Abstract:

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) who supply high reliability products to markets such as military, aerospace, and automotive are continually investigating methods to enhance the reliability of their proudcts utilizing "off the shelf" components and materials. An extensive DOE is underway to determine how assembly processes such as conformal coat and PBGA underfill can interact with PCB design parameters such as SMD vs. NSMD solder pads to provide enhanced solder joint reliability for products that require the greatest reliability achieveable. Board level temperature cycling and vibration testing will be performed to quantify the reliability improvements that can occur by implementing a BGA underfill process. Keywords: Vibration, BGA Underfill, Temperature Cycling, Solder Joint Reliability.
