tested and Vibration tested. They will then be retested. Then a lead pull test will be done, and then cross sectioning of various solder joints. A lot of people love the OSP coating, and a lot love the gold immersion coating. I think everyone has a unique process and product and what may work for me may not work for you. I think everyone should go through their own qualification process when making a major change like this. I can provide you with my lab reports if you want for reference, but you should really try all the different coatings out yourself. Anyway, hope this helps, and good luck!

This gives us our own part number to reference. We are then locked into a rev of the external spec, say rev a of J-STD-001. When rev b is available, we make sure we are meeting all the requirements in it before we change our internal copy to rev b. We are not working to the latest revision of the external specs until we make the change in our document control system. Remember, ISO requires you to meet all the requirements of a spec and control it, internal or external. We decided to make all external specs that we wanted to say we meet internal specs. This also forces you to review all new revisions for compliance before saying you meet all its changes. Hope this helps.

Are the suspect termination pads attached directly to or totally part of a large copper plane, without thermal reliefs? These pads would solidify more slowly, allowing the termination to lift out of the liquid solder. Perhaps the paste printing process is depositing different paste volumes on the pads? There may be thermal shadowing from adjacent components, but that's probably an unlikely scenario with convection reflow. I've experienced reflow tombstoning similar to yours with a specific type of chip component. The parts are EMI filter-capacitors (also called three-terminal capacitors). They're available in standard package sizes, however, have terminations on all four sides (for example, check the Murata Electronics page <http://www.iijnet.or.jp/murata/products/english/catalog/k01eemi.pdf> using part type NFM40P for a photo and technical specifications). BTW, I'm not affiliated with this company. Are you dealing with this type of device? Completed assemblies are in-circuit tested (shorts & opens, values, orientation, etc.) which is certainly a more consistent process than visual inspection, once equipment and programs are in place. Hope this helps solve the problem. Contact me directly if you want to discuss this further. Ellsworth D. Berkowitz, P.E.

We have recently switched from HASL to OSP (Entek 106 I believe) finish for our boards. We run a ground plane around the perimeter of boards and backplanes to help with EMI shielding and grounding in general. Their concern is with the change to OSP finish, we are seeing bare copper now that is tarnishing/oxidizing and is this still an acceptable grounding contact where it bolts to the chassis or contacts a cardcage? Other Questions : 1. When the board is processed (IR) does the OSP get removed or does it remain, and is it conductive or an insulator? 2. What are the options for having the ground perimeter copper finished so it won't oxidize and will provide a conductive surface for acceptable ground/EMI contact? I would appreciate any comments/opinions/advise.

Can anyone direct me to information that answers the following questions ? (My application involves development of products for a commercial environment. However, it is a requirement that we achieve long MTBFs over the standard commercial temperature range). 1. What are the criteria that should be used when deciding at the beginning of a product development cycle whether to use SMD components or leaded components on PCBs ? 2. I know, for example, one such criterion is mechanical stress and acceleration of the completed board and assembly. Above what value of g's is SMD-based PWAs yield unacceptable short- and long-term reliability ? (This is why, I believe, that the aviation industry continues to use leaded component assembly methods). 3. Any other important criteria that must be considered.

This process provides a very defined volume of solder which cannot be accomplished by normal stencil printing and if that is your goal, I think that the economics work out very well. The cost is a lot less than you will get with other solder deposit methods I have looked at!

As long as the bolts use a star washer that punches through the oxide when turned down, you're *probably* okey. Depends upon alot of things though - how thick the oxide layer is, if the bolts are going into floating pems (not the best connection to ground anyway), torque on the bolts, etc ...

You can try the following to see if it helps: 1. Lower preheat temperature 2. Is there sufficient flux on the board?(wave solder) 3. Soldermask: glossy or matte? The matte masks are less [prone to solder balls. 4. Is mask properly cured? Try an extended UV cycle to harden the mask.

In a former life, I met the late Jim Bryan and was treated to several lectures on "What a 'process' is". He also wrote a series of articles on this subject for PC Fab which I no longer have (sometimes you just have to clean house). Does anyone still have a copy of these articles they could fax to me? Please reply offline. Also, I WILL contact PC Fab myself. Also, I would like to have the TechNet's opinion of what a 'process' is to them. I am about to enter into this discussion with a bunch of assembly folks (I'm just a board guy, you know) who think I ought to be able to spec in the boards so they can go through all of their 'processes' no matter how they control them, several sites, one material. As I recall, (and, trust me, I used to be able to recite this in my sleep) Jim said that the process window had to be large enough so that a variety of materials can run through without a change in process parameters, and all of these materials will acquire the desired characteristics of the outcome of the process. In other words, you shouldn't have to change your process every time something different comes along and you should be able to run a lot of different materials through your process. A robust process has a window you could drive a truck through. Anyone care to continue this discussion? My apologies to those who don't like this sort of thing on TechNet.

I beleive that design for manufacturability is the key to generating a wide process window. The PCB finish will help marginally but ultimately it's down to good design processes. At the design / layout stage of an assembly it's important to consider the process flow for the assembly and that means taking the capabilities of the materials and equipment into account, when designing the pad geometries, clearances, component positions etc.. You need to know what materials/machines are going to be used, if many and varied you still need to know what they are. If you don't design manufacturability for a given process set up at the outset then you can forget it you will never have a wide process window.

I'm currently battling with our parts guys over inventory control of components. For the big stuff like ICs it is fairly easy to count them, but for chip caps / resistors it is more difficult to count them 'cause they are on tape and reel. I've suggested the technique of measuring the length of tape and dividing by the pitch, but our inventory guys want something automated. I'm sure such a thing exists, but have no idea where to begin looking. Can a Technet guru point me in the direction of an automated counting machine for counting parts on tape and reel?

They are happy with it and find it easy to use. Basically, you place the reel on one spindle, feed the tape through the counting sprocket and into a second reel. It is motorized so it counts fairly quickly and you can then quickly rewind the reel to get the tape back the way it started and double-check your count at the same time. Note that this equipment, like others I am aware of, counts the holes on the tape adjacent to the component pockets rather than the components themselves. So, if you are missing parts somewhere in the middle of the of the tape, it will not tell you this. Hope this helps -Steve Steven K. Lustig Process Engineer EMS Technologies, Inc.

Dave, at the end of the day, we all want processes that have as wide a window as is possible, but with some processes, it is simply not possible, and with others, it may cost something, either economic, or from a quality point of view, and simply is not worth it. A classic example is the etcher, who would ever try to set up an etch process that could handle any weight of Copper, from 1/4 oz to 3 oz??? Clearly this is a question that must address not only the particular process, but also the variation in materials that it is possible/likely to see.

For years, I have understood that the best way to store pcb's prior to assembly is in a heated, relatively dry environment. I am sure that the general consensus amongst most manufactureres is that this works best. Well, just recently I was told by a company setting up a new facility that they had been advised by a well known consultant to use a cold dry environment.

There has been some industry issues with BGA's and immersion gold/electroless nickel finishes (there was a very good paper given at the IPC PWB Surface Finishes Summit by Z. Mei of HP). The problem is/has been solder joint failure of large BGA packages at the nickel/solder interface after assembly. There is a team of folks lead by Bruce Houghten of Celestica looking into the issues and they will be reporting their investigation results periodically. Also, because of the BGA's finite solder volume the issue of gold embrittlement has sometimes been discussed. Most problems surrounding the gold embrittlement of BGA solder joints were due to insufficient reflow time to allow the dissolution of the gold into the solder joint. Good Luck.

I believe in a life cycle approach to determining fatigue life (reliability) of electronic assemblies. The clock starts after the board has been assembled (soldered one or both sides). Any rework or testing that occurs will start to accumulate damage and reduce life. Some testing (e.g. Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)) is designed to induce enough damage to weed out latent defects but not a significant amount to drastically reduce the life of good parts. One rule I have been taught is that ESS damage should be 1% of the total life cycle. > > 2.

Most of the avionic industry is going away from through hole parts for a number of reasons: part obsolescence, increased I/O count & density, smaller size and weight to name a few. Engineers have found ways to make surface mount (SMT) components (leaded, leadless, BGA, COB and chip scale) work for extreme environments. One common method is to mount 2 single sided SMT assemblies to a common heatsink core (6"x6" ~ SEM-E size). This assembly can be made very rigid (with natural frequencies above 500 Hz) and can have low thermal resistances. The advanced composites heatsink materials such as Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC), Beryllium Beryllium Oxide (BeBeO) have high stiffness, low CTE, and good thermal conductivity. My point here is that with enough time, money and engineering resources, SMT can and is used very reliably for avionics. In fact, some of the latest designs would not be possible without SMT! Your questions about a specific g level depend on the type of dynamic event. I have seen random vibration inputs for aircraft avionic boxes over 25 grms and pyroshock (SRS) inputs for spacecraft boxes over 3000 g. In both cases the boxes used SMT assemblies. I am sure others out there have seen higher levels. The main criteria to consider is to minimize strains and stress (thermal and dynamic) in the component connections and the PWBs themselves. David Steinberg's two books "Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment" and "Vibration Analysis for Electronic Equipment" are two of the best (but sometimes very conservative) books in this area. > > 3. Any other important criteria that must be considered. > One very important step in doing any analysis is to have a good understanding of the environments that your products will see.

Top side preheat temperatures measured 210F, within the process range we like. Tried cooling it down to 163F topside, got more solder defects, and some caps still going out of tolerance. We suspect that parts can't take thermal transfer during transit through the wave, where topside gets about 100F warmer (of course part bodies see less). Manufacturer says no, it's our preheat, still too high at 163F, even though they claim that the film can withstand 284F in the preheat zone. Boards are at least 10 layers with planes, and soldering cooler than 163 will mean lots of defects, especially where the RMA doesn't dry out or activate properly. Speeding up the conveyor results in lots of top side insufficients. Hand soldering works, but is expensive. Can't live with these parts, can't flush them. Should we consider cooler preheat, or are there other wave solder tricks we can try?

These are ususally named something like: rfc822.txt 6 vcard.vcf 29 ATTRIBS.BND att1.unk 9 It seems that these attachments are sometimes uuencoded, and that in some cases th result is that my mail program stops downloading messages, or even hangs up. It has been suggested by TechNet insiders that my software is to blame, and that I "contact my system administrator for a software upgrade". Since I of course know I have the best computer in the world with the latest software, and would never let anyone from MIS touch my treasured 20th Anniversary Mac, this is not the desired answer. So I put this question to you... Why not change the mailserver software to strip all email attachments before remailing postings to the list? It seems to me that most of these are some sort of bell and whistle thing for email display which some new mail programs generate. I don't need that, myself, it just bloats the hard drive further. The effect would be that it would prevent the attachment of resumes, GIF's and other such stuff going out to the list, but my thought is that this might be a good thing. I cannot recall the distribution of a useful attachment via this listserver. Is this good thinking, or bad? regards, Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA (now a hockey town, too) ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Maybe it is a aqueous problem. You may have moisture getting up inside the component thru the lead egress. We had this problem years ago. I am assuming the component is a through hole leaded device? We cooled down the components prior to aqueous cleaning. I think it was 10 to 15 min. Painful but effective. Try this: run some product through the process then dry them out in an oven for a few hours at 85deg C, then retest. If they test good it is moisture. Why hav you not sent parts to the manufacturer for a formal F/A? Do it-put them on the carpet.

As a secondary problem, I had a vendor ask me to send him a gerber file in RS-274-X format and when I looked at it with my gerber viewer, it looked different than the same file that was in RS-274-D format? Is this a problem with my design package (PADS PowerPCB) or my gerber viewer (Lavenir ViewMate)? Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The advantage of 274X is the vendor does not have to manually enter D-codes (less room for error). The down side is you might have difficulty with 274X and PADS. Call me and we can discuss workarounds (there's that nasty word again).

The reason I ask is that we are experiencing the same difficulties but have been dealing with it on a case by case basis. When we send out 274X gerbers to our board house, we always send along an aperture list just in case they have any questions. However, without fail, several PWBs sent out recently have had some readability issue. We were writing it off to operator error at the board house, but now that someone else (you) has mentioned PADS as the source of the problem, more questions are being formed. We're using PADS PowerPCB 2.0 on WINNT and WIN95 for critical place and route, SPECCTRA 7.1 for autorouting, and CAM350 for post processing. What format discrepancies have you identified specifically? Hopefully, you can give us some ideas of what to look for till we install 2.2. One thing I've noticed recently was that thermal apertures sometimes have their inner and outer diameter swapped.

RS-274-D is a "dumb" format with only coordinates and aperture numbers assigned. The PWB designer has to supply a file or a sheet of paper (which gets lost often....) with descriptions HOW the aperture are. RS-274-X "Extended Gerber" is a extension to this format which *includes* all necessary definitions, additionally with more possibilities with filled polygons etc. That means, it is more complicated, and sometimes incompatibilities happen, caused by bad implementations of the "official" syntax. But mostly, it works fine. Here in Germany, it is not so much used to the designers and PWB manufactures, but I for myself had nly the best experiences with it. No wrong apertiure tables, better CAM import etc. Some URLs which give good explanations about the different Gerber styles. http://www.artwork.com/gerber/appl2.htm "D-codes, Apertures and Gerber Plot Files"- about RS-274-D- http://www.artwork.com/gerber/274x/rs274x.htm "What's all this about RS274X Anyway?"

Bacteria in the feed wqater to the electroless bath or the copper plating bath will cause the problem that you have as related to particles in holes. These bacteria will continue to grow even in the solutions containing copper ions (a good antibacterial) and they can cause platings that look like fingers or even spirals extending into the holes from the hole walls. These bacteria are common in reclaimed/recycled waters and may even come in from your deionizer tanks.

In a former life, I met the late Jim Bryan and was treated to several lectures on "What a 'process' is". He also wrote a series of articles on this subject for PC Fab which I no longer have (sometimes you just have to clean house). Does anyone still have a copy of these articles they could fax to me? Please reply offline. Also, I WILL contact PC Fab myself. Also, I would like to have the TechNet's opinion of what a 'process' is to them. I am about to enter into this discussion with a bunch of assembly folks (I'm just a board guy, you know) who think I ought to be able to spec in the boards so they can go through all of their 'processes' no matter how they control them, several sites, one material. As I recall, (and, trust me, I used to be able to recite this in my sleep) Jim said that the process window had to be large enough so that a variety of materials can run through without a change in process parameters, and all of these materials will acquire the desired characteristics of the outcome of the process. In other words, you shouldn't have to change your process every time something different comes along and you should be able to run a lot of different materials through your process. A robust process has a window you could drive a truck through. Anyone care to continue this discussion? My apologies to those who don't like this sort of thing on TechNet. Regards, Dave Sullivan Rockwell Collins >> Good Morning Dave! What a interesting topic to start the day off with! First, I want to say I'm sorry I can't help you with any of Jim Bryan's articles. I have to admit I've never heard of him, or read any of his articles...but I would really be interested to read them though. Second, I'd like to say you don't have to apologize for starting what I think is a very good thread. I think that sometimes a lot of us get so deep into the technical aspects of our jobs, that it's good to step back once in a while and take a look at the big picture so to speak, of what it is we're doing.... So, what do I think a process is? Hmmmmm.....to me, that's kinda' tough to define so that what I say is true in all cases, just as it is to define what a "big window" is. What might be a considered a robust process with a "big window" to someone working on a manufacturing floor at one company, would be a nightmare trying to implement the same thing on the manufacturing floor at another company..... everything is relative. The qualities and characteristics that I think define what a good process is, I would have to say it's knowledgable human beings...it's as simple as that. With knowledgable, well trained humans, it doesn't matter what type of product or technology you're dealing with, there will be the capability of adapting to any requirement that is needed. I've not been working in this industry as long as many of you have, I started back in 1987 after I got out of the Navy. But in the 10-years that I've been doing this, the one thing that I quickly learned in the beginning and still goes on just as much today as it did back then, is what I call "Silo Mentality". Somebody learns something and keeps it in their "Silo", never sharing the knowledge with anybody else. It goes on between different companies as well as between individuals or departments working together at the same company...I guess if there's one thing that I miss about the military, is the lack of that kind of thinking. Those of you that have been in the military know that there's a constant effort put forth to make sure that everybody is well-trained and knowledgable in whatever field they're in, so they can be prepared for any situation...their lives depend on it. I know that my analogy might be kinda' hokey, but I think that many times the process problems that we all see day in and day out have something to do with not being aware of a problem because of the lack of knowledge. This starts from the beginning of the process building a product, applies to all people involved starting from the design engineer as well as the production worker on the manufacturing floor...everybody needs to know what they're doing from beginning to end in order to have a robust process with a big window... So when somebody asks me about the process I have where I work, or how robust it is, I don't base my answer listing what kind of equipement we have, or how many places we gather SPC data while the product is being built, I will try to show them what level of knowledge and experience there is within the human beings that are involved with our operation...and how we improve our process through learning. ...did I make any sense? -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

X-To: Jeff Hempton <[log in to unmask]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" For best results when performing pin in paste reflow you should use convection heating from top and bottom sides of the board. 220 to 230 (230 might be a little too hot but you should go by the max temp rating for the lowest-temp rated component) should be the max temp seen on the board (when profiled). Various ovens will have various reflow zone temps to acheive this due to the differences in thermal energy transfer. If you would like to discuss further contact me off line.

It is very common for bottom side to exceed 130-150C (110-140C on top) prior to wave soldering. If you have top side components failing with a cold profile, check the top side reflow profile. One solution I have used for wave soldering sensitive LCDs was to put a heat sink on top of just the part. This kept it 10-20C colder than the rest of the panel, provided the sink was removed immediately after exiting the wave. Heat sink material depends upon whether top side preheat is used. ------------- Original Text From: C=US/A=INTERNET/DDA=ID/TechNet(a)IPC.ORG, on 5/14/98 11:37 AM: We are experiencing failures of .25% film capacitors, presumably from heat damage during wave solder. Top side preheat temperatures measured 210F, within the process range we like. Tried cooling it down to 163F topside, got more solder defects, and some caps still going out of tolerance. We suspect that parts can't take thermal transfer during transit through the wave, where topside gets about 100F warmer (of course part bodies see less). Manufacturer says no, it's our preheat, still too high at 163F, even though they claim that the film can withstand 284F in the preheat zone. Boards are at least 10 layers with planes, and soldering cooler than 163 will mean lots of defects, especially where the RMA doesn't dry out or activate properly. Speeding up the conveyor results in lots of top side insufficients. Hand soldering works, but is expensive. Can't live with these parts, can't flush them. Should we consider cooler preheat, or are there other wave solder tricks we can try?

So far we used thermal relief and antipads developed by the rule of thumb, that it should be oversized by 20 mils from the pad. I would like to understand the calculation, and where I can shrink the dimensions to get more plane surface for our high speed boards. I read IPC-D-275,IPC-2221 and IPC-2222, and do not see calculation for the outside diameter of thermal relief. 60% of the land is calculated for the web width, but what is the hight of the web? Is it the same as the diameter of Clearance area in planes? Is IPC's calculation for the clearance area in planes too conservative. One manufacturer can do minimum antipads with diameter of the drill plus .016".

For years, I have understood that the best way to store pcb's prior to assembly is in a heated, relatively dry environment. I am sure that the general consensus amongst most manufactureres is that this works best. Well, just recently I was told by a company setting up a new facility that they had been advised by a well known consultant to use a cold dry environment. They are planning a 12-14 degree Celsius storeroom, once again relatively dry. Is there new thinking on this, or have they been badly advised?

What entry and exit materials are you using. Debris from these or just glass fibres from the wall of the hole can be difficult to see until after plating. Close inspection and micro-sectioning of blocked holes should reveal the source of the blockage. ie if it is metallic copper or foreign matter. Check the drilled panels carefully with dim backlighting to see any fibres in the hole. Using high quality new or refurbished (not resharpened) drills and aluminium entry material coupled with the correct feeds and speeds and good extraction are all important.

Generally speaking for most chemical reactions around room temperature (and all the temperature ranges we are throwing around here are) reaction rates double with every 10C rise in temperature. This of course assumes that enough heat/alternate energy source is available to provide the activation energy for reactions to even happen. We will also assume that the reactions we are interested in are not diffusion limited. A little more on that later. With that being said, any chemist would tell you that the cooler room idea is a good one. But now let's look at it in not such a theoretical sense, but in terms of printed circuit boards. In the past, say the 1980's and into 1990-91 one could still receive boards from a supplier, especially from the humid Far East, and have problems with them in manufacturing because of outgassing during manufacturing. This was usually due to moisture explosively vaporizing inside the board and then coming out through blow holes in the plated through holes, forming holes in the joints or even blowing the majority of the solder right out of the joint. We are talking about more than a thousand fold increase in volume here as the water turns to steam. To counteract this people would place their new incoming boards in an oven for x temperature for y time (can't remember the conditions!). This solved the symptom, but not really the issues - poor bare board manufacturing environment and poor hole quality! Today if you are buying from a quality board vendor you should not be seeing this problem, even with Thermount (Aramid) boards. At least we haven't and you can bet we've looked. So we just store our boards on shelves in the air-conditioned plant proper. Of course we are not a military provider that has signed a contract to provide 10 radios today and another 10 just like it in 10 years either. We go through our boards pretty fast. If you are in the same manufacturing stream as us and have good vendors, why do anything? There is another reaction I have not mentioned yet and that is the growth of intermetalics between the HASL layer and the copper. With enough heat and time and aided by a thin HASL layer, a warm oven can consume all your free solder on the board. This one may be diffusion controlled, I don't remember. The fellows at the British National Physics Lab could tell you more about this possibility. And getting REALLY esoteric, (hope you can tell I'm really enjoying doing this :) ) if you are dealing with boards with a 100% tin finish there is the possibility that your tin could go from metallic tin to gray tin at 13.2C. Hey metalurgists, can this still happen in the presence of lead and antimony? If we look at even the bigger picture there are costs involved with both heating and cooling, which will vary whether you are near Hobart on Tasmania (where snow is possible) or near one of the great Australian deserts (no map handy). Next, if you chose to keep your boards in a cool room there is the possibility that your system could lose coolant. If you have a very moist climate, and if the dew point is reached in the chamber and this happens often you will be condensing water onto your boards, which will enhance surface oxide formation to some small extent. Also coolant loss would put even more CFC's, HCFC's or HFC's into the atmosphere and contribute to what may or may not be happening - global warming. regards, Bev Christian Nortel > ---------- > From: Nicholas Kane[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Thursday, May 14, 1998 9:53 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [TN] Storing PCB's > > I am confused. > > For years, I have understood that the best way to store pcb's prior to > assembly is in a heated, relatively dry environment.

I imagine keeping this list going has been one of your "side jobs" in addition to all the other stuff that has been heaped on your plate, and you have done a fine job! Hugo is gonna to have some pretty big shoes to fill, but I imagine that you have done a "brain dump" with him and passed on the kinds of things that will help him keep this list running as smoothly as you have been able to do over the years. I wish you the best of luck and hope that whatever is ahead of you, brings you nothing but the best!

Specially if you haven't checked your email for a few days and get a few 100 messages. I think it would make sense to split the mailing list in several sub lists such as: IPC standard related wet processes multilayer photoimaging laminate etc...... Any comments?

I'm currently battling with our parts guys over inventory control of components. For the big stuff like ICs it is fairly easy to count them, but for chip caps / resistors it is more difficult to count them 'cause they are on tape and reel. I've suggested the technique of measuring the length of tape and dividing by the pitch, but our inventory guys want something automated. I'm sure such a thing exists, but have no idea where to begin looking. Can a Technet guru point me in the direction of an automated counting machine for counting parts on tape and reel? Please reply off the Technet if it sounds like an advert.

I have the same problem. ---------- From: Jerry Cupples Sent: Thursday, May 14, 1998 11:44 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] GEN: attachment files on TechNet postings Fellow TN'ers, My Eudora Pro 3.1 is not dealing with certain email attachment files on postings to TechNet the past few days. These are ususally named something like: rfc822.txt 6 vcard.vcf 29 ATTRIBS.BND att1.unk 9 It seems that these attachments are sometimes uuencoded, and that in some cases th result is that my mail program stops downloading messages, or even hangs up. It has been suggested by TechNet insiders that my software is to blame, and that I "contact my system administrator for a software upgrade". Since I of course know I have the best computer in the world with the latest software, and would never let anyone from MIS touch my treasured 20th Anniversary Mac, this is not the desired answer. So I put this question to you... Why not change the mailserver software to strip all email attachments before remailing postings to the list? It seems to me that most of these are some sort of bell and whistle thing for email display which some new mail programs generate. I don't need that, myself, it just bloats the hard drive further. The effect would be that it would prevent the attachment of resumes, GIF's and other such stuff going out to the list, but my thought is that this might be a good thing.

I had a similar need, to glue my rear view mirror to my windshield, in a non- standard position. I solved the problem by using standard Dow RTV silicone, BUT, in order to get it to adhere, I had to roughen the surface of the glass, using emery paper. Now, using emery paper on your parts may be difficult, or impractical, and so my suggestion is use a mild glass etch, which could be a simple 10% solution of ammonium biflouride, which you could put on with a cotton swab. Rinse well, then dry, and apply your silicone. Hope it works for you.

Today's phototooling films are specifically designed for use with a particular developer. The Kodak films in particular are not compatable with other developers. Having said that, some of the DuPont films can be used in the Kodak developers. Others can not. And we have not done very extensive testing to prove long term compatibility. If you will send a note directly with information about the specific films and chemicals you are considering, I will tell you what I know about there compatibility.

Actually, someone from DuPont is offering us their photo tooling product which is the Cronalar PHC-7. I don't mind evaluating this however it would be somewhat difficult for me since I need to change the entire chemistry of our developer machine to that of DuPont's. I was told by DuPont however that it would be possible to process the film using other manufacturer's developer. I don't have any idea as to what effects this might have on the developer chemicals or the photo tools that's why I'm gathering all information I can get. Presently, we are using Kodak's ECU7 film series for contact printing with their recommended chemistry which is RA2000 developer and RU4000 fixer. Thanks Again!

You can try the following to see if it helps: 1. Lower preheat temperature 2. Is there sufficient flux on the board?(wave solder) 3. Soldermask: glossy or matte? The matte masks are less [prone to solder balls. 4. Is mask properly cured? Try an extended UV cycle to harden the mask.

Now, using emery paper on your parts may be difficult, or impractical, and so my suggestion is use a mild glass etch, which could be a simple 10% solution of ammonium biflouride, which you could put on with a cotton swab.

All ionic fluorides should be treated with care. Certainly this one is not as bad as hydrofluoric acid, fluorosulfuric acid or super oxidizers like arsenic pentafluoride, but do be careful. I could go on about other very interesting nasties, but I'll control myself and stop here. Fluoride burns are nasty. They don't always hurt at first, but they sure will later! Fluoride will continue to penetrate the skin and will eventually start to leach calcium from the bones and can lead to localized "chemical osteoporosis" (my term, I'm not a med). It would be a good idea to have at hand as a first aid treatment a saturated solution of tetramethylammonium chloride or some other quarternary ammonium salt. If one comes in contact with a solution capable of liberating fluoride, dip the affected portion in an ice cold saturated solution of this stuff (good chemical term). The tetramethyl ammonium ion will sequester the fluoride ions enough to let the body deal with them. The cold decreases the diffusion rate of the fluoride into the depths of the body. Certainly the ice will dilute the stored room temperature saturated solution, but that's OK. Obviously remove the affected portion form the cold solution once in a while to avoid excessive cooling and its attendant problems. I'm not making this up. Check it out in the CRC Handbook of Laboratory Safety, 2nd Edition, CRC Press Inc., Boca Raton, 1976, pp45-47 (obviously different pages in newer editions! :) ) This is based on some excellent work by a med in DuPont, who know full well about fluoride burns from past experiences, unfortunately. regards, Bev Christian Nortel > ---------- > From: RSedlak[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Thursday, May 14, 1998 10:45 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [TN] Help > > Jean: > > This is one of those experiences that may be exactly what you need, or may > also result in gales of laughter. > > I had a similar need, to glue my rear view mirror to my windshield, in a > non- > standard position.

I have a copy of IPC-A-600 Rev E Aug 1995 which states for plated through holes the minimum land between the track and pad and hole must not be less than 0.002" as a minimum standard. This means that misregistration towards the track is not acceptable if the pad is reduced below 0.002" even if there is no actual breakout. On the other hand, the hole is allowed to break out of the pad in any other direction by as much as half the diameter. Clearly the two are incompatible with each other since with registration that bad there is bound to be breakout towards tracks in some areas. Has there been a revision specifically for via holes only, or is there any other specification relating to landless via holes as this criteria is impossible to meet on some designs. The implications of meeting this spec are to increase via pad size and/or reduce hole size which has implications for design density and manufacturing cost. Any views on this would be greatly appreciated. For production drilling on large panels, what minimum land do you think would be needed at the outset to guarantee minimum annular 0.002" on the finished panel taking account of drill size and etch reduction also?

For the big stuff like ICs it is fairly easy to count them, but for chip caps / resistors it is more difficult to count them 'cause they are on tape and reel. I've suggested the technique of measuring the length of tape and dividing by the pitch, but our inventory guys want something automated. I'm sure such a thing exists, but have no idea where to begin looking. Can a Technet guru point me in the direction of an automated counting machine for counting parts on tape and reel?

The key issue in making hybrid FR4/high performance material is to have materials with matching CTE's in the X/Y plane. In short, both product families (RO3000 and RO4000 families) can be made into MLB configurations with FR4 (and there are several programs already doing so). If you have any additional questions please let me know, thank you.

X-To: [log in to unmask] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Jeff - The Max temp you shouldn't exceed for an application depends upon the application. There can't be a set "max temperature" because everyone's assembly compoistion is different. Usually it is a component that has the "lowest thermal threshold of pain" but it could be (if, for example, there are components on the board that can withstand fairly high temperatures) the substrate, maybe even the solder paste. It is up to you to determine whatever it is that is the Most Vulnerable Component (MVC) on the assembly. Whatever that it is, I suggest taking the temperature its manufacture says it shouldn't exceed and subtract 5 deg. C from that value as a buffer. The resulting temperature should not be exceeded anywhere on the assembly. This defines the upper limit of the reflow temperature envelope at peak. The lower temperature, Full Liquidus Temp or Reflow Temp is defined by the solder paste manufacturer and is usually about 25-30 deg C above the alloy's melting point. Phil Zarrow ITM, Inc.

I'll try to fill in some info (and add some opinion) that may be useful. Many folks split solderability into two distinct categories: 1) Surface Oxide Mechanisms, 2) Intermetallic Mechanisms. Both of these categories are very heavily dependent on diffusion for going from a no-problem to a big-problem issue. Diffusion is a time and temperature variable. If your solderable coating is of sufficient thickness then you should only be dealing with a surface oxide mechanism. Some solderable coatings are have better oxide growth resistance than others (in terms of oxide type and thickness). You always form an intermetallic layer during soldering. However, if the solderable coating is too thin then either the solderable coating is consumed (e.g. a thin HASL finish converts into copper/tin intermetallic) or the sacrificial coating is breached (e.g. nickel diffusing through a gold finish). Dr. Chris Hunt of NPL published a good paper containing the formula's for getting a first order approximation of oxide and intermetallic diffusion growth in the SMI 96 conference proceeds that you may find helpful (Bev -this is who you couldn't remember!). WHY all of this info? - because if you would plug in a "cold " storage temperature into the oxide and/or intermetallic growth equations you will find that the amount of growth just about the same as room temperature storage conditions! I haven't seen anyone bring forth data supporting that "cold" storage would extend board shelf life. There has been several data packages and papers that have shown that the amount of moisture (e.g. humidity) can be detrimental to solderability due to the changes in oxide formation (e.g. type) that can occur. My recommendation is to focus on a pwb storage area that is dry and not spend time (and $$) on trying to keep things cold. Also, just to add some fuel to the debate that TechNet had on whether nickel is a diffusion barrier: If you look at the nickel/copper phase diagram it is very evident that copper can diffuse into nickel. However, the kinetics parameters need to also be taken into account in addition to the thermodynamic parameters, so the end results is that nickel does act as a diffusion barrier (sorry Werner - you and I disagree on this one). The simple answer is to procure solderable finishes that have sufficient thickness to avoid intermetallic problems and use storage conditions that do not promote oxide growth problems. Now if it were only that easy. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I don't think anyone has got a good handle on this one yet, however the solderability is much more robust than leaded components so the lack of solderability spec hasn't cause major heartburn yet(?). This issue also depends on whether you are using all eutectic balls or dual alloy structure (CBGA). With all eutectic solder balls, any oxidation (even very thick ones) will be broken up and displaced when the joint collapses during reflow, even if the flux doesn't have enough activity to reduce all the oxide. And obviously none of the standard methods used today would work. And I don't think anyone is ready to use ellipsometry methods to measure sub-micron oxide thickness' yet and I would have to guess the effectiveness would not be that great. The only risk is if a large non-wetting oxide particle is trapped at the Cu pad interface which will act as a starting crack reducing the fatigue life of the joint. My past experience (at another employer) with dual alloy structures indicates they are very robust also. When we were attempting to define solderability specs, we tried using steam aging to produce poorly solderable parts. We had a very difficult time trying to produce unsolderable parts. At the time, we were looking a tensile pull methods for evaluating solderability, but this proved to be an unreliable method due to the large scatter inherent in the method and the lack of producing parts with known poor solderability. (The tensile pull method we looked at mimicked the board attach process using WS-605 flux, pretty active stuff). We never came up with a spec. I did have one experience that was very bizarre which lead to a high temp tensile pull method that allowed examination of the 90/10 ball , eutectic interface without the use of metallurgical x-sectioning or C-SAM methods. We noticed a growth of contaminant on the solder balls that was a result of tray outgassing (due to improper processing of the tray) and a catalytic interaction of the ball surface. It took about 3 weeks to grow the material to a point in which it cause solderability problems. The main problem was poor wetting and outgassing which caused excessive voiding. If you solder to the ball using a tensile pull stud and pull at temps above 100C at low strain rates, you can fracture at the ball / eutectic interface. One can directly see the level of voiding in the eutectic part of the joint and can see non-wetted parts of the solder ball. I left this employer before this work was finished, but I don't think it ever developed into a spec.

We used FFT Analyzer made by AFK Condition Monitoring System. We checked the vibration level on a work table of a drill machine. It was around 0.5 to 2.5 micron meters when the machine and the surrounding ones were off, and it was around 3.5 to 7 micron meters in plane direction and 1.5 to 3 micron meters in Z direction when all the machine were running. However I am not sure whether the vibration level observed is to be improved or not. Please do advise me on the recommended maximum level of vibration for small hole drilling. Thanks and regards, M.

What is it that you are bonding to the glass? 2. Is this assembly fixtured? 3. How fast do you want the adhesive to cure? 4. If baking is required what is the max exposure temp? 5. When you say "semi rigid" what are you looking for? impact resistance, vibration resistance, compliance, elongation, elasticity, medium range shore D hardness etc. 6. What are you looking for in "excellant bond strength"? sheer strength, peel strength, tensile strength etc. 7. Are there any electrical requirements? dielectric stength, insulation resistance etc. 8. What is the min/max service and storage temp requirements? 9. etc. etc. etc. As you can see there many factors that come into play. The better you can define the requirements the better the proper adhesive can be selected. Companies such as Grace, 3M, Ciba, Dow, Loctite etc. all make good products that could probably work for you. I would contact them and discuss your application needs. As a sidelight 3M has a nice little duo-pack system as part of their DP epoxy adhesive series. It will bond to glass, is semi-flexible, cures fairly rapidly and has good over all properties. The other above mentioned suppliers also carry similar products. Regards Michael Barmuta Staff Engineer Fluke Corp.

The rule of thumb that I hear often is that you want to have a maximum sum of .160in of 1oz copper trace width going into a pth (.080in for 2oz). This means that if you have 4x 1oz power planes that you want to connect to one solder pin with a 4 spoke thermal relief design, then the trace should be: .160 in / (4 planes * 4 spokes)= .010in wide. Unfortunately, there not as much agreement on thermal relief "spoke" length. Most people I have checked with use .010 to .020in lengths. Another guideline is to use 4 spokes (per layer) whenever possible to give a uniform temperature distribution around the PTH. 3, 2 and 1 spoke can also be used when necessary. ********************************************************************* I have developed the following equations based on simple physics, (no testing). There are three issues of concern: 1) The temperature rise when soldering 2) The temperature rise under electrical load 3) The voltage drop under electrical load For the first case, the equations are based on simple 1D heat transfer: Q= (K a dT)/L = K dT (a/L) where Q is the input heat power, K is the thermal conductivity of the material, dT is the temperature difference and a, L are the cross section area and length. The actual values to use in this equation are an area of debate. K is easy. I use K=10 (W/inC) in mixed SI and english units for Copper. dT is the temperature difference between the ambient temperature of the board and the solder joint at reflow. Lets ASSUME 100C ambient (mild preheat) and 250C soldering temperature for a dT of 150C for example. Lets also ASSUME that we are using a 25W hand soldering iron. These assumptions can be changed around to suit your conditions. We can now rearrange the above equation to solve for geometry: (a/L)= K dT/Q or L= a K dT/Q If we use the .160" of 1oz copper trace width as a rule for the area we can calculate the length needed as: L= .160in * .00135in * 10 W/inC * 150C / 25W = .013in This falls in the .010 to .020in range that I mentioned above. Note: larger dT and smaller Q assumptions increase length. The second concern, can be evaluated by changing the equation. The electrical resistance in a copper trace is: R= pL/a where R is ohms, and p= 6.7E-7 ohm*in. The power dissipated is: Q= i^2R Combining these equations and solving for dT: dT=(p/K)*(iL/a)^2 (p/K)=6.7E-8 in^2C/A^2 or to allow for minimum plating thickness and trace width, I use (p/K)=1E-7 in^2C/A^2 For example, the temperature rise in a 15A .160in 1oz copper thermal relief spoke .013in long is: dT= 1E-7 in^2C/A^2 *(15A *.013in /(.160in *.00135in))^2= 0.08C This is a very small temperature rise and it shows how good copper is for this use. The final concern is voltage drop: V= iR= ipL/a For our example above: V= 15A * 6.7E-7 ohm*in *.013in / (.160in *.00135in)= .0006 volts *********************************************************************** Based on all this analysis, my department tends to use a 4 spoke design with .015in wide by .010in long spokes on outer layers and .020in long spokes on inner layers. We have set up a common aperature table and will use this when we have 4 or fewer layers. The increased temperature rise and voltage drop when there are fewer layers are still small. Any comments on this analysis??? I hope it helps :) -- Karl Sweitzer voice: 716.47.77546 Eastman Kodak Company pager: 716.25.33681 800 Lee Road fax: 716.47.77293 Rochester, NY 14650-3118 mailto:[log in to unmask] ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

We have in the past experienced noduling of the plated copper within the holes when the air aggitation of the bath was insufficient and caused localized areas of little or no air aggitation. A small amount of "sanding" on the panel surfaces or racks was present to tip off the problem usually, but a time or two we had no sanding but the problem. Copper noduling became very evident after pattern plating. Increasing the air supply to the electroless bath along with modifications to the air spargers fixed the problem. Other causes of instability may be at work also, too high operating temperature, high caustic, formaldehyde concentrations, or low chelator, stabilizer concentration. (Check bath chemistry to be sure it is within the recommended operating ranges for all components).

Searching the archive turned up nothing on this subject. Soldering (both wave and reflow) sometimes results in voids that can be x-ray imaged and verified by destructive testing. Some of these voids or combination of voids result in SMT heel fillets that are less than 50% of the width of the lead or less than 50% hole fill. Some voids from reflow seem inevitable especially in J-leaded solder joints. Has anyone tried to quantify how much voiding is acceptable? I would appreciate all thoughtful responses.

Top side preheat temperatures measured 210F, within the process range we like. Tried cooling it down to 163F topside, got more solder defects, and some caps still going out of tolerance. We suspect that parts can't take thermal transfer during transit through the wave, where topside gets about 100F warmer (of course part bodies see less). Manufacturer says no, it's our preheat, still too high at 163F, even though they claim that the film can withstand 284F in the preheat zone. Boards are at least 10 layers with planes, and soldering cooler than 163 will mean lots of defects, especially where the RMA doesn't dry out or activate properly. Speeding up the conveyor results in lots of top side insufficients. Hand soldering works, but is expensive. Can't live with these parts, can't flush them. Should we consider cooler preheat, or are there other wave solder tricks we can try?

Toward that end, the Subcommittee would like to pose several general questions to the industry: 1--What problems and issues exist with the present EPA and OSHA environmental, health and safety framework, and what impediments exist to hinder improved performance in either or both areas? For example, are there actions you might undertake to improve worker safety, but environmental regulations prevent you from doing so (or vice versa)? 2--If a forum of health experts were convened (with NIOSH and OSHA), what specific topics might be included on the agenda that could allow for constructive engagement of all stakeholders? 3--How can a rapidly changing industry most effectively be in conformance with the precautionary principle? FYI, this is the precautionary principle: "When as activity raises threats of harm to human health of the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically. In this context, the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof." Also FYI, the CSI is EPA's "cleaner, cheaper, smarter" project in regulatory reform. Any comments, thoughts, examples or inquiries are quite welcome. Thank you.

This is fairly easily accomplished with most CAM/Tooling softwares these days and can be done by your board supplier.

I have a copy of IPC-A-600 Rev E Aug 1995 which states for plated through holes the minimum land between the track and pad and hole must not be less than 0.002" as a minimum standard. This means that misregistration towards the track is not acceptable if the pad is reduced below 0.002" even if there is no actual breakout. On the other hand, the hole is allowed to break out of the pad in any other direction by as much as half the diameter. Clearly the two are incompatible with each other since with registration that bad there is bound to be breakout towards tracks in some areas. Has there been a revision specifically for via holes only, or is there any other specification relating to landless via holes as this criteria is impossible to meet on some designs. The implications of meeting this spec are to increase via pad size and/or reduce hole size which has implications for design density and manufacturing cost. Any views on this would be greatly appreciated. For production drilling on large panels, what minimum land do you think would be needed at the outset to guarantee minimum annular 0.002" on the finished panel taking account of drill size and etch reduction also?

Finally! Somebody else experienced the same problem I had a few years ago...I thought I was going nuts back then. We were building VGA cards and the same thing happened to us. Down around the gold fingers was where we had what we started calling; "The purple plague". The vendor you spoke with was right, it does have something to do with the gold plating chemicals. If I remember correctly, it was because the FAB vendor didn't follow the proper process, or clean the PCB adequately when doing the gold plating...I'm not sure of the precise problem, we were just told that it had to do with something not being done right during the gold plating. Whatever it is, it'll get darker with higher temperatures during reflow. Once we found the problem, we tried cleaning the boards using Freon as well as water, to see if by doing that it would eliminate the problem, but no luck. We were told back then that once the chemicals had soaked into the laminate, that was it...you couldn't do anything to keep it from discoloring. The bad thing about it is, it doesn't start to turn purple until the board sees reflow temperatures, so you couldn't separate and purge the bad PCB's before hand...so unless somebody else has figured out something else, these boards are hosed... Supposedly though, it's nothing harmful, it just makes the boards purple... -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Searching the archive turned up nothing on this subject. Soldering (both wave and reflow) sometimes results in voids that can be x-ray imaged and verified by destructive testing. Some of these voids or combination of voids result in SMT heel fillets that are less than 50% of the width of the lead or less than 50% hole fill. Some voids from reflow seem inevitable especially in J-leaded solder joints. Has anyone tried to quantify how much voiding is acceptable? I would appreciate all thoughtful responses.

The ANSIJ-STD-002A (to be released shortly) contains a new solderability test method for components and could be useful for BGA type components. The Surface Mount Simulation test is basically: printed your solder paste on a non-reflowable substrate (e.g. ceramic, teflon, etc), place your component into the paste, reflow, clean, and examine for 95% or better wetting. This new method has been shown to be very useful for fine pitch components that bridge if tested with the standard Dip and Look method. You could do the Surface Mount Simulation method and if the BGA solderballs are too oxidized I would expect that you would have either very poor wetting or a "glob" of solder with the BGA solderball sitting on top of it! Your only complication is that the BGA solderball contains no "lead" that would have solderability problems - you would be looking for oxide "skin" issues on the BGA solderball. Some Wetting Balance work has been attempted with BGA components but the results were unsatisfactory and very inconclusive. Good Luck.

In other words, a .018" via would be drilled at .018" or less, depending on your comfort level (most shops will go to .0125"). A component hole must be drilled .006" to .009" over the bottom end of the tolerance (based on +-.003" tolerance) to insure lead fit. This in itself should gain you approx. .006" to .009" pad diameter reduction. 2) A teardrop placement towards the circuit will allow you to still maintain annular ring in the event of hole movement towards the circuit. Many design and CAM station software have this feature available. JOHN WAITE Paul Gould wrote: > Can anyone help with a query on land around via holes.

Since you have a HASL finish I'll bet that you have an expose Cu/Sn intermetallic rather than just Cu - oxidized Cu/Sn surfaces are practically nonsolderable which means the solder joints that appear to be made on those surfaces are at best very poor metallurgical bonds and that means poor reliability for most use environments. Some good info can be found in "The Mechanics of Solder Alloy Wetting & Spreading", ISBN 0-442-01752-9. Chapter 6. Your real issue is the location of the "exposed Cu". The edge of pads and the sidewalls of traces do not cause problems ((for many use environments) in comparison to the pad location where leads will be present. Many assemblers have "exposed Cu" on assembles that have no corrosion problems. Check the TechNet archives for a reference someone gave a while back on a paper that detailed exposed copper on assemblies in the telecommunications industry over a 30 year period. Good Luck.

Now, according to IPC-6012 (3.5.4.6), if the non wetting is on non soldered surfaces, which is the case with my boards, 1% of conductor surfaces can have exposed Cu for class 3. If you count each of the holes we have twice (once for each side), we have less than that percentage. I'm still not very comfortable with this, though, so I was hoping someone could tell me the ramifications of exposed Cu in finished assemblies; it seems like it'd potentially be a reliability problem potentially.

(Examples in 2.10.5, Accept Class 3, 50 micrometer ARmin =97 that's OK. However, Accept Class 1 & 2 is in conflict, B) 25 micrometer ARmin. (there is no documented requirement for this requirement), which is in conflict with C) which allows 90 degree breakout, you can't have both. So, you need to use an expanded interpretation of 2.10.3 for all "supported" (plated-through) hole lands. =20 The following embedded responses to your series of inquiries concerning "Conductor/Land Hole Registration" are based on the full interpretation of the technical conductor/land junction area and land/hole registration requirements of the IPC-RB-276, IPC-6012, and IPC-A-600E. Some of these interpretations may stimulate some additional technet discussion, but based on current IPC standard and specification requirements, "They're in the book(s)". >Can anyone help with a query on land around via holes. I have a copy of >IPC-A-600 Rev E Aug 1995 which states for plated through holes the >minimum land between the track and pad and hole must not be less than >0.002" as a minimum standard. The IPC-A-600E for conductor/land junction area, and land/hole registration does not differentiate between component and via holes.=20 (It is assumed "track" means conductor and "pad" is a land.)=20 In IPC-RB-276, 3.7.3 "Annular Ring (External)" refers to Table 6 for "Minimum Annular Ring Requirements", and IPC-6012, 3.4.3 "Annular Ring (External)" refers to Table 3-5 for "Minimum Annular Ring Requirements". Then in IPC-RB-276, 3.7.3, 1st sentence, last paragraph, and IPC-6012, 3.4.3 "Annular Ring (External)" last sentence, only paragraph, they both have a requirement that states, "Plated-through holes identified as vias can have up to 90 degree breakout of the annular ring if it does not occur at the conductor and land intersection." With minor word changes, these requirements are the Table in the IPC-A-600E. Interpretation of these requirements per the referenced "tables", breakout is allowed for "all" Class 1 & 2 Products plated-through holes. There is a minimum annular ring requirement for Class 3, and the statement addressing "plated-through holes identified as vias" is superfluous.=20 The only requirement in IPC-A-600E, 2.10 "Dimensional Characteristics", 2.10.3 "Annular Ring - Supported Hole", page 46, for a 50 micrometer minimum annular ring (ARmin) is for Class 3 products. In the IPC-A-600E, the "Table" of requirements (from IPC-RB-276 and IPC-6012 is essentially the same) there is no ARmin for either Class 1 or Class 2. Under Class 2 requirements the last sentence states, "The conductor junction should never be less than 50 micrometers [0.002 inch]". (Note=97 the corrected metric "typo" error of 0.55 mm.) The "should" statement should be treated as a "comment" per the IPC's use of the words such as "must, shall, should, may, can, etc", the "should" requirement is not a requirement, and it shall be considered as a "it would be nice option" in accordance with our use of words. >This means that misregistration towards the track is not acceptable=20 >if the pad is reduced below 0.002" even if there is no actual breakout. >On the other hand, the hole is allowed to break out of the pad in any >other direction by as much as half the diameter. Clearly the two are >incompatible with each other since with registration that bad there is >bound to be breakout towards tracks in some areas. 1) Misregistration of the hole towards the conductor in the CLJA is acceptable because there are no ARmin requirements for Class 1 & 2 Products, "breakout" of up to 180 and 90 degrees is respectively allowed for Class 1 and Class 2 Products of the hole to land; with an additional requirement that "breakout" in the conductor/land junction area (CLJA) shall not reduce the conductor width in the CLJA to less than 70% (Class 1) or 80% (Class 2) of the design conductor width minimum (DWCmin) in the product definition data (PDD) (could be a master drawing), or the production master nominal. 2) Because there is no ARmin for Class 1 and 2 Products, the edge of the hole can be "tangent" to the land and the "end" of the conductor in the CLJA (by definition, tangency is not breakout). 3) Incompatibilities - there aren't any, as in the above comment 1), Class 1 and 2 Products allows two levels of "restricterd" breakout or "tangency" with no ARmin requirements, and Class 3 has a 50 micrometer ARmin requirement. >Has there been a revision specifically for via holes only, or is there >any other specification relating to landless via holes as this criteria >is impossible to meet on some designs. Per existing manufacturing specification requirements(IPC-RB-276 or 6012), there is no differentiation between component and via hole lands, for Class 1 & 2 Products, "tangency" or limited reduction in CW in the CLJA is acceptable. There is a test program (through ITRI) that is evaluating "butt" or "land-less" interlayer connections for multilayer printed boards, unfortunately, "outer layer" interconnections are not included in the test matrix. Some printed board designs are "designed" for "controlled" breakout of up to 90 degrees for Class 2 Products with very good reliability results for specific environments. As Andy Slade (Hadco) commented, using "filleted land patterns" (modifying the land pattern by adding a "teardrop" or "snowman") in the CLJA will eliminate the probability of=20 "breakout" in the CLJA. This is what a quality design would include if "controlled" breakout is allowed, and coupled with "reliability" are "design" requirements. >The implications of meeting this spec are to increase via pad size >and/or reduce hole size which has implications for design density >and manufacturing cost. Not really, it depends on how "land" size is increased, use "obround", or "elongated" hexagonal or octagonal shaped lands, by (appropriately) orient the lands in a consistent direction on each "X" or "Y" orthogonal conductive pattern layer, and by limiting conductors to ingress or egress from a land only at the "ends" of the lands .

And I want to get some serious chemistry understanding going on here. The bottom line is that "flouride" by itself, while no pussy cat, is not crazily dangerous. However, CONCENTRATED HF is. Note the casual reference to the term CONCENTRATED. Specifically, as pH goes down, Flouride goes from the ionized salt to the protonated form, HF. Even this, by itself is no more dangerous than HCl, Hydrochloric Acid, which is sold as toilet cleaner, in every grocery store. What does get dangerous is when the HF concentration gets high enough to form the dimer, (HF)2, which is damn dangerous, However, you risk averse, please make very careful notes, there is no concentration of Ammonium Biflouride in water, that can create any of the dimer, (HF)2! Which is why I recommended the use of Ammonium Biflouride, not HF.(Hydrofluoric Acid) So, go back to sleep, and try not to drink the stuff, or get it into open wounds, and eyes, and if it does get on your skin, try to rinse it off within, say, 10-15 minutes. And find something else, that actually helps us all get our jobs done, and quit sweating the details.

Bev's description of the toxicology of HF exposure to skin is pretty accurate. I've worked with a lot of concentrated acids, and HF is by far the scariest. I think Bev and I have a serious understanding of the chemistry. Any acidic solution containing F- is dangerous and can cause burns, that may not seem so bad at first. The problem is that the burns don't heal, they get worse with time and may eventually attact bone. F- ties up calcium ions in tissue, and since Ca+ is needed for tissue repair, the tissue deteriorates. The medical treatment for F- burns is subcutaneous injections of calcium salts. This information can be found in the MSDS for acidic fluoride salts and good laboratory safety manuals. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

I would incorporate various drill sizes and adjust the lands for minimum annular ring to a shield area. Put the test pattern on the largest panel you run, incorporate HCD and LCD areas opposing each other (allows to check front to back close down rates/funneling), Isolate circuits around the edge of the panel and in the center. I would also suggest incorporating impedance test lines randomly for Electrical evaluation as well as your cross sectioning evaluation. I'm sure that there may be a generic pattern from IPC, but I've found that it is better to go through the "pain" of generating one that may be more closely associated with the type of work and plating issues I deal with in my shop.

Bev's description of the toxicology of HF exposure to skin is pretty accurate. I've worked with a lot of concentrated acids, and HF is by far the scariest. I think Bev and I have a serious understanding of the chemistry. Any acidic solution containing F- is dangerous and can cause burns, that may not seem so bad at first. The problem is that the burns don't heal, they get worse with time and may eventually attact bone. F- ties up calcium ions in tissue, and since Ca+ is needed for tissue repair, the tissue deteriorates. The medical treatment for F- burns is subcutaneous injections of calcium salts. This information can be found in the MSDS for acidic fluoride salts and good laboratory safety manuals. All, One more liitle piece of infomation about fluoride burns. As the HF ties of the Calcium in your blood, it form a salt in your viens and arteries. If you don't get those injections of Calcium salt within about an hour or so, there is no way to remove that salt from your viens. It collects in your heart and you die within about 24 hours. it isn't a very pleasant way to die.

Failure to do so is to invite premature mechanical failure when the PWA is placed into operation. The lead forms to make the connections required will provide more than enough lead compliance in most cases. The biggest thing that you have to watch for are individual components such as power transistors, triacs, etc. that might lead to heat damage of the board substrate.

The component, if elevated, will bend above the board rather than at the pad. You may have some problems with your radial components if you only have 2-3 lead diameters from the hole to the pad. You could mount those components flush to the board but may get some entrapment if coated.

This is not going the way I had hoped. 1) I didn't say not use ammonium bifluoride, just be careful. The hydrogen fluoride bonds in the HF2- ion are among the strongest hydrogen bonds known, to the point that the bonds are best described in terms of 3c-4e- MO covalent bonding theory, so there is less free fluoride than with other compounds. It is a good choice, just use caution. No attempt to drive anyone crazy was intended. 2) HF is definitely more dangerous than HCl. 3) I have just got off the telephone with Dr. Jack Passmore, a world renowned fluorine chemist, and he tells me if he got an ionic fluoride on his skin he would not be wasting any time getting to a sink to wash it off. The label on a bottle of sodium fluoride gives it an exposure value of 2 on a scale of 1 to 4, so I would never wait even five minutes, let alone 15 before washing. 4) If I am not mistaken the active fluorine-containing ingredient in toothpaste is "stannous fluoride", which on exposure to air forms stannic oxyfluoride. This material is polymeric and insoluble. The fluorine atoms in tin compounds have a high degree of covalent character in their bonds to the central tin, as opposed to a 100% ionic bond, and there is little tendency for them to leave the tin. As a result, there is an extremely small amount of free fluoride. If this were not the case we would all be running around with mottled teeth. 6) In concentrated HF is it more like (HF)n. There may be some (HF)2, but certainly it would only be the dominant species at one intermediate concentration. The degree of "polymerization" (hydrogen bonding) is not the source of the danger, just the increasing concentration of HF. 5) Tom Hybiske wrote about the subcutaneous injection of a calcium salt for HF burns. Specifically the salt is calcium gluconate and the treatment is excrutiatingly painful. Fortunately I cannot tell you this from personal experience. My whole point in mentioning the bit about the FIRST AID treatment with the ternary ammonium salt skin exposure antidote was to help people avoid having to go through the MEDICAL treatment of the injections.

I am pondering of placing 1005 chip pkg (0402) with our Fuji CP3 chipshooter. Does any one out there who has experience with it?. I am getting mixed responses from Fuji. If it works with 0.7mm nozzles, what problem will I encounter (such as fall-out, mispick, misplacement, cam speed reduction...)??

Many shops will only make SMOBC boards but there are still companies that request reflowed boards because of either current carrying capacity concerns or other reasons.

If so, try diluting your sample by 4X, then performing the method of standard additions with the dilute solution. Based upon the concentration you are measuring (125 mg/L), a 4X dilution will still leave you in the manufacuterers recommended operating range. Have you attempted to employ a nitrous oxide/acetylene flame? Although this fuel mix is regarded as reducing sensitivity, we have had success employing nitrous oxide/acetylene in the measurement of chrome. Despite the manufacturers suggestion, the nitrous oxide technique improved spike recovery and duplicate relaibility without reducing sensitivity. I would also experiment with the flame stoichiometry to maximize sensitivity. There are several elements we test which are very sensitive to the fuel flow. Lastly, it is posssible to supress interferring speicies by adding 4% wieght to volume uranyl nitrate to all samples and/or prepared standards (See Varian technical literature). This may not be practical with the method of standard additions however. Good luck and feel free to call me if you have further questions.

IPC-A-610 (9.3) says they are acceptable for type 1,2,3 boards. IPC-D-275 (4.8) says jumpers are considered a component and need to be documented as such, but are again acceptable on all types, including military applications. What I determined was essentially, as long as jumpers are done correctly there is no stated limit I could find. If you happen to get some other data, I'd appreciate a quick note and point me to it.

There is currently no pending legislative or regulatory proposals in the U.S. that would ban or tax the use of lead in electronic devices. There are, however, several pending in Europe (Sweden, Denmark, European Union) and in Japan. All of these proposals would either ban, phase-out, or discourage through voluntary means the use of lead in electronic devices and automobiles by certain dates. The IPC is watching these proposals closely because any international restrictions may be adopted by OEMs in order to sell their products in international markets. As a result, in the future, OEMs may be looking to eliminate lead in their products. Due to the unique nature of tin/lead solder and its importance to the electronics industry, there may be exceptions for circuit boards and certain components; however, at this date, it is unclear what is going to happen. I hope this overview helps. Please call or e-mail me if you have additional questions.

I am not one to grip, b***h, complain or otherwise (99.9%). I would also like to see the specification numbers stay constant and to bump the rev where necessary. At one time I could call out spec numbers and sections verbatim with reference to IPC. Try doing that now and and you will build a Level III in a Level I environment. So, is IPC trying to minimize the occurences of changing the overall control number and is there a spreadsheet on your webpage that shows superceded specs and their replacement numbers? Thanks.

This is a valid question, although I assume that when you say mil specs "never" changed, it's because the numbers didn't change, not the actual contents. After all, MIL-PRF-55110 is now at F revision. I would like to point out that IPC-RB-276 was published in 1992, and not superseded until 1997, and that IPC-D-275, published in 1991, wasn't superseded until 1998. That's a lot of time between revisions. In fact, we frequently hear from industry that the standards don't keep up with the technology. Although IPC doesn't have the resources at this time to draw up lists showing the differences between standards, often, larger OEMs prepare such comparisons. In fact, Boeing prepared a detailed list comparing 276, 55110, and 6012, which it shared with IPC. When such lists are shared with IPC, we typically make them available to the industry on a as-requested basis, although we do not double-check for accuracy. Remember too, that it is the task groups, made up of volunteers from industry, that write these standards and wrestle with the decisions. IPC is a facilitator and publisher, but our technical policy is set by a special committee made up of chairmen of the task groups, and the whole structure operates in (mostly) an autonomous fashion. It's a great discussion point. I'm interested in seeing what others have to say.

We asked the IPC to provide a paper trail from IPC-RB276 to IPC-6012. Something along the lines of running a revision on IPC-RB-276 which says that the spec has been superceded by IPC-6012. Therefore, we didn't have to change a bunch of drawings to IPC-6012 at once. We just change them as needed. I believe that IPC did do this for us. NOW, when IPC-RB-276 is ordered the one sheet IPC-RB-276 with the supercede note on it is sent and a copy of IPC-6012 is sent. I think this adequately addresses our drawing issues and, hopefully, yours. Regards, Dave Sullivan Rockwell Collins, Inc.

The problem with trying to use a CP-3 for 0402's is because of the nozzle size, your pick-up's have to be dead perfect. If the feeder locating pins on the device table have been beat-up at all (and they usually are), you won't have the kind of repeatability you need to have without wasting a ton of parts...(well, not a TON, but lots...) Another problem is that you'll need to replace all your current small nozzles with special 0402 nozzles, and they only do well with 0402 parts (unlike the standard 1.3mm small nozzle which can place a variety of different packages as you probably already know). Because the CP-3's nozzles are spring loaded, and the nozzle for 0402's is so delicate, it doesn't take much force whatsoever to tweek them enough that they're unusable...just normal operation tweeks the nozzles. It's been a while since I've worked with a CP-3, but at the last place I worked (a contract assembler) where we had CP-3's, we would turn down business that had 0402's on the boards because we just couldn't get the CP-3 to place them reliably. -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

This is probably due to residues from RMA solder paste. The boards are washed after wave soldering with water/detergent, but there is no intermediate cleaning after the reflow soldering. It takes a couple of days before the reflow soldered boards are wave soldered, so the paste-flux is not very cleanable anymore.I've heard so often that bad cleaning of RMA is much worse than good cleaning or no cleaning. I'm not sure, but this is what I think is the cause of the problem.. The question : will this ionic contamination, concentrated around the topside-smd's, really result in early failures ? The boards are built in hermetically sealed boxes, but will be used in a wide variety of temperatures. There are no fine-pitch devices on the boards. Any advice or comments are welcome.

You should be using 7mm, nothing less. 3mm will expand and contract almost at will. You should also store your film in a humidity and temperture controlled environment. Don't measure the film immediately after it comes out of processing since it has expanded during drying. It will stabilize back to original size shortly.

I lost the original post on this subject, so I will use Dougal Stewarts' post to reply. I haven't seen this one (purple stain) for quite awhile! In the "early days" of reflowed tin/lead, we put the nickel/gold onto edge card tabs right after etching but before reflow. The plated tin/lead was easy to strip off the fingers and the process went well. With the advent of HASL, it was a pain to nickel/gold plate prior to HASL because of the infamous finger taping issues prior to HASL. So we nickel/gold plated after HASL. HASL solder was quite difficult to completely remove without both chemicals AND abrasion in the inline tab plater. We began to get the purple stain which turned up at soldermask bake and got worse as the board saw more and more heat. Our labs tested the product and found that in some rare instances that there could be an ionic issue but not as disastrous as the cosmetic issue. We decided to eliminate the cosmetic issue entirely by finding a better way of taping the nickel/gold prior to HASL. The purple stain itself is caused by a complexing of the Cobalt in the gold with the Bromine in the laminate under heat. We suspected that somehow the aggressive HASL solder strip chemistry combined with abrasion provided a better path for the gold salts into the laminate. We don't make boards anymore, but occasionally we get a few supplier questions regarding acceptance. I hope this helps.

Any suggestions? > Hi Marco, It is important to pre-stabilise the film before plotting. If it is taken straight from the packet and plotted you will have problems. If you can take the film out of the packet and let the air get to it for at least a couple of hours (ideally 24 hours) in your stabilised environment you should minimise any movement after plotting. What kind of shrinkage are you seeing. We generally consider we are doing well if we get less than 0.025mm over 500mm which is 50ppm. The difficulty is accurately measuring the error to that degree of accuracy.

You should be able to "predict" where the impurity levels are going to be and can use this data to support "why" you haven't jeopardized the overall process reliability. Many shops just dump their solder pot (dump = recycle) monthly rather than incur the cost of testing and doing the predictions. As for the amount of gold that you can live with, take a look at section 5.4 in the J-STD-001 Handbook - it does a nice job of covering the details of gold removal and why! Good Luck.

We send out solder samples for testing from our tinning and gold stripping solder pots every thirty days. To answer the question of "what do you do with parts that were tinned while the solder pot is being tested (and the test fails)" we shut the pot down until the test results come back. The problem is we only have one gold pot and don't want to shut it down during testing. How does your companies address this issue? Is it fair to assume that since there is a secondary tinning operation that the small amount of gold that may remain on the parts will not be a problem? Do you dump the pot every thirty days? My second question is, what is the maximum amount of gold that can be plated on a terminal and still be soldered into an assembly with only tinning and not cleaning? Is there a specification that allows this? Thanks in advance for all responses. Ken Bloomquist Sr. Principal Process Eng.

It's usually called a signature file. In Groupwise, the lousy mail system we use at IPC, I have my preferences set so that when I hit the send button, I have to option to or not to attach the signature file. You've probably done this already, but just in case--look through all your mail applications preferences. There may be an option to have "verbose headers" which, if checked, show ALL the to/from/cc fields. If you are using one of the freeware/shareware browsers like Eudora Light or Pegasus, it's hard to get support, but both of the ones I just mentioned have pretty nice manuals or help files that can be downloaded. If you're running on a Unix based, company propriatary e-mail system from a dumb terminal or using a terminal emulator on a PC, you're at the mercy of your system administrators. I've had both good and bad experience in those situations. I'm always frustrated by the ones that tell me what I need instead of asking. While it's borderline to topic acceptability, if we get a slow period some day you might want to repost your msg with more info about exactly what mail system you are using and what specific mail reader you have on your PC/terminal. Someone out there may have found a work-a-round on seeing your whole header. If it's an occasional curiosity on who posted, another option might be to hit your reply button and see if all the addresses show up in the TO: field then. You should be able to cancel/delete the reply screen after you see the info. Good luck.

The article focused on his warnings that at 300MHZ and above, Fr-4 is unsuitable and future substrates should be of alternative materials, the costs and processing should be considered etc... I asked our design engineers to comment on this, and they have no problems with FR-4 at 300MHZ which are speeds we use presently. I know of one other company using FR-4 at these speeds, and if they are happy with it then so am I, as they are big league!

IPC-1710, OEM Standard for Printed Board Manufacturers' Qualification Profile Developed by the OEM council of the IPC, the MQP sets the standard for assessing PWB manufacturers capabilities and allows PWB manufacturers to more easily satisfy customer requirements. IPC-1720, Assembly Qualification Profile Developed by the OEM council of the IPC, IPC-1720 categorized an electronic assembly manufacturer's capabilities and supplies the OEM customer with detailed, substantive information. IPC-1730, Laminator Qualification Profile The IPC-1730 categorizes a laminator manufacturer's capabilities. Used for single or multiple sites or locations, it eases auditing processes and reduces the frequency of audits, thereby decreasing paperwork and enhancing effectiveness. The program includes a description, approval and certification profile, and a quality profile.

The high Tg (>140) was for Z-axis stability. The board was exclusively 50 ohms impedance, and included a test coupon on the board itself. One thing we did was ask for impedance testing to be done to 200db levels instead of the standard 20db. This would show any and all discontinuities along the traces. My recommendation is to talk with your fab shop and determine what exactly they can do for you (technical input), and find out if they can fabricate using GETEK material (much like FR4, should be no additional costs) which has a lower and much more stable dielectric constant. My fab shops was dieing to give me GETEK boards, but this particular engineer wasn't familiar with it, and couldn't evaluate it properly. But then again, he did get boards at 1.2Ghz using standard FR4 material. Go figure?

For you microstip layers (external), you'll only have about 3.5 mils of dielectric material to the ground/power reference plane! That's a pretty thin dielectric separation. For your stipline layers (internal) you'll have about a 7 mil dielectric separation to your reference planes, so that should be ok, but the external layers might be a concern for you.

Thanks for the quick response! As regards the IPC specs, one of my old friends and former colleague Rich Mellitz did a lot of work for the IPC specs in the area of TDR and impedance measurement. Rich is a stickler on Z0 measurement accuracy. Rich, if you're out there - Hi!!!!! We do Z0 testing on all our protos. This is in addition to work the board shop does. The TDR setup we use launches a 30-35ps risetime pulse with a 1/2 volt step. In addition to the Z0 itself, we take delay measurements as well as watch the risetime at coupon launch and at coupon exit. The measurement procedure is critical for accuracy. Other test beds may do slower as you mention (200ps). One thing I noticed was that you specified a slower pulse, i.e. in microseconds. How does this benefit you?

This should be done in the plotter area 2) Are your humidity and temp in the plotting room and other areas consistent with each other? 3) Some material movement from the processor is normal (1-2 mils over the sheet of film). If your shrinkage is constant, size at the plotting/cam station according. There are a number of other items that will also cause this, but start simple...

Marco, Just had another thought if it is only your contacts. If you are using a single sided glass exposure frame with a flexible membrane over the top, your copy film will be in contact with the membrane and will tend to get mechanically stretched. This would result in an apparent shrinkage after exposure. If this is a possibility, put a sheet of black card on top of the film before closing the lid and pulling the vacuum. Hope this helps.

I don't know what b********t people tell you in the US of A, but whenever the guys from GE talk to me they say that the material is more expensive (has to be, it's new and better!) and the processing is not the same as FR4 - the bond cycle is extremely tortuous and is at least 2x the length of an FR4 cycle.

It sounds like you have a "glass pac" style tooling. AT what point do you see the "distortion". Is is off the diazo developer or during exposure, or after transfer of the phototool to imaging area. Also, are you using a covercoat over your diazo (IE- APF,PPF, etc). Sorry about my misinterpretation. I thought you were using 1st generation silvers.

IPC specs are great and provide the most up-to-date information available. IPC specs evolve quickly and are the focus of much change activity, unlike the status quo of many older military specs. All this is terrific from a technology point of view but it does make management of specifications and contract requirements very cumbersome. Some of us are still building military and commercial hardware to very specific design requirements. Our customers are reluctant to change, which locks us into old specifications. Yes, we are trying to eliminate specific design requirements from our contracts using the Single Process Initiative. We have been successful in many respects, but as soon as we get though this process we find the specs have changed again. All this requires a great deal of effort to inform customers, update documentation, train employees, and bring suppliers up-to-date. With no comparison document or revision document it is difficult to demonstrate to our customers why we should roll to the latest specifications. When we do finally get a requirements change we find the requirements have changed again! I don't want to stop progress, or even slow it down. I think all the changes are for the best in the long run, but management of the changes with revision documents, providing the reason for change, would make life a lot easier.

To add a little more information to the discussion: The fluoride will continue to damage the skin and bone structure until such time as it is neutralized . The stand procedure agreed to by medical personnel is the subcutaneous of Calcium Gluconate. This must occur either between the burn and the bone or on the surface of the bone. Either prospect is not considered enjoyable. Because of the relatively large amount of solution used. ( 10-40) cc of solution per injection and the large gauge needle required it becomes a quite uncomfortable experience to say the least. Even with quick and complete neutralization there is severe scaring and usually a large hard knot of tissue forms under the epidermal layer , quite akin to a large cyst. The whole procedure is neither fun or pretty for anyone. Concentrated Fluoride acid compounds should be handled with caution and respect. The effects in the event of bodily contact can be severe with all acid compounds and as such proper protective clothing should be utilized. As with any chemical reaction the placing of an opposing compound on the skin will result in a chemical reaction. Neutralization solutions are usable for some parts of the body provided there is sufficient quality of sufficiently weak ionic strength as to preclude further damage from reaction by products( heat, gas generation etc. ) Many minor chemical burns have changed into major injuries and loss of life due to trying to neutralize with an opposite compound. Many an Eye has been lost because of the accepted practice of using a little squeeze bottle with 8-12 oz. of fluid in it. My question to someone when i see those is "WHICH EYE ARE YOU GOING TO TRY AND SAVE ? , SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN"T SAVE BOTH. I will always recommend the immediate and first course of action in any bodily contact with a process chemistry of the level of hazard associated with any concentrate whether it Acid or Base, to remove any contaminated articles of clothing including shoes ,watches and rings, and immediately apply copious amounts of fresh running water. for 15 minutes. Cold water while less able to remove some materials than hot water , will slow the blood circulation to the skin surface as well as assure that the pores are closed to further inhibit the absorption of the chemical if it is a systematic poison . then administer follow-up first aid based on the compound. This time allows several things to occur , the material is constantly being diluted and removed. The mind of the victim is somewhat occupied and it allows time for the paramedics to arrive. If they get there before the 15 minutes is up then make them wait. A quick word on rinsing of an accident victim , it requires two people to help the victim. Especially if it is in the eyes. One person is going to have to steady the victim and many times hold them, the other will be needed to hold the eye lid of the victim open to assure complete and thorough rinsing. ( don't forget to continually talk to them and tell them to roll their eyes to assure transfer of the fluid from the rear of the orbital socket. ) To promote fear amongst the operators handling this material WILL INVARIABLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. Simple education and teaching of preventative techniques will assure confidence and skill in the persons handling any chemical. Lastly PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. if you have materials that may be spilled on a person or the floor , practice what the procedures are, who does what where the proper devices are. Have a disaster drill just like a fire drill. It takes just a few minutes to prepare, and it could save an eye or a lifetime of disfigurement , or even a life. ( Remember what you learn at work would also work at home with children and family members. ) If you have any further questions I would be most happy to discuss them with you. Just a little food for thought to put this whole thing in perspective: The mercury in 1 laboratory thermometer evaporated on the pitchers mound in Yankee Stadium , is enough to contaminate all the air contained ( if you put a roof on it ) in 8 hours. The air would violate the OSHA /NIOSH standards.

Bev's description of the toxicology of HF exposure to skin is pretty accurate. I've worked with a lot of concentrated acids, and HF is by far the scariest. I think Bev and I have a serious understanding of the chemistry. Any acidic solution containing F- is dangerous and can cause burns, that may not seem so bad at first. The problem is that the burns don't heal, they get worse with time and may eventually attact bone. F- ties up calcium ions in tissue, and since Ca+ is needed for tissue repair, the tissue deteriorates. The medical treatment for F- burns is subcutaneous injections of calcium salts. This information can be found in the MSDS for acidic fluoride salts and good laboratory safety manuals. All, One more liitle piece of infomation about fluoride burns. As the HF ties of the Calcium in your blood, it form a salt in your viens and arteries. If you don't get those injections of Calcium salt within about an hour or so, there is no way to remove that salt from your viens. It collects in your heart and you die within about 24 hours. it isn't a very pleasant way to die.

Dougal, Guess it is a USA thing. We just have it too good over here. No, I don't work for a fab or assembly house. I am a captive board designer and a telecomm company who deals with numerous fab houses. We must have it really good over here, because I can actually get fab shops to cut major costs out of their quotes because there is SO much competition. I have never talked to anyone from GE, and don't personally care what they have to tell me, because THEY don't make my boards. I get to the meat of the matter, and for me it doesn't cost me a cent more to go with GETEK. Wish you luck, but I'm afraid I can't help you. Maybe others in your predicament (the UK) can help you out with suggestions?

I don't know what b********t people tell you in the US of A, but whenever the guys from GE talk to me they say that the material is more expensive (has to be, it's new and better!) and the processing is not the same as FR4 - the bond cycle is extremely tortuous and is at least 2x the length of an FR4 cycle. In my book, this means that there are additional costs, and you should expect to pay more. I assume that Mr.Morey is from an assembly, not Fab facility, so why don't you ask your supplier what he thinks about the cost, and don't listen to the GE sales guy who only wants you to specify his material. sorry if this upsets the people at GE Dougal Dougal Stewart Product Development Manager Viasystems Selkirk Ltd Selkirk, Scotland, TD7 5EJ Tel: +44 1750 21601 Fax:+44 1750 22513 email [log in to unmask] This statement is a personal view and does not neccessarily reflect the views of my employer. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

We were using FR-4 to an upper channel freq of 860 MHz for analog and an upper of 1 GHz for ECL based digital. Now this is no absolute. I met some designers that wouldn't take FR-4 above about 300 or 400 MHz, but that was their situation. Our situation with the boards for the analog 850 stuff had it's downside. There could be a variance of anywhere from 1 to 2 dB of signal on the same board. This all depended greatly upon the mfr'ing processes used and that in turn all depended upon what exactly the board houses were told by the customer in making the boards. I'll stick my neck out and say as with anything, if the proper information is given and someone is willing to pay any amount of money for quality checks, you could take FR-4 as high as you want.

I recently had the question posed to me "we have a concern about the possibility of autocatalytic corrosion in vias due to residual RMA flux activator due to tenting of one side of the vias; what corrosion rate might we expect". I am familiar with the term "autocatalytic corrosion" as it applies to crevice corrosion in stainless steels exposed to aerated chloride solution. This is where chloride ion diffuses into the crevice and is regenerated as freshly generated metal chloride hydrolyzes to chloride and insoluble metal hydroxide. As chloride concentration increases so does corrosion rate. Apparently this can also occur in copper and other metals. I don't think this is the case with via corrosion since the chloride concentration is fixed. My approach was to assume the activator is diethylamine hydrochloride, which I assume hydrolyzes into hydrochloric acid. I also assumed that the acceptance limit of 1.55 micrograms per square centimeter NaCl equivalent (MIL-STD-2000A) was the coverage within the via. I next assumed that the via was filled with rinse water and that 99.5% of this water evaporated. This left (fortuitously) 0.1N HCl in the via, for which Uhlig and Revie happen to give an initial current density for copper electrode of 2E-3 A/sq meter. I assumed this rate of reaction remains unimpeded (i.e., no polarization) and calculated time to penetrate 4 mils of Cu. I got about 20 years. I must admit that I assumed NO amine-caused stress corrosion cracking and no other fast reactions. Does anyone have experience or alternate analytical approach? ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Try adding scrap metal that is more active (see the EMF series in your old chemistry book) than iron or lead, perhaps zinc, aluminum or magnesium to displace these heavier (hazardous) metals from solution. 2. Try to use a chelating agent, e.g., sodium EDTA to capture ("chelate") the metals. An Industrial water purification company like Kinetico can help. 3. Consider electrowinning (i.e., electroplating) the metals from solution using a coulometric method (i.e., voltage varies until plating occurs, then drops in voltage until the next metal plates out, etc.).

My local SMTA chapter is having a Rework Symposium next month where we are asking rework suppliers who are participating in a vendor day to be prepared to rework a few specific components. Our committee thought it would be nice if we could give each attendee a common rework board to take around for demonstrations. I've been shopping around for low cost alternatives from PCB houses. It would really help if I could find someone to just lay the surface artwork out on CAD. It's nothing fancy...4 unique component land patterns and a handful of chip lands. Does anyone know of a fab house that might be willing to do it for cost (or less????) - they can advertise their name on the PCB as a sponsor. Any ideas on dummy component suppliers other than Topline? We're trying to keep the cost as low as possible otherwise we won't be able to do it. Can anyone help?

The governing members of your IPC have tasked the IPC staff to provide the support with obtaining IPC publications that the electronics industry needs. To accomplish this end, Customer Support (under the team leadership of Jean Jones) will make every effort to provide any current or previously published IPC document that is requested. The first effort of Customer Service will be to advise requesters when a revision or change has occurred which now makes the document different than what was originally requested. If the requester is certain that they need/want an older version, Customer Service will coordinate with the appropriate IPC department to provide a copy of the requested document. Note that it MAY only be possible to provide black and white copies of some older color documents. The following information will provide a basic understanding of the numbering changes. For several years your IPC has been involved with IEC, an international (primarily European) standards development association. Once again, based on direction from governing members of IPC, a decision was made to shift FROM IPC UNIQUE document numbering and formatting schemes TO an internationally accepted schemes. This is being phased in based on MAJOR document revisions. As anyone involved with development of standards and specifications is aware, the process is never easy and the bigger the scope, the harder it is to get industry consensus on the whole document. For this reason, when complex documents enter the revision process, they are reviewed to see if they can be broken down into sections to facilitate development and approval. The IPC numbering scheme was merely sequential and the actual numbers usually had no obvious meaning. The international scheme provides four-number blocks in which the first two numbers point to a GENERAL purpose/function. 22nn numbers refer to PWB design. 60nn numbers refer to PWB performance. The last two digits of the block are unique to a "family" of documents with a SPECIFIC purpose/function. The first document in the family will always end in "0". This document will typically be only a few pages and serves the purpose to establish and define that specific family of documents. (This document has no value to the end user, typically will not be published, but can be made available on request.) The primary document in the family will end in "1" and will establish the "generic" requirements that will apply to ALL THE OTHER DOCUMENTS IN THE FAMILY. Examples are IPC-2221 for design requirements for all PWBs, and 6011 for performance requirements for all PWBs. These documents will NOT CONTAIN ANYTHING UNIQUE TO ONLY ONE KIND of PWB. None of this information will be repeated in the other documents so when it is updated, it won't automatically require that other documents be updated also. Other documents in the family will be unique to, in the example above, specific PWBs. IPC-2222 is the design document for Rigid PWBs WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH IPC-2221. IPC-6011 and IPC-6012 together provide the performance requirements for rigid PWBs. I'm shooting from the hip now because I'm on the road and don't have the documents handy to reference, but I think I remember that IPC-6011 and 6013 are all that a user needs to identify the performance requirements for flex print boards. Other family documents are in development, but the whole effort wasn't held up for the few parts. There is some arbitration on the part of the governing members and Dave Bergman, VP of Technical Programs prior to the decision to renumber documents. For example, IPC-A-600 and IPC-A-610 are in revision and will not be renumbered during this effort; they will only increment one revision letter. The component mounting document IPC-A-770 is becoming IPC-7070 through 7078 (7075 for BGAs, 7078 for Flip-Chip components.) IPC-R-700C became 7711 for Rework of Electronic Assemblies (remove and replace components) and 7721 for Repair and Modification of Printed Boards (laminate, conductors, pads and plated through hole repair/mod.) This got longer that I had hoped. If you have any specific questions, please reply to me OFFNET ONLY.

I also work for a high frequency material supplier and have come across designs that use FR4 at 2 GHz and PTFE materials at 880 MHz. The case is that each application is different and there is no set limit at which one type of material ends and the other starts. One trend we have seen is that if the application is digital, the switch to high performance materials is sooner. The reason is that a square signal is made of of a series of sine waves with a fundamental and a series of harmonics. When the dielectric constant of a material changes vs frequency (which FR4 does), the speed of each components is different. Faster rise times create the need for higher level harmonics and these can start getting quite high into the RF/microwave range (where dielectric losses are quite critical). Hope this helps.

Effective dielectric constant of a material changes vs frequency, no matter what the dielectric is. When frequency increases, the effective dielectric constant would get close to the material dielectric constant. The reason why we have the effective dielectric constant is due to the E-field trapped into the substrate. By the way, does someone know about any news group or web sites about Microwave or High frequency stuff. KC Chan IMS > ---------- > From: Arturo J.

Suggest Zestron, Armakleen, Kyzen although there are many others. This should allow the aged residues to become more "washable" and you should clean thoroughly and re-test. Are your products Class 1, 2 or 3? If 3, you really ought to start again and wash ASAP after any soldering operation. CSL, Robisan or Trace labs would be good contacts to review the issue in more depth. Hope this helps.

This is probably due to residues from RMA solder paste. The boards are washed after wave soldering with water/detergent, but there is no intermediate cleaning after the reflow soldering. It takes a couple of days before the reflow soldered boards are wave soldered, so the paste-flux is not very cleanable anymore.I've heard so often that bad cleaning of RMA is much worse than good cleaning or no cleaning.

Maximo" <[log in to unmask]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, The activity level of the flux in your solder paste influences the extent of solder balling. As the activity level increases, the wetting force should increase and the solder should have a greater attraction to the pads and to itself. Some solder pastes tend to ball more than others. If you are using one of the modern no-clean products which are on the edge of 10*8 ohms, (if not under) then you should be able to get away with 1 to 1, but older no-cleans with lower activity levels certainly require reductions. Why not tell us what paste you are using and someone is bound to be able to tell you straight away if you can get away with it.

I have a few questions about IPC 2222 page 11 figure 4-2. For good electricals and high CTI, FR-6 or CRM-5 should be used. Does CTI mean Comparitive Tracking Index and if so what is the definition of it ? We have never heard before about FR-6. What kind of materials are FR-6 and CRM-5 ? I hope sombody can help me out with these questions.

There are fixtures (and services) that exist to accomplish this, and many have been discussed on TechNet in the past, so you could search the archives for "BGA Reballing". The folks that I have dealt with for this are Rich Sentner at Singularity Electronic Systems (603) 430-6000 and Rich Breault at Netco Automation (978) 372-7715. It's very straightforward, and I wouldn't think you will have any problems making the "components".

Etec and Orbotech both have imagers that can do this. I understand CREO also showed a new imager of this type. I'm not familiar with the Direct Laser Writing, but I don't get very close to MCM applications.

The two do not go hand in hand. I have seen some fabricators doing it one way, others doing it the other. If you put a light red oxide on, you get great bond/peel strength, but to get a reliable oxide reduction, you have to have a heavy oxide, read BLACK (>0.5mg/square inch), and you do not get great bond/peel strength at this oxide weight. And the reduction process tends to weaken the bond some also. Can we send you literature on recommended processes for each? Turns out that there is a patented way to increase the bond strength of an oxide at any weight, and we own that technology.

The only real difference between "red" oxide and "black" oxide is in the concentrations of the caustic and oxidizer; the actual chemicals are the same. A reduced oxide also works just fine for polyimide, as long as you are using a reduced "red" or "brown" oxide formulation. 2) Despite what an earlier posting has said, although permanganate (when used in conjunction with a sweller, either a butyl-caustic or a pyrol-type) works VERY well for conventional polyimide, the MDA-free polyimides are not attacked very well by a permanganate process. If etchback is required, it will be almost mandatory to use a plasma. It is common to follow plasma with permanganate to get the surface microroughening that plasma has difficulty in providing. 3) SEMs will be required to verify roughening of the resin. Once again, topography will be a real challenge if using MDA-free polyimide.

Variations imply that the same PCB can call for all or only components to be assembled. When it is required to assemble a variation that excludes a components, the stencil used in applying solder paste will "hide" the pads. The OSP is pratically gone at the end of the process.

It possible that it is rooted in your film (since this is a different film than the plotter film), but I'd look first at the contacting process. It is quite possible that the film is getting distorted in the exposure step, as Paul suggested. In general, I recommend that you use a contact frame designed for film-to-film contacting, such as those used in the graphic arts (printing) industry. Trying to use a resist printer (which was designed for thicker panels and larger volume air evacuation) often results in dimensional stability problems. Also, some designs of contact printer work better than others. Many newer designs put high emphasis on rapid air evacuation to give short vacuum drawdown times. They do this by various methods of applying pressure to push the air out. Some of these can produce machanical distortion of the film at the same time. Some work fine. I suggest the following: 1. Be sure your contacting film is equlibrated the same way your plotting film is. 2. Use a stiff, black, matted, plastic backup sheet behind your film when you expose it. This will tend to protect the film from mechanical distortions. These are available commercially in the U.S. through graphic arts suppliers. I am uncertain about availability in Japan. 3. Use adequate drawdown time to insure complete air evacuation. One to two minutes may be required on some contact frames. Run a test to determine what your frame needs. 4. In order to separate size changes that occur during exposure verus those that occur during processing, it is possible to expose a piece of film, apply developer to the areas that contain the fiducials with a cotton swab, then fix the fiduals by applying fixer with a cotton swab. Now turn on the lights and carefully rinse the processed areas with another cotton swab containing water. Allow the film to dry before measuring it. If you still can't find the cause of your size change, send me a note directly with the details of your process (type of contact frame, type of film, process steps, etc.) and we'll spend some time tracking it down.

But, your range is huge. Is this SMT only? Mixed tech? IXNEY ON THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS, eh? This is not brain surgery. After all this time, why isn't there a standard pattern or series of patterns that can be used to calibrate the process? Maybe in the form of coupon? Once the process is verified "in control" it is easy to extrapolate and project adjacent thickness on varying pad geometries. To get you in the ballpark, a 25mil pitch QFP should be able to maintain a range of; 300 micro in. plus or minus 200 micro in. So...thats half a mil at the top of the range and 100 micro in. at the bottom. if you need more specific info, contact me directly. ps: I hope someone out there sees the value in standardizing this important process. It's gonna be around for awhile. mark ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

The closer to the surface the trace is the more the dieletric of air (1.0) is effective in the propagation of signals. Traces burried between two ground planes "see" the dieletric of the FR-4 material only. IPC-2141 has a nice discussion of this as well as dieletric constants of various PWB materials (including FR-4) as a function of frequency and the formulas to compute effective dieletric constant for various PWB configurations.

However, I also found it was really tough to tell if the OSP was present or not after multiple exposures. I'd be interested to know exactly how this is tested. Either way, I don't think it really mattered much whether the OSP was present. People felt better thinking it was. Exposed copper was more of a cosmetic or perception condition than a reliability concern. The hardest thing is convincing folks that exposed copper is OK. Remember that this is old information and certain situations or conditions may prove this wrong for certain applications.

A typical trace and/or pad is built with a design for a minimum conduction amount, both heat and electrical characteristics are calculated based on a thickness of copper. Alter the copper thickness and/or purity, by oxidation for instance, and you alter the characteristics of the circuit, which may lead to subsequent field failures.

Sincerely, Brian Geijsbeek<< Hello there Brian, Okay...here ya' go, first, get some 80-grit sandpaper, then use a lotta elbow grease, and sand them pesky balls offa the board!! What's that? Whaddya mean no way? Awwwww......you're no fun!! Seriously, it sounds to me like you do got one heck of a solderball problem if it's bad enough for them to ding a stainless steel metal squeegee. It also sounds to me like the fab shop that built these boards for you did something that's causing the solder balls from the via's. I'm guessing now because you didn't actually mention it, but did they HASL the board and then go back and tent the via's? Because if that's what's happened, there's no way your going to get all the balls off...what's happening is that the plating is reflowing beneath the mask and then out gassing thru a break in the via tent and giving you the little balls that you're seeing... some of them are going to be bonded to the anular pads, and others are just adhered to the mask. The ones that are bonded to any metal are the ones that are tough to remove. But moreover, what I would be concerned about is not just the solderball problem you're seeing, (because it sounds to me like you're building product with these fabs) but what's going on inside that little cavity that's been somewhat enclosed by soldermask...is there any flux or flux residues trapped in there? Something to worry about... You know, I've only seen this sort of thing happen when they've put mask plugs on both sides of the board tenting the via's...that's not necessary, only one side of the board needs to be tented (if it's being done for improving vacuum at ICT).

While solder paste spreading will vary from paste to paste and OSP to OSP, no one has ever(to my knowledge) determined that the exposed copper caused a long term reliability problem.

I have come across this problem a couple of times. Some people seems to believe that certain patterns on a PCB will result in this defect due to a galvanic reaction. I however believe that this problem lies in the activation step prior to nickel.It is enough if a single palladium atom is attached on a trace, then everything in contact with this trace will be nickel plated. If no palladium is attached, yes, then nothing in the closed circuit will be plated.The reason why the activation step fails can have it`s reasons. One is if soldermask residues is present. And another is that the immersion time is to short. I might be wrong stating this, it`s just a theory.

Most of the time, in my experience, shininess of the joint is related to grain structure - the finer the grain structure of the joint the shinier the appearance and, accordingly, the grainier the joint, the duller the joint. Finer grain growth can be promoted by quicker cooling of the joint, particularly once you are past the solidus temperature (183 C in 63/37 and 179 C in 2% Ag). This is accomplished with the cooling modules on the reflow equipment. Some machines, particularly older or lesser expensive models are only equipped with fans on the off-load and these are blowing ambient temp air on the board. Cooling modules incorporate heat exchanger systems and blow cooled air on the board, directly after reflow and thus expedite cooling. Be careful not to cool too rapidly - generally I suggest keeping your speed limit during cooling the same as you used during heating. If you heat at a max of 4 deg. C per second, you should cool no faster than -4 deg. C per sec. Regards, Phil Zarrow ITM, Inc.

Galvanic reactions In-Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT I seen this problem a couple of years ago whilst using an Atotech E.Ni/ I.Au plating line (apologies to Atotech). However, rather than the galvanic effect mentioned, the problem was found to be occuring due to 2 factors, firstly when the palladium catalyst was made up, palldium was added directly to D.I. water rather than adding the sulphuric acid first. This affected solubility of the palladium. The second factor was that the concentration of the nickel dipped to below 70% at times when the E.Ni bath would be frantic. I hope this helps.

Next thing would be to check the exposure time - are you over exposing?...a step wedge should clear this up, and figures for the Lea Ronal effective step should be found in the data sheet. Then try the concentrate on the developing solution...typical concentration should be around 1-1.5%, and also do a Ph check.

They do chip packaging / MCMs / FLIP CHIPS etc where they manufacture a circuit board using an additive process on top of the chip die with a top layer of flexible plated bumps rather then solder bumps ( requiring no under-fill on Flip Chips ), either gold or copper plated which you solder onto boards using standard SMT processes. They do approx. 1 mil lines / spaces / and vias giving you the density to minimize the layer counts.

There are fixtures (and services) that exist to accomplish this, and many have been discussed on TechNet in the past, so you could search the archives for "BGA Reballing". The folks that I have dealt with for this are Rich Sentner at Singularity Electronic Systems (603) 430-6000 and Rich Breault at Netco Automation (978) 372-7715. It's very straightforward, and I wouldn't think you will have any problems making the "components".

I have been reading the net correspondence with interest over the last month. I think that some of the processing associated with BGA spheres may be relavent to my problem. I am working on my PhD research project which is exploring the melting and spreading behavior of an initially solid solder sphere placed on copper substrates held at an elevated temperature in a gaseous formic acid/nitrogen environment. I have been working mostly with tin and 63Sn/37Pb solder and am now trying solder spheres with higher lead content. The sphere sizes that I am using are between 25 and 35 mils in diameter. I found that with the tin and tin-lead eutectic that some pretreatment of the spheres yield more consistent melting/spreading behavior. To pretreat my spheres, I place 20-30 spheres in a 50 ml beaker with an RMA flux at 110-120C for 10 minutes followed by a series of rinses to get the flux off. Since the flux did not go up to the solder reflow temperature it is fairly easy to get off. First the spheres are rinsed in 3 successively cleaner isopropyl alcohol baths at 50-60C (total time 20 minutes) then are put in a final rinse of 30-40C methanol for 10 minutes followed by blowdrying with nitrogen. When I pretreat the high lead content spheres using this method, I see the spheres darkening as I rinse them...especially when I get to the methanol. The resulting melting and spreading of these spheres is non-uniform. When I melt them, it appears that they have an oxide skin on them. I am continuing to tinker with the rinse process times and solvents to see if I can get a combination that works. I the mean time, I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas. I am looking for a sphere pretreatment scheme that will eliminate the oxide skin and not have any residues on the sphere surface. The process should not cause preferential etching of the tin or the lead on the sphere surface. PS...A while back, as I was developing the my sphere pretreatment process, I tried using a commercial solder brightener product followed by a DI water rinse on the 63Sn/37Pb spheres and it didn't really provide the consistency I had hoped for. I was going to try this again with the high lead content spheres. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

You would need to evaluate the susceptibilty of your assembly to salt and moisture. This is probably only a concern if you are in a harsh environment. You can try a real easy experiment by putting a 5-10V bias between two adjacent copper conductors and place a drop of salt between them and let it sit for a while and watch what happens.

A little Sodium Sulfide will remove any remaining lead to meet limits. Iron can be remove selectively from some solutions, for example, chrome plating solutions are purified using a cation resin. A lot depends on the valence of the iron and the other ions in solution.

Today, as a matter of practice, we have exposed copper on IC leads, especially when they are plated as opposed to dipped. I would ask myself, what would happen in extreme usage of the application-that is, if you're building boards for use in a PC desktop, the interior is not generally exposed to airborne acids or extremes in temperatures. Alternatively, if your application is for use in waste water treatment plants where all kinds of airborne contaminants exist, then one may be rightly concerned. As a matter of pragmatic thinking, we, as an industry, need to get used to exposed copper. The IC industry is quickly moving to copper interconnects on their products, and only hermetic packages can guarantee no exposed copper...

If that is the case and you are using mechanical screening such as a DP10 which applies higher squeegee pressures than hand screening, then what your seeing is not unusual.Take a close look at the residual soldermask and see if it has a dot pattern and spacing the same as the mesh in your screen printer. I have seen this on LPI's from many different suppliers. The mask forms a "compression bond" to the surface of the Sn/Pb when screened and will not release during development. We worked with our suppler in the formulation and formulation processing steps to solve the problem. Regards Michael Barmuta Staff Engineer Fluke Corp.

The cleaning processes you have briefly described would more likely induce oxidation rather than remove it from the spherical surface. When you have a non-uniform sphere geometry after liquidus, it is most likely due to the oxidation concentration on the sphere or pad surface. However, if the spheres are not melted in an inert atmosphere the oxide skin may perpetuate your problems. One of the techniques that I use, and it has been extremely successful, is the use of a plasma cleaning process. There are a number of small reaction chambers on the market. I currently use a March Px1000 system for all development work. There are also hundreds of oxide reducing recipes already in existence however, you may just want to spend some time developing a custom recipe which will best fit your requirements. The following is an example recipe that I have had good results with: Gas 02 Pressure 90 mtorr Power 359 watts Process time 3 min Gas Flow rate 536 sccm Gas Ar Pressure 150 mtorr Power 250 watts Process time 2 min Gas Flow rate 100 sccm Remember that argon etches organic and oxygen cleans organic. With the argon etch atoms are elevated to a higher energy state which with physically displace organic molecules or atoms. Weight loss of the 63/37 may be as high as 0.62E-12 grams per mm2. With the oxygen atom will undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction converting surface organics to water and CO2. There is basically no mass (other than the organic) lost during this process. The trick with your application will be limiting the sputtering effect caused by large molecule inert gasses such as argon, while producing the cleaning effect necessary.

The humidity coefficient of expansion for uncoated base is 0.0008% per %RH for 7 mil polyester and 0.0009% per %RH for 4 mil polyester. A film product that consists of polyester base coated with relatively thin layers may have a higher humidity coefficient because these layers absorb moisture more readily than the polyester. Modern silver halide films have humidity coefficients in the range of 0.0009 - 0.0011% per %RH. The humidity coefficient of diazo film and thermal imaging film are typically in the range of 0.0008 - 0.0009% per %RH. I don't believe it is possible to have a film whose structure is 90%+ polyester with a CTE that is significantly less than the polyester itself.

Unfortunately from my experience, I've found that these issues are independent of each other (unless you drop a board in a pile of dog poop in the plating room). In reference to handling damage. As a customer, you do not want any incoming to you. As a manufacturer, Your transport characteristics (slip sheeting, automation, operator traing/attitude, etc.) in conjunction with the technology of the product (4 layer 062 thick using a .028 core, 1 ounce copper versus 12 layer 062 using .004" mil core with 1/4 ounce copper, line width of .010" versus .003" etc.) will dictate your final results. I guess I've always viewed handling damage as a training/attitude issue. There should be NONE, but accidents do happen. I guess to make a short story long, Your handling will probably be organization dependent. I didn't even get into what would be considered a "handling" defect because sometimes "handling" can be a catch all. Now that I've bored the stuffing out of you with that, handling typically plays a small role in contamination (key word- TYPICALLY), and is more related to the materials/process areas (soldermask type and curing level/technique, resin to glass ratio of laminate, fluxes and cleaning material such as aqueous versus semi aqueous, dwell time at soldercoat, blah, blah, blah;). Also, contamination needs further definition, particulate, ionic, non ionic, etc. The bottom line to the contamination question is that standards have been set ranging from 1mg/cm2 to 10mg/in2 for ionic as well as SIR (surface insulation resistance) numbers in the 10 to the 8th Megohm range (sorry if i'm off here, been a while for me, and the memory is the second thing to go). I hope that I helped muddy the water for you on this, and I do apologize if I seem to have no conclusive answer, but I am not truly aware of one and wanted to babble for a while (keeps my hands busy). SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I was hoping to give you some insight as to what I have seen and others should have some interesting comments as well (please do not beat me up too bad on my answers, it seems to be the first response to build on) JOHN WAITE Stephen Ayotte wrote: > I have a coworker who has asked me the following question: > > "As a function of the number of times that a part is handled is there any type > of model or tool that can be used to predict the amount of handling damage and > or contamination that would occur." > > This would be for a typical factory environment and for equipment and > inspection operators, not in a clean room environment with lab coats, masks and > gloves. > > Thanks. > > Stephen Ayotte, IMD Product Quality Engineer > Phone (607) 755-1537, t/l 855-1537 > Pager (607) 755-7243 Pin #863 - external, 5-8888 Pin 2863 - internal > Fax (607) 755-4649 > Stephen Ayotte > IMD Product Quality Engineer.

I've seen a lot about the Ohmega-Ply mat'l, and our vendor will do it for us, but I'm concerned about the costs, especially since I need only about 1 dozen resistors. A lot of people have mentioned thick film technologies such as carbon. How have the experiences been with this as a resistor? What sort of tolerances can you hold, especially since it seems you have to screen them on? Are there other application methods or materials? Also, since we need our resistor on an internal layer, would we be able to laminate other layers on top of it without affecting its performance? If anyone has practical experience with this, I'd love to hear it. Also, as a short term prototype (rather than the buried resistors), I'd like to be able to have a multilayer circuit, but just leave a hole between the outer layer and layer 2. It seems like it wouldn't be very feasible to laminate it with a hole (although if it would, I'd certainly consider it if someone can tell me how), so I was thinking it might just be easiest to laser drill through the outer dielectric layer. Is it possible to burn away a quarter inch square area of dielectric and leave the circuitry untouched. How hard is this to do? Thanks for the help...

If from your company internally, it is time to call the oven manufacturer to come out and service your oven. If it came from the oven manufacturer, it is time to consider getting a new oven. , I think it is the former. One of the key tests I use when evaluating reflow ovens is load testing. The oven must perform the same regardless if there is one board in it or a constant load of boards. Most present day convection dominant ovens are "load capable" with good heat transfer capacity. I hope the HVN is one of them. What you are doing is totally unnecessary with the majority of ovens that I have tested. Definitely contact the manufacturer as soon as possible.

We have a product that has a spec on the plating material and refers to IPC-TM-650 method 2.5.14, however this method is for copper foil, not plating. Is there a reason our customer might want a resistivity spec on just the plating? Doesn't it make more sense to spec the final material (copper foil plus plating), in which case, method 2.5.14 would work? Prior to plating, the gold is in solution. Is there a resistivity test method for solution form? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Gregory" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: 1206 jumper X-To: [log in to unmask] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi Rob, I guess the first question would be what type of epoxy are you using? If it's loctite, and it's 3609, the strength at high temperatures passes the test they use to qualify it as a SMT adhesive for wave soldering, but there are other loctite epoxy formula's that have much higher percentages of the cure strength at elevated temperatures than 3609 does...the reason I jumped on 3609 first is because that's what a lot of people use. At 150 degrees C., 3609 only has about 10% of it's normal cure strength...enough to qualify as a SMT adhesive, but may not be enough for your application. I imagine that little puppy you're putting on the backside gets a little hotter, a lot quicker than a regular ol' resistor or capacitor does... does solder wet to the whole component? Maybe the wetting forces are enough to overcome what little strength is there. 3612, and 3614 are two formula's that retain near 70% of it's cure strength at 150 C., but it's designed for stenciling according to Loctite spec's...so it may not perform well if dispensed. By the way, you can check all the spec's at Loctite's WEB page; www.loctite.com One last comment, there must be a reason that you're using iron/nickle jumpers huh? High power or something like that? But if there's no special reason, just use zero ohm resistors...or even better yet, if you can change the board there's two ways you can put something there to avoid having to place anything there at all. One way, is that if you have to place a jumper at almost all of the jumper locations on the assembly, why not design a trace in to connect the two pads and then use an exacto knife or a dremel to configure the few jumpers that ARE supposed to be open. One other idea is to design the two jumper pads close enough together and in such a way that they bridge when they go across the wave, but won't bridge if some epoxy is dispensed and cured at the centroid or a apex of whatever pattern you want to put there...they could be pads, or some sort of trace pattern. At least you wouldn't have to worry about putting a part there... Just a few thoughts... -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

We were using Heraeus 86002SP glue. We found that the epoxy used to manufacture the diodes still had a small amount of the mold release compound. We switched to Heraeus PD955M which has a higher shear factor and it solved the problem. Granted, you are using metal 1206 jumpers, but the solution may be as simple as changing the type of glue.

Polyclad, Nelco, AlliedSignal, etc. can provide technical literature discussing DSTF or RTF. It is not necessarily a drop in product. Precleaning is different, lamination can be different, hold times, rework, and possibly oxide are processes that need to be optimized.

E-Mail Forum Participation Rules: As a e-mail forum subscriber, there are two kinds of activities you can = perform: *Post an e-mail message to the forum, or *Administer your subscription = status=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posting to the forum: To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the forum, = just send mail to <forum name>=40ipc.org .=20 NOTE: Use the e-mail forum name you want to reach in place of the <forum = name> string in the above instructions. EXAMPLE: TO:<forum name>=40ipc.org SUBJECT:<your subject>MESSAGE:<your = message> Please note that sometimes you may receive non-delivery notification = messages from users on the forum who are having problems with their mail systems. These = messages are sent to you by default as to the originator of the message, and can be = safely ignored. As long as you receive the notification of the message distributio= n to the forum from the server (LISTSERV=40ipc.org), there is no reason to be = concerned about your message not being delivered to the forum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Administering your subscription status: All commands (such as subscribe and signoff) must be sent to LISTSERV=40ipc= .org . You must never try to send any command to mail forum address (i.e. <forum = name>=40ipc.org), as it will be distributed to all the subscribers.=20 Also, please note that no other text, such as electronic signature, etc., = should be present in the messages to LISTSERV=40IPC.ORG. If your email program = automatically appends your signature to the message, please remove it.=20 Example for subscribing:=20 TO:LISTSERV=40IPC.ORGSUBJECT: MESSAGE:subscribe TechNet Joseph H. Smith Example for signing off: TO:LISTSERV=40IPC.ORGSUBJECT: MESSAGE:signoff DesignerCouncil NOTE: You must send messages to the forum address ONLY from the e-mail = address to which you want to apply changes. In other words, if you want to sign off = the mail list, you must send the SIGNOFF command from the address that you want = removed from the forum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Additional Commands: SET <forum name> <option> Command enables/disables a specified option.=20 EXAMPLE: TO:LISTSERV=40IPC.ORGSUBJECT: MESSAGE:SET TechNet nomail Please note that the commands, addresses and forum names are not case = sensitive, and you can send as many commands as you need in one message as long as they = are on separate lines. The available options are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options: Query This command returns your subscriber options. To be = executed correctly, the message must be sent from the address about which you are = making a query. The syntax is: QUERY <forum name> Also, wildcards are supported. For example, sending a command QUERY * will return a list of all forums to which you are subscribed, with all = subscriber options for these forums. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mail/Nomail Setting the NOMail option stops mail from the forumt to you, = but leaves you subscribed to the list. NOMail is often used by subscribers who are = leaving the office for vacation or an extended business trip, and do not want a full = mailbox when they return. Setting the Mail option is the complementary command that restarts mail = delivery from the forum to you. It does not alter the Digest/Index normal delivery = settings (see below). For example, to temporarily disable mail delivery from TechNet to your = address, send the following command: SET TechNet NOMAIL Please note, if you use an auto-responder while on vacation without = setting your subscription options to NOMail, your =22vacation=22 messages may bounce = back to the mail list and you may be =22served off=22 from the forum when you return. This = is because the server will be unable to process the message from your auto-responder and = will consider it an error. Being =22served off=22 simply means that any = commands you send to mail list will be ignored until the forum administrator restores your = normal status.=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Digest/Nodigest Setting the Digest option causes the subscriber to = receive one e-mail posting per digest cycle (typically daily) rather than individual = messages as they are processed by the mail list. Digest negates Index delivery mode, = enables mail delivery. Setting the NODigest option causes individual messages to be sent to the = subscriber. For example, to start receiving the TechNet messages in digest form, send = a following command: SET TechNet DIGEST ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index/Noindex Setting the Index option causes the subscriber to receive = one posting per digest cycle, containing only an index of subject topics for all = messages during that cycle. Instructions on how to retrieve the individual postings are = included with the index. Index negates Digest delivery mode and enables mail delivery. Setting the NOIndex option causes individual messages to be sent to the = subscriber. For example, to start receiving TechNet messages in index form, send the = following command: SET TechNet INDEX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Search This command allows you to search a database of all previous = postings to the specified forum. The syntax is: SEARCH <search string> IN <forum name>=20 For example, to search TechNet for gold plating, send the following = command: SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet Adding SINCE <date> after the forum name will impose the time constraints = on your search, i.e., command=20 SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet SINCE 97/01/01 will search all postings since January 1=27st 1997. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ACK/NOACK When you send a message, the server responds with a confirmatio= n message, saying that =22your message was delivered to the forum, etc.=22, but, by = default, the copy of your message is NOT sent to you. In other words, when you send a = message to the forum, you do not receive it back as a posting. However, you can = change this default for yourself by setting following options: ACK - A short confirmation message is sent to the sender of the posting = (default) NOACK - No posting acknowledgment is sent Repro/NORepro REPRO - You receive a copy of your own postings NOREPRO - You do not receive a copy of your own postings For example, to receive both confirmation of the posting and the posting = itself for your TechNet submission, send a command: SET TECHNET REPRO To receive only your posting but not the posting acknowledgment: SET TECHNET NOACK SET TECHNET REPRO ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THANKS You can send this command to see if the server is alive, and the = messages to and from the server are delivered normally.The server politely responds, = =22You=27re welcome=21=22. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More features and functionality will be added later.

EIA-625 states"Essential materials/items, during normal / intended use, shall not cause stsatic voltages greater than +/- 200 volts to be within twelve (12) inches of unprotected ESDS devices. What is your electrical failure rate on these components after placement?. You may not have a problem if you don't experience a large fall out in electrical test and your failure analysis does not indicate ESD as the failure cause. Latent failures may be indicatd by a higher than expected return rate due to failure of ESDS components. This failure should also be verified by failure analysis.

We completely filled the oven with material, and measured several places to insure that the oven reacted to different loading conditions. The gains, offsets, etc. for the controllers were set to react promptly to changes in the loading. We have a very small oven (4 zones). I do have problems with loading down the heaters if I run very large boards. When you send the first board through, it doesn't react fast enough, and then when it does react, it overshoots for the next board. Luckily, most of our hybrids are 1 inch x 1 inch, so I don't have problems. Your 7 zone production oven should not have loading issues. Perhaps the vendor can help you out by calibrating the controllers to handle the type of loads that your are seeing. Dave Anderson Medtronic, Inc. >>> <[log in to unmask]> 05/28/98 09:56am >>> All, Hello again...ready for another question from a newbie?? Again, I am getting some information about convection reflow ovens that I do not necessarily buy into. We have a Conceptronic HVN-102 7 zone reflow oven. We have been advised that during production runs, we will need to place 'buffer' circuit assemblies before and after each actual production assembly to properly load the heaters in our oven or, as we are told, our zone temps will drop to an unacceptable level. I am of the opinion that as long as each zone doesn't drop more than (help me here...fill in the blank) ___ Deg. C. then everything is good. Or as long as the board temperature profile is acceptable. I can understanding profiling the oven to understand what loading it can accept, but I don't expect our oven to experience any unacceptable loading on any one assembly that we may process. Any insight into this would be appreciated.

Why this would be a problem is because of the possibility that flux or some other contaminate entering beneath the mask from where it had flaked away, becoming trapped and not cleaned away. The fact that the copper is exposed is not the problem, but the broken mask is. So in short, this should be corrected by cleaning the area thoroughly ensuring that there are no contaminates trapped beneath the mask, and then spot repair the mask. -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Just my topic! FR1 is very similar to FR2, both are UL94-V0, both use a phenolic resin as binder. The only difference to FR2 is the phenolic resin, which is a different type. FR1 is mainly cold punchable and has a slightly better operation temperatur. Therefore, many laminate maker which produce FR1 do not produce FR2. Also, FR1 prices are the same as FR2. I consider myself as having some knowledge about laminates - still, I can't tell the difference between FR1 + FR2. FR4 is a glass epoxy material and is completly different.

It can also be done using an Instron or other large tensile tester, although the jig you may need to build to hold the board or partial board might be more interesting.

As signal frequency increases, the signal concentrates less and less in the center of the conductor and moves to the surface of the conductor. The amount of penetration in to the conductor is called the skin depth and is a function of frequency, permeability of the conductor, and resistivity of the conductor. To sum it up, at high enough frequencies, the plating may become the dominant conductor.

We have completed Rev 1 of a double Eurocard PCB, 10 Layers with 7 x 356 pin BGA devices on board. While everything went well with this run and we had no problems with ball connections, it is impossible to perform any rework or modifications if required. The footprint was the recommended pad with track out to a via or " Dog bone". On the next revision we would like to do the following, Elimnate the "dogbone", place a through hole in the actual pad for the ball and adjust the solder paste stencil so that the volume of paste deposited allows for the hole through the board. I would use a hole size of 0.3mm (12mil) to 0.4mm(16mil) certainly no larger. This approach should enable us to rework dodgy joints from the solder side of the PCB It will also allow us access possibly to test the pins from the BGA. Has anyone done this ? Was it succesfull in a production environment ? Many thanks foryour help. regards jeremy ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

The Z & G Land Pattern dimensions this device was layed out for are inset by a total of 0.6mm, when compared to the specifications outlined in the IPC-SM782 standard. In other words the pads need to come out by a further 0.3mm each side to meet the same specs as IPC. This is a fine pitch device, 0.635mm spacing between pads. Question 1: What effect would or could this have upon the assembly line? We use HAL finish. Ie. Could there be reliability problems with mounting the package? Question 2: Does this FP device require a better surface than a HAL finish, say Flash Gold or Alpha level? The reasons I am asking is because we are having boards comming in with faults. The fine pitch devices seem to be causing the most problems. One symptom we are experiencing is some pads on components are shiny, some are dull, even to the extent this would occur on the same package. Also connectors are troublesome. Our production boards don't appear to exibit the same problems, however, our assembly house confirm that they only temperature profile production boards, not these prototype ones. The particular board which is consistently causing trouble is a 6 layer SMT, processor board. Could ground planes in internal layers, underneath the devices cause heatsinking problems for HAL finished boards? Any thoughts or comments are most welcome.

We currently process Soldermask using P52 with 91h and aqueous systems, Taiyo,Carapace etc.. The main differance is the base chemistry, Probimer 52 is epoxy based where Taiyo, Tamura etc. are aqueous based. Yes, P52 is normally curtain coated, it also requires specific chemistry for developing (4-Butyrolacetone) which is a one part solvent which can be recliamed to reduce costs. Aqueous systems can use a sodium carbonate solution which is much cheaper. P52 has a "very" long exposure time up to 60 sec on 7kW ORC units, again aqueous systems require a lesser exposure time period on a 5kW lamp. Holding fine webs is also harder using P52, typically you will have to start adjusting exposure time v dev speed to achieve less than 6 thou webs. Taiyo will process 4 thou with only an increase in exposure time. Cure time for P52 is approx. 2 hours @ 150degC. Taiyo cures @ 150degC for 1 hour. So why use P52? On the plus side assembly shops are usually happy with the finish due to the resilient (hardness of 6+) and very matt finish (low to non existant solderballing). The electrical breakdown voltage is typically higher than 3kV which customers producing High volatge boards like. Aqueous systems are about 0.5 to 2 kV in my experience. One other point is cost, our experience shows that P52 can be more expensive per sq foot than an aqueous system. If you are looking to intrduce P52, then I would recommend 52CSM as the solvent carrier is less toxic and finer webs are easier to attain. If you require further info please email direct.

So good that I've erase mty own answer... A quick question : We are looking to move from PR 52 91 to PR 52C. You've mentioned it will make finer resolution. What can be really achieve with PR52C and under which conditions ?? Our experience of CSM is based upon a trial we conducted several months ago. The results showed an improved web perfomance with our current process for 52 with 91h. In reality I would expect 4thou webs to be the norm, and 2-3 thou achievable after adjustments to the process. Does it need a UV bump ? This will reduce exposure cycle time, I have been told by Ciba that a 50% reduction is not unrealistic, but, I would like to see that in use. Does it need 12-15 C developer temp. ? No, we ran perfectly well with 16-18 C, it may help with 2-3 thou webs though? Generally CSM performed better in a trial than standard 52. Long term evaluation however may highlight issues which dont appear in a trial. Hope this helps and good luck. Mark Gillan Process Engineer Prestwick Circuits Ltd, Scotland UK.

From the metaphor to the problem: Our board supplier is a very good one, I think, but our special= headache is not his, at least not yet. We design with Teflon-on-Brass plates (US-made). On the Teflon (in fact Teflon mixed with ceramic and glass etc) there is a Copper layer. This copper layer is etched and Nickel plated. Finally you put electrolytic Gold on. The process is such, that both the Nickel and the Gold becomes too hard for gold ball wire ultrasonic bonding. Wanted hardness is 100 HV. The hardness from supplier X is 450HV. The question is: what is possible to do in the board processing steps? I know that the chemistry of Nickel-and Gold baths is a mysterious world, current density plays a r=F4le, heat treatments also and a lot of other things. But we don't have the time to= experiment weeks and months. Is there someone with a woodpeck's experience?

You can ususally use a straightened paper clip to do this. Simply slide the straightened end into each individual hole and remove. The helps to remove any resist buildup that has been collecting. Remember take your time when you do this as you do not want to damage any of these holes.

I periodically get wrinkled resist on the trailing edge of the panels. The panels being laminated are 0.062" thick outer layers. The problem shows up as the trailing edge of the dry film resist passes around the 1/4 moon shaped film guide. The trailing edge of the resist should be smooth and flush to the film guide. On one of our two machines, the center of the trailing edge is "baggy" rather than flush against the film guide. The problem occurs on the upper and lower sides. Generally, this does not cause any defects because the resist smoothes out on the panel. But, occasionally, the resist wrinkles, especially over holes, 0.150" dia and larger. We see defects such as shorts and tent failures depending on the severity of the wrinkles. The bagginess occurs every panel, the wrinkles occur only very occasionally. This problem has been looked at by equipment service rep, and we still have the problem. We are operating the laminator with the following parameters: The panels are preheated to 115-120 F. The lamination roll temperature is 115 C (but we have tried lower temperature 105 C). The lamination roll pressure is 4.5 bar (but we have tried varying the pressure down to 3 bar). We are using 2.0 mil thick Dynachem AT resist. Roll speed is 2.7 meter/min. The 18" x 24" panels are run with the 24" edge leading. We use recoated lamination rolls, but the problem occurs even with new lamination rolls. Any help with this problem is greatly appreciated. </smaller> <smaller>Bernie </smaller> </excerpt><<<<<<<< Josh Moody Materials Quality Engineer Hewlett-Packard - Richardson (HPSD) ph# (972) 497-4617 [log in to unmask] ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

Sounds like your customer had a dubious experience with an earlier IR or IR/Convection oven. These were very sensitive to loading and not nearly as efficient as today's Convection Dominant ovens in terms of heat transfer capability. Definitely do the tests and if you need guidance in test specifics, contact me off the Technet. As far as absolutely needing nitrogen - not likely. Unless you are using an oxygen sensitive material in your assembly that requires a reduced oxygen - inert atmosphere (a particular no-clean formulation or OSP) nitrogen is not an absolute requirement. There has been quite a bit written about this as well as posted to the Technet so I won;t bother re-iterating it now. I have an article or two on it on my Website and Heller has a paper as well (See their website). So much for the customer always being right.... Regards, Phil Zarrow ITM, Inc.

We have never run any type of "buffer" board thru any of the machines. Has your customer been brainwashed by a prior supplier, perhaps? I have come across people who were burned by an incidence where a supplier let a process get out of control. The supplier then blamed the "chemistry, process, etc." Those people now think that that "chemistry, process, etc." is no good and should be forever banned. You have to find a way to "brainflush" them. If they have a closed mind, that can be quite a challenge! Good luck. Charlie B.

It isn't that our oven has ever exhibited heat loading problems. In fact, I plan on some heat loading experiments to prove this. I just have an external customer who likes to help. The problem is they are 100% convinced of the following: 1) We absolutely have to have nitrogen on our reflow oven. 2) We have to place buffer boards before and after each production assembly or else our heaters won't handle the load properly. I do appreciate all the responses so far, although more opinions are welcomed and encouraged. Thank you all for your help.

DSTF is foil that is treated on the shiny (drum) side, instead of the more typical matte side. This technology was invented by Polyclad Laminates, Inc. The shiny side is then laminated to the core prepreg, leaving the matte side exposed. DSTF has many advantages: Non-subtractive pre-cleaning, eliminating the need for microetching, pumice cleaning or mechanical scrubbing Improved resist adhesion for higher innerlayer yield Ultra low profile for cleaner etching and improved board reliability Erik Bergum, Polyclad, presented a technical paper at Expo '95, which further explains the advantages of DSTF vs. standard foil. The technical paper, entitled "Drum Side Treated Foil," is available through the IPC for $10 for members, and $20 for nonmembers. Regards- Chris Chris Jorgensen Project Manager IPC 2215 Sanders Rd.

For thermosonic gold ball bonding, you should have pure, soft gold. The problems that you are seeing are probably due to the materials added to harden the gold. Thallium, lead, nickel, copper, chrome, or titanium can all decrease bondability. Talk to your board vendor, and see if they can plate pure soft gold for the wire bonding. There is an article in Volume 20, Number 3 IMAPS Journal regarding thermosonic gold ball bonding to immersion gold, electroless nickel. Perhaps this metallization is a possibility. It is more difficult than bonding to soft pure gold, but it can be done. Dave Anderson Medtronic, Inc. Opinions are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. >>> <[log in to unmask]> 05/29/98 08:08am >>> Everybody, good day. Does a woodpeck prefer hickory or limetree? And does a automatic wire bonding machine prefer hard gold or soft gold? From the metaphor to the problem: Our board supplier is a very good one, I think, but our special headache is not his, at least not yet. We design with Teflon-on-Brass plates (US-made). On the Teflon (in fact Teflon mixed with ceramic and glass etc) there is a Copper layer. This copper layer is etched and Nickel plated. Finally you put electrolytic Gold on. The process is such, that both the Nickel and the Gold becomes too hard for gold ball wire ultrasonic bonding. Wanted hardness is 100 HV. The hardness from supplier X is 450HV. The question is: what is possible to do in the board processing steps? I know that the chemistry of Nickel-and Gold baths is a mysterious world, current density plays a role, heat treatments also and a lot of other things. But we don't have the time to experiment weeks and months. Is there someone with a woodpeck's experience?

It doesn't go into great detail, but did have this statement which concerned me, "...sulfer concentrations as low as parts per trillion (PPT) in the environment will cause copper sulfide to creep on exposed copper on the IC pins." If it's a concern on IC pins, it seems logical to me that any exposed copper areas would be a concern. This is a different situation than just oxidation and solderability preservation. Has anybody heard of this situation or know the extent of this creep? Any figures as to what the typical sulfur content is in the atmosphere? Thanks in advance.

If you look at the instructions of 10 year old lamp or panel emitter heated furnaces, you would see suggestions regarding the use of dummy boards. This is to break laminar air layers in the older style of furnace which did not fan force the air. Especially the first few boards going into an idling machine. Even in such older furnaces, most of the heat transfer to the work is due to air (or N2), so when the air mixing is not good, neither is the thermal gradient on the work. Regarding N2 use, my experience is that it is of little benefit. In order to gain the theoretical advantages, you must exclude oxygen to the ppm level, and this becomes difficult, especially in the cooling. And the work is unfortunately "contaminated" by oxides and gaseous O2 permeating the materials before it reaches the furnace. Real life results I have seen were not nearly so impressive as the lab photos. And there are many more than two rules of thumb in my experiences regarding SMT reflow, I'd suggest these in no particular order: Buy a furnace with sufficient heated length to run at the conveyor rate necessary to keep up with your placement line. Any longer is just that many more steps to take a few thousand times in your life, and that many more motors and bearings to break. Make sure you have satisfactory exit transfer or built-in cooling to assure safe handling of boards leaving the heated zone. Don't pay for thermal transfer, zone isolation, and cooling schemes related to N2 if you don't intend to use it. Make sure you have the power distribution in your building to meet the needs of phase and voltage selection. If possible, run multiphase high voltage (480 or more) to improve effiency. Find a furnace which is not too noisy. Stand by one running for an hour or so to see how noisy it might be. Compressed air is not cheap and easy to provide on a continuous basis, and it tends to make some ugly noises. Look hard at the mechanics of the conveyor drive, this is what will likely break first. The difference between car salespersons and SMT equipment salespersons is that the car people realize when they are lying. ;-) Your mileage may vary, void in New Jersey, use at your own risk, etc. Jerry Cupples Interphase Corporation Dallas, TX USA http://www.iphase.com ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.

To get around the problem with via holes in SMT pads w/o introducing board cost increase/other fabrication process complications, use a smallest possible via hole size, which is 0.25mm (0.010") and mask bottom side via hole pads with LPISM. This restricts the flow of solder thru via holes and at the same time, allows flux and volatile gas to escape thru them.

Probably you mean CWK format. That is an archieve format from GraphiCode CAM-Software. It is possible that the customer has the shareware GC-Prevue, with which he can read in his gerber and drill files and save all together as CWK. Then, any fab with the bigger software GC-CAM can process these files, export gerber, panelize etc. For further informations, contact http://www.graphicode.com.
