Voiding Under Bottom Terminated Components
Speaker: Pat Ryan, Indium Corporation
One of the biggest challenges facing the electronics industry today is voiding in the solder joints that connect bottom terminated components to PCBs. This solder voiding, especially on thermal pads, can lead to hot spots and a reduction in the life of the component and the overall assembly. Without careful design considerations, it is also difficult to obtain precision in the level of voiding from one component to another. This paper looks at the cause and effect of voiding and a new approaches using solder paste chemistries and readily available solder preforms. It has been determined that this approach can both decrease the level of voiding found in the solder joints beneath bottom terminated components and also decrease the amount of variation. While this paper focuses on this technique when used with SAC305, it is versatile enough to be used with other alloys commonly available in paste and solder fortification preform forms today. This method also has the added benefit of being fully compatible with current manufacturing processes, adding only extra placement steps without the need to change reflow profile, equipment, etc. This easy and inexpensive modification to current processes can have a big impact on the reliability of the final product.

Optimization of the Reflow Profile to minimize Voiding
Speaker: MB Allen, KIC
Void reduction is a significant concern and controversial topic in electronic assembly. Voiding impacts electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance. There are many variables such as substrates, components, solder paste, acceptable void levels and of course the reflow profile. This discussion will focus on the optimization of the reflow profile as one of the solutions for the reduction of voiding.

Advances in Stencil Technology for Achieving Successful Printing Results
Chrys Shea, Shea Engineering Services
Fresh from the SMTA International Conference, Chrys is bringing the latest research and development in stencil printing to address important questions from the users' perspective:
* How does nanocoating help the print process? Is it worth the cost?
* Will high tension stencils improve print quality?
* When should Type 5 solder paste be considered for fine feature printing?
* What's the difference between wet wiping and dry wiping?
* Do wiper parameters, papers, solvents and sequences make a big difference?
* What are the new methods of making stepped stencils?
* What is the role of wall roughness in the print process?
Come to this presentation to:
* REVIEW the data
* SEE the photos
* WATCH the videos
* LISTEN for tips and tricks that will help your process
If you couldn't get to the SMTA International conference, the latest published research is coming to you! Highlights of technical studies published by AIM, KYZEN, Shea Engineering Services, MET, FCT, and a 4-company New England consortium will be included in the presentation.
