Semiconductor die thickness is getting thinner over time due to improvement of power efficiency in advance power electronic packages. Ultrathin die with convex warpage can easily deteriorate the ...
The objective of this article is to explain the best techniques for soldering sensors manufactured by Merit Sensor using automated equipment. All profiles must be assessed and tested for best ...
One high-volume OEM proves that even simple feedback from an AOI system can reduce end-of-line defects by an order of magnitude. Until recently, the use of pre-reflow optical inspection usually was ...
In our previous issues in this series on making circuit boards, we covered placing solder paste and placing components. Now it’s time to bake our cake! There are a variety of methods for reflowing a ...
As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...
Japanese storefront Shigezone has recently listed a USB PD (Power Delivery)-operated reflow oven. The top plate reaches a maximum temperature of 280 degrees Celsius at default settings or 350 degrees ...
Conversely,experienced embedded designers know to mask or tent BGA vias at thedesign and layout level. Even when this step is omitted, adesign-for-manufacture (DFM) check mapped out at the planning ...
In the wake of the AI and Electric Vehicle (EV) era, efficient power supply and conversion have become a critical battleground. For over a decade, 3S Silicon Tech has been deeply committed to ...
Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their ...
