Implementing “Bleeding Edge” SMT Technology


&

The Deadly Sins of SMT and Lead-Free Assembly


PRESENTED BY
Phil Zarrow
President and Principal Consultant
ITM Consulting
Durham, NH USA

Ph: (603) 868-1754
Fax: (603) 868-3623

E-Mail: ITM@ITMConsulting.org

PRESENTATION ABSTRACT
Implementing “Bleeding Edge” SMT Technology
The circuit board assembler is constantly challenged by components that seem
to defy logic and manufacturability. Passives such as 0201s and 01005s, while
bringing happiness to the designer with regard to layout densities are the bane of
the assembler. IC packaging also has adhered to the mantra of “smaller, faster”
taunting the assembler with land-grid arrays (or no lead packages) and highdensity
CSPs and Flip-chips. Yet, manufacturing PCBAs with these “bleeding
edge” components is not insurmountable, (though not for the weak of hear).
This advanced course is intended to provide the experienced participant with a
thorough yet practical approach towards dealing with the most challenging of
component packages. The very latest and best methodologies and philosophies
regarding process optimization will be presented and discussed. Optimizing the
SMT assembly process, as it pertains to very small and high-density components
will thus be covered, step by step including DFM guidelines, solder paste,
Screen/Stencil Printing, Component Placement, Reflow, Inspection and Rework.
The impact of lead-free and RoHS compliance will, of course, also be discussed.
Case studies based upon the instructor’s experience will be presented.

The Deadly Sins of SMT and Lead-Free Assembly
Everyone has heard of the “7 Deadly Sins” that will, supposedly, lead one to Hell.
There are also the “Deadly Sins” of SMT - there are more than just 7 – and they
can make your assembly process a “hell on earth”.
During the course of our assembly process audits and troubleshooting work, we
tend to see trends in the types of errors and problems. In other words, a lot of
people are making the same mistakes. The resulting process problems wreak
havoc with an impact on assembly yields ranging from 5 to 20%. In addition to
this direct cost, there is also additional financial impact with regard to time spent
reworking and repairing, the on corrective action by QC, Engineering and
Management, and, of course, “do-over”.
This workshop identifies the “deadly sins” of SMT assembly, both for Pb-free and
“leaded” processes. Besides the symptoms and consequences of each type of
error, root-cause, rectification and prevention techniques will be presented. The
workshop will, thus, provide the participant with an understanding of how to
hopefully avoid, or at least quickly identify and correct the most common SMT
assembly problems. It will include identification of vendor and source problems
including components and materials as well as design related problems.
