GoogleRocky Mountain (Colorado) Chapter: Summer Technical Session 2019 +
1811 Pike Rd # 2F, Longmont, CO 80501
So, you have to clean your board?
Join us on July 25, 2019 from 9:00 AM-3:00 PM for the Rocky Mountain Chapter's 2019 Summer Technical Meeting. The meeting will revolve around PCBA Cleaning. How do you do it well? Which chemistries work best? How do you tell if a product is clean enough? These questions and more will be answered by our three expert presenters.
9:30 AM – 10:30 AM - J-STD001G Amendment 1 is now active. What's New? What Stays the Same?
Presenter: Mike Konrad - President of Aqueous Technologies
Cleanliness quantification requirements have largely remained the same for over forty years. The historical pass/fail limits assigned to circuit assemblies have long been incompatible with long-term reliability.
IPC has recently released an amendment to J-STD001-G which dramatically changes the cleanliness testing requirements for post-reflow circuit assemblies. Gone are the historical pass/fail limits. The new cleanliness testing requirements require ionic process monitoring backed by an objective evidence standard.
This presentation will outline the reasons behind the new cleanliness testing standard by presenting modern residue-related failure mechanisms and the environmental and physical factors which may influence an assembly’s residue tolerance. This presentation will also outline the major elements of the new cleanliness testing standard and how it affects everyday production. This presentation will reference J-STD001-G, Amendment 1 and IPC-WP-019A.

1:00 PM – 2:00 PM - pH Neutral & Alkaline Cleaning Agents – Market Expectation & Field Performance
Presenter: Kalyan Nukala, M.S.Ch.E. - Application Engineer, ZESTRON Americas
In recent years, significant changes in solder paste formulations and assembly processes have occurred. Post reflow residues are now more difficult to remove. While modern aqueous alkaline cleaning agents effectively remove these flux residues, achieving satisfactory results often requires an increase in temperature, exposure time, chemical concentration, and mechanical energy. Are pH Neutral cleaning agents a solution?
This presentation details cleanliness test results of a two-phase DOE comparing pH Neutral and Alkaline cleaning agents. In Phase 1, the material compatibility effect of the cleaning agents was assessed for exposure under the worst-case scenarios with particularly sensitive materials. In Phase 2, cleanliness performance of each cleaning agent was assessed utilizing industry standard and IPC-B-52 tests vehicles populated with numerous low standoff components that have been soldered with commonly used leaded and lead-free solder pastes. A customer case study is also presented.

Overview
Taking x-ray images goes back over 100 years. Since then, there have been numerous advances in x-ray technology and these have been increasingly applied in helping the manufacturing of electronic components and assemblies, as well as in their failure analysis.
Most recently, this has been rapidly driven by the reduction in device and feature size and the movement to using newer, lower density materials within the structures, such as copper wire replacing gold wire as the interconnection material of choice within components. Another driver for developments is the engineering of single 3D packages with multiple chips stacked vertically one on top of the other, which results in smaller and more efficient packaging of devices.
In order to meet these challenges and those in the future, there have been a number of recent key improvements to the vital components within x-ray systems.
The choice of available technologies, however, means selecting the tube/detector combination, which is optimum for a particular electronics inspection application, is no longer so clear-cut. For example, one configuration may provide certain benefits that are applicable for one area of electronics inspection, whilst being less valid for others. This paper will review the various x-ray tube and detector types that are available and explain the implications of these choices for electronics inspection in terms of what they provide for inspection regarding image resolution, magnification, tube power, detector pixel size and the effects of detector radiation damage, amongst others.

AI Enhanced Quality for Electronic Assembly Operations
Speaker: Gregory J. Vance, Rockwell Automation
Smart manufacturing requires quick decision making. This means product and process performance needs to be monitored and provide enough data for trend, root cause analysis, and prediction. Many times this data resides in disparate locations (i.e. databases, machines, etc.) and behind proprietary interfaces, making data integration a daunting task.
In this work, we present initial steps in the direction of automated data acquisition, data harmonization, storage and processing capacity that will use the best of the edge and cloud computing environments to first solve smart manufacturing vision on a legacy electronic assembly manufacturing system. Our endeavor is to combine these initial two-level computing settings to create actionable analytics and visualization around electronic assembly processes by measuring machine performance in real time. This solution will allow the machine operators and production engineers to identify potential outliers in the production processes as they emerge and to unveil product quality tendencies that can be resolved faster and with anticipation.
Looking into the future; machine learning and other artificial intelligence tools will help us identify out of controls, trends and new correlations. This will reduce downtime and defects that will drive operations productivity.

A Practical Approach of Process Validation in Electronics Assembly
Speaker: Alfred Macha, AMT Partners
This presentation introduces an effective approach to process validation that can be applied at electronics assembly operations. The life sciences industry has provided well defined guidelines for process validation as part of CGMP (current good manufacturing practices) published by the FDA in 2011. These guidelines known as Process validation: General Principles and practices, provide an approach to plan and execute well controlled validation tasks via three elements.
- Installation qualification (IQ): This validation phase verifies that the instrument or equipment being qualified—as well as its subsystems and any ancillary systems—have been delivered, installed, and configured in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications
- Operational qualification (OQ): This validation phase is performed to check that the equipment’s performance is consistent with the user requirement specification within the manufacturer-specified operating ranges. All items in the test plan are tested individually and their performance documented
- Performance qualification (PQ): The final validation phase involves verifying and documenting that the equipment is working reproducibly within a specified working range.
The presentation will go over case studies of how process validation has helped manufacturing organizations reduce material costs and achieve consistent product quality via process consistency. In addition, the presentation provides a practical approach on how to roll out a process validation in an electronics assembly environment. Finally, the presentation will answer the following questions;
- What are the challenges in implementing a process validation system for non-medical device manufacturing environments?
- What is the most common mistake made during a process validation?
- How to eliminate redundancy and complexity in process validations?
- What is the cost of process validation?

Overview
Corrosion-related electronic hardware failures manifest themselves as electrical opens or shorts. The common modes of corrosion are: (a) electrical opens due to the corrosion of silver terminations in surface-mount resistors; and (b) electrical shorts on printed-circuit boards due to creep corrosion. An ASHRAE conducted survey of data centers concluded that these failures generally occurred when the air quality in data centers was such that the copper and silver corrosion rates were greater than 300 and 200 angstroms/month, respectively. Recent design corrective actions have significantly reduced these failures. Ion migration, another common corrosion-related failure mode that causes electrical shorts, occurs under high humidity condition, even in environments relatively free of gaseous contamination. Yet another failure mode, somewhat related to corrosion, that is becoming quite common is the deliquescence of deposited particulate matter short circuiting neighboring features on printed-circuit boards when the relative humidity in a data center is greater than the deliquescence relative humidity of the settled particulate matter. The webinar will present these and related topics in detail.

Webinar: Manual Cleaning of PCB Assemblies – Successful Tricks of the Trade +
Monday 16th September @ 2:30pm - 4:00pm UK Time (9:30am - 11:00am US Eastern Time)
Presenter: Bob Willis, SMTA Europe
Overview
After rework, modification or second stage assembly cleaning may need to be considered. Ideally a no clean flux, gel or solder paste should be used to avoid the need to clean selected areas. If manual cleaning is to be conducted every effort should be made to use materials or application methods that result in the minimum residues from the soldering process.
Planning and training staff in manual cleaning are very important to get the best possible result visually and to maintain product reliability. This is one of the first training sessions to cover manual cleaning of board assemblies, highlighting the problems and solutions to manual cleaning.
Topics include:
- Why clean
- Material selection
- Manual cleaning techniques
- Testing cleanliness
- Inspection requirements
- Component compatibility
- Reliability test techniques
In preparation for the event and to ensure you are equipped to get maximum benefit from the event, read our Webinar Guide.
The webinar will run for between 60-90min with question and answer session. The webinars are limited to 100 delegates/companies. A copy of the slides will be provided after the webinar.

Webinar: Practical Failure Analysis Methods in Printed Board Assembly +
Monday 14th October @ 2:30pm - 4:00pm UK Time (9:30am - 11:00am US Eastern Time)
Presenter: Bob Willis, SMTA Europe
Overview
Different levels of failure analysis exist, from the very basic with virtually no equipment, to the use of a full failure analysis laboratory. Often simple analysis methods can point engineers in the right direction, but proving the root cause of failure often needs the electronic pathologist with all his investigation tools. When conducting any failure analysis, it is important the results prove the cause of the fault. The true reason for failure needs to be clear and proven with hard facts, not just opinions.
Topics include:
- Optical and X-ray inspection
- Solder joint crack detection
- Microsectioning
- Component opening techniques
- Surface analysis
- Shear testing
- Question and answer session
In preparation for the event and to ensure you are equipped to get maximum benefit from the event, read our Webinar Guide.
The webinar will run for between 60-90min with question and answer session. The webinars are limited to 100 delegates/companies. A copy of the slides will be provided after the webinar.

Webinar: Low Temperature Solder Benefits and Process Concerns +
Monday 11th November @ 2:30pm - 4:00pm UK Time (9:30am - 11:00am US Eastern Time)
Presenter: Bob Willis, SMTA Europe
Overview
The use of low temperature soldering is gaining interest in the industry to reduce cost, prevent component and PCB damage and improve reliability. It’s different but that does not mean it cannot be introduced into your process with existing process equipment. Generally speaking, solders used regally in assembly reflow at over 220°C, low temperature solders reflow at under 180°C. There are some organisations predicting a large growth in low temperature materials in the next two to three years for multistep soldering.
Many companies have been using tin/bismuth alloys for some years reducing cost on PCBs and energy. Other companies have been using tin/indium for rework of lead-free area array packages with success. There are savings to be made even if the cost of the solder alloy is much more expensive provided you consider the total cost of manufacture. We produced the first book, video and interactive CD-ROM on pin in hole intrusive reflow, so we believe we are in a good position to help engineers achieve high yields with low temperature materials.
Topics include:
- Why use low temperature solder
- Benefit over lead-free alloys
- Materials available
- Reflow soldering and rework results
- Reliability with mixed alloys
- Inspection results
In preparation for the event and to ensure you are equipped to get maximum benefit from the event, read our Webinar Guide.
The webinar will run for between 60-90min with question and answer session. The webinars are limited to 100 delegates/companies. A copy of the slides will be provided after the webinar.

Webinar: QFN/LGA Design, Assembly Process Issues & Reliability Failures +
Monday 2nd December @ 2:30pm - 4:00pm UK Time (9:30am - 11:00am US Eastern Time)
Presenter: Bob Willis, SMTA Europe
Overview
New components often provide challenges to design, process and quality engineers. Solder joint failure, voiding plus contamination & corrosion are just a few of the problems experienced so far. Any large area component with a low stand off which needs to be reflow soldered to a substrate can be a challenge but at ever decreasing pitch the need for good process validation and correct design is vital for high yields.
Having had hands on experience with these parts since conducting design reviews, setting up processes, conducting failure analysis we may not have all the answers, but we do know the right questions to ask in manufacture.
Provided FREE with this webinar are Bob Willis QFN inspection and quality control wall charts to use in your own manufacturing and training facility.
Topics include:
- Design options to reduce failures
- Process improvements in design and assembly
- Void reduction
- Improvements in joint reliability
- Simple 5min solderability assessment
- Improved cleaning performance
- Results in cleaning and SIR on QFN packages
- Process results from vapour phase and convection reflow
- Solder joint reliability
- IPC design and process guidelines
In preparation for the event and to ensure you are equipped to get maximum benefit from the event, read our Webinar Guide.
The webinar will run for between 60-90min with question and answer session. If you have a process example you would like covered in the webinar it will need to be provided in advance of the session. The webinars are limited to 100 delegates/companies. A copy of the slides will be provided after the webinar.
