Zymet to Discuss Reliability of LTS Assemblies at SMTAI
October 9, 2018 | ZymetEstimated reading time: 1 minute
At the SMTA International 2018 technical conference, Portland State University, Zymet Inc., and MK Electron Co. Ltd will present their investigation on the board level reliability of low temperature solder (LTS) assemblies and the efficacy of a reworkable edgebond adhesive to enhance reliability. LTS assembly results in less warpage and, hence, fewer assembly defects. It also offers a path to board level assembly of modules, without subjecting them to their first-level reflow conditions. One disadvantage of low temperature solders is poorer board level reliability, particularly for harsher environments.
The -40°C to +125°C thermal cycle performance of BGA’s assembled with LTS is compared with those assembled with conventional SAC solder. Non-edgebonded LTS assemblies (Figure 1a) are compared with those bonded with a reworkable edgebond adhesive (Figures 1b and 1c). The expected lower performance of LTS, relative to SAC solder, is confirmed. The reworkable edgebond adhesive, when applied to LTS-assembled BGAs, is found to improve performance to levels well beyond that of SAC-assembled non-edgebonded BGAs. With appropriate adhesive selection and configuration, LTS-assembled BGAs can meet more difficult board level reliability requirements, even those of a harsh environment application.
The paper, "Low Melting Temperature Interconnect Thermal Cycle Performance Enhancement Using Elemental Tuning and Edgebond Application", will be presented at Session APT7: Reliability of Low Temperature Solder (LTS) Interconnects, October 18, 2018. For more information about edgebond adhesives, visit Zymet at Booth #828, SMTAi 2018, Rosemont Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, October 14 -18, 2018.
