Selecting Components for Lead-Free SMT Assembly

August 14 , 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Is your company able to accommodate lead-free soldering … and effectively work with lead-free compatible components? With the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive firmly in place, you need to be able to answer “yes.” Even if legislation doesn't’t require you to comply, sweeping change throughout the global marketplace does. Now that component manufacturers worldwide have abandoned lead-containing alloy terminal plating, every assembly company needs to modify its process to accommodate lead-free components.

About the webcast:
This informative, one-hour webcast explores the impact of lead-free components, reviews several component manufacturers’ specifications, and examines various compatible laminates and surface finishes for circuit boards.

Topics to be covered include:

  • RoHS impact on PCB design and assembly
  • Component selection for lead-free applications
  • Product exemption criteria
  • Specifying RoHS-compatible PCB material and finish

Be sure to join us for this must-attend session, and gain valuable insights that will help you keep your assembly operation compliant and competitive in the face of RoHS and the shift to lead free.

Assembly Process Guidelines for Wafer Level CSP
August 21, 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Today’s consumers expect each new generation of personal entertainment and portable handset products to be smaller, thinner, lighter in weight … and loaded with even greater functionality. How can electronics manufacturers offer a product that meets all those functional and performance expectations without increasing product cost? Many companies are turning to IC packages that are no greater than the die element.

A wide range of choices exist today for assembly of ultra-fine-pitch wafer level and die-size surface mount devices. Although solder remains the most common method for device attachment, a number of alternative methods — such as the use of conductive polymers and ultrasonic gold-to-gold interface — have been developed to reliably secure the miniature die-sized elements to the circuit structure.

About the webcast:
In this one-hour webcast, participants will get a solid overview of current wafer level and die-size package technologies, plus explore common assembly process options, attachment material variations and manufacturing methodologies detailed in the new IPC-7094 document, Design and Assembly Process Implementation for Flip Chip and Die Size Components.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Current wafer level and die-size package technologies
  • Equipment requirements for board-level assembly
  • Attachment methodology and alternative materials
  • Criteria for qualification testing and inspection

The push for higher density IC packaging will expand with every new generation of consumer electronics. Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the growing trend toward smaller packages!
