CHAPTER 4 NOTES ON MOUNTING


4.3 BGA Bonding Process
4.3.2 Case 2. Unmelted solder pt.2

Examples of the measures for each factor of unmelted solder are shown below.

Measure examples for Factor 1. [Temperature profile]
      •   Review the temperature profile:
Check that the recommended conditions have been observed for the solder paste used at the solder joint of the defective device.
      •   Change the solder paste:
Use a solder paste that matches the temperature profile used.
 
Measure examples for Factor 2. [Solder ball oxidation]
      •   Review the device storage conditions:
Check that the device's storage environment and conditions (dry pack management, etc.) are appropriate.
      •   Review the temperature profile:
Check that preheating temperature is not too high and the preheating time is not too long.
      •   Change the ambient reflow atmosphere:
Try executing reflow processing in a nitrogen atmosphere.
 
Measure examples for Factor 3. [Solder paste deterioration]
      •   Review the paste storage conditions:
Check that the paste's storage environment is appropriate and that the storage date has not expired. (Particular care is required when using leftover paste that has been re-stored.)
      •   Change the solder paste:
Use a solder paste that matches the storage conditions and management methods used.
 
Measure examples for Factor 4. [Warping of mounted device/printed circuit board]
      •   Review the device and printed circuit board storage conditions:
Check that the storage environment and conditions of the device and printed circuit board are appropriate.
      •   Check the printed circuit board and layout of mounted parts:
Check that there is no warping and that parts with a large thermal capacity are not mounted close together. (If parts with a large thermal capacity are mounted close together, it may cause a temperature differential within the device. For details of this phenomenon, see 4.1 Temperature Distribution due to Mixed Mounting.)
      •   Check the solder paste print:
Check that the print thickness is adequate and that there are no missing-print defects. (If the amount of print is reduced, the defect may become apparent even if the effect of warping is the same.)
      •   Review the temperature profile:
Adjust the temperature profile so that heat is applied evenly to the mounted parts and printed circuit board.
