1.6 Drying (baking) moisture sensitive devices

The components that typically are moisture sensitive are all PWBs having microvias onpads or having Aramid fibre reinforcement, most QFP components with lead count higherthan 50, all CSP components regardless of ball count, most optical devices based onacrylic plastics (IR modules, all LEDs), special plastic integrates structures (plastic powerdevices including polyimide tape or equivalent interfaces).

The purpose of NMP baking is to decrease amount of water from plastic packages priorsoldering. As absorbed water vaporise in reflow, internal cracks and failures may becreated.

Note standards and instructions for moisture sensitive components regardingprotective packing in shipping and storage together with this specification.

Moisture sensitive componentunprotected exposure time in ambient

Support table vacuum OFF while printing, unless dedicatedworkholder is of such construction that novacuum is created between PWB and stencilOR vacuum is limited to 100-200mbar.Vacuum ON during loading and tablemovements (activate special 1043 in AP-25SW 6.1 or later).

Kneading1 8 kneads after every 20min or longer pause inprinting process and recommended afteraddition of paste. Otherwise not needed.

Solder paste amount on stencil 150 – 160 g + paste attached to squeeze(200mm )

Printing accuracy +/- 0.05 mm

*) Sometimes referred as ”squeegee pressure” and force given in KGs, 1kg=9.81N

**) Depends linearly on squeegee width1) Automatic procedure to soften paste and dissolve partly dried paste residues at stencilaperture opening edges instead of stencil manual cleaning. The panel used for kneadingcan be fed to production line as normally printed board. After pauses beyond 120mincareful stencil cleaning in dedicated cleaner is recommended.

4. STATISTICAL - PRINTING - PROCESS CONTROL, SPPC

4.1 Alarm and control limit settings

In order to determine alarm and control limits for the SPPC machine at least 5.000 boardsmust be measured in normal process conditions. Successive boards must be processedas subgroups of about 10 pcs. Ideally subgroups should match with a board batch printedbetween stencil cleaning. Alarm limits for Area and Bridge parameters equal to 3 xstandard deviation of collected data (5.000 boards).

Control limit SpecificationControl limit for Area 3Area

Control limit for Bridge 3Bridge

In order to make sure that too low value isn't accepted as a control limit following minimumvalues are requested for both Area and Bridge.

Minimum values for each limit are:Control limit for Area 70%

Control limit for Bridge 60%

Page 12: SMT Basic process: Improving your PCBA quality

www.smthelp.com

The acquired data can be analysed and limits defined by the software called SPC-PC-IVwhich is included in system software package of SPPC equipment.

4.2 Actions when the machine alarms

When the SPPC machine alarms the paste printing process must be verified immediatelyby checking board – stencil alignment, amount of paste and condition of stencil. Moredetailed troubleshooting information is available from local process support team. When aproblem is fixed the alarm will be automatically reset after 5 to 10 boards.

4.3 Handling of statistical process information

Reports from SPPC system must be printed out and analysed on weekly basis.Corrective actions must be agreed and implemented when remarkable deviations fromnominal values exist.

5. AUTOMATED OPTICAL INSPECTION, AOI

5.1 Location of the machine in the production line

In most cases the best location for AOI machine is after high speed placement machines.In this stage all chip components are placed and paste deposites of integrated circuits arestill visible.

5.2 Utilisation of inspection results

Primary purpose of use of AOI machines is monitoring of paste printing and placementprocesses. This can be done by using the SPC software package delivered with themachine or by supplying inspection results to dedicated process monitoring software ifavailable.It is also possible to rationalise rework by sending AOI failure information to rework station.

5.3 Component and paste alarm limits

Next table describes recommended alarm limit values for different component types andfor paste printing. The objective is to detect placement errors that can't be fixed by selfaligment during reflow process and to avoid unnecessary alarms.

Component type Placement alarm limit specification0402 150 m for X and Y, 10 for Theta

0603 and bigger chip components 200 m for X and Y, 10 for Theta

Leaded components 150 m for X and Y, 5 for Theta

Paste printing accuracy 50 m for X and Y

Paste printing Area coverage 70 - 125% of nominal value

Needle height: 0.5mm from the PWB surface for 0.8mmpitch CSP's (0.5mm bumps)0.3mm from the PWB surface for 0.5mmpitch CSP's (0.3mm bumps)Note: If some 0402 or 0201 componentsare closer that 1.1mm from the CSPcomponent the needle height must be0.7mm.

Right fill If underfill can be seen from all foursides.MAD: 52-54mg (Note: Variation betweendifferent PWB's causes variation torequired amount of underfill.)

Curing 150C/3min for Namics Ohmcoat 1572and 150C/5min for Loctite 3566.Note: Time is minimum time. Must not beless, otherwise insufficient cure.

8.2 Dispencing pattern for CSP components

From process cycle time point of view it is recommended to use L-patterns. To avoid voidsthe pattern needs to start and end 1.3mm from the corner (picture 3.). This way the risk ofvoids is little and the dispensing speed is as fast as possible.

9. PLACEMENT PROCESS SPECIFICATIONS

9.1 Nozzles

Recommended nozzle sizes for some package types:0201 (0603) Fuji CP series: 0.4 mm circular nozzle

Panasert MV2V: type SXSiplace: type 702

0402 (1005) Fuji CP series: 0.7 mm circular nozzlePanasert MV2 RSS mininozzles, part no 10224781 86 and MSH2: special small nozzles, partno M1023 8-10-500-00Siplace: type 901 or 925

Odd-shape components(connectors, duplexers, powermodules, etc.)

As large nozzle as possible shall be used (usuallymin diameter 5mm /area min 20mm 2 ) in order tomaintain placing speed and accuracy

9.2 Feeders

High Speed machines 7” Tape&Reel is a standard for both Fuji andPanasert. 13” reels can be used for 0402 resistorsand capacitors (13” with paper tape, blister tapenot allowed).For Siplace 13" and 15" Tape&Reel can be used.

Low Speed machines 13” Tape&Reel is a standard, 7” and 15” may alsobe used. Sticks and trays are not allowed.

9.3 NC-Programs

Placing sequence of 0402 In high-speed machines it is generallyrecommended to assembly first all low parts(0402 resistors 0.3mm), then parts, the height ofwhich is 0.3 - 0.5 mm (usually 0402 capacitors)and then the rest of the components.

Independent / connected feedertables

It is always recommended to use feeder tablesindependently in high-speed machines, thuseliminating undesirable stoppages when a partruns out. If connected tables must be used, it isadvisable to use “Next Device” or “Master Z-Number” functions or/and 13” reels to decreasecomponent shortages of “high-runner” codes

NC-program optimization / Allmodules mixed

This is usually the fastest way to assembly apanel (all modules assembled mixed at the sametime as one big PCB) and is thus recommended.

NC-program optimization / Stepand repeat

If “step and repeat” mode (offset) is used, thenevery other module must be assembled usingreverse placement sequence, so that the feedertable doesn’t have to move unnecessarily fromleft to right at each offset.

9.4 Part Data / Vision processing

Chip components Fuji CP-series uses binary vision processing, Panasertuses gray scale for 0402 chips. This is due to the actualnozzle size behind the component body. With smallernozzles Panasert can use both. Binary vision isrecommended.

IC-type components Every lead shall be checked for pitch and lead length.CSP components As general recommendation use outermost balls for

component alignment.Complex connectors As general recommendation use outermost leads for

component alignment. Pls, check “lead insertion depthtolerance” from component’s specifications, since thisaffects in positioning of component body.

Placing speed 100 % placing speed is always the target. This can beachieved with most package types by selecting theproper nozzle (see 11.1, Nozzles).

9.5 Placement process management data compatibility table

Fuji Readings from F4G (Production Data -> Analyzer ->Device) shall be used to manually generate followingrates:

Pick-up Rate = 1- Total Errors / Total Parts

Mount Rate = 1- Total Errors / (Total Parts - TotalErrors)

Panasert Rates from “Production Control Data”:

Pick-up Numbers = Total Number of Pick-upsMount Numbers = Pick-up Numbers - Total Errors

Pick-up Rate= 1- (Pick-up Error Numbers + Pick-upMiss Numbers) / Pick-up Numbers

Mount Rate= 1- (Pick-up Error N. + Pick-up Miss N. +Parts Recog Errors + Shape Errors) / Mount Numbers

Siplace Rates from the line computer MaDaMaS system:

Comp. ok = Total count – id. err. – vac. errMount Rate = Comp. ok
