Standards. - Both ISO IEC managed from same location in
Geneva, Switzerland - Occasional overlap between ISO and IEC
programming - Both require participating Country support
7- IPC defines 3 levels of product quality for
Manufactures to build to and designers to aim
for. - Class 1 - General Electronic Products
- Class 2 - Dedicated Service Electronic Products
- Class 3 - High Reliability Electronic Products
- There are more defined classifications within the
sub categories of IPC standards
8Overview of IPC Design Acceptance Standards
9Design Acceptance Covers
- The guidelines are constantly evolving on Rigid,
Flex boards and assemblies, pc cards, modules,
embedded passive components - Other new technologies intended to address
tighter tolerances, greater electrical
capabilities and increased product performance
requirements. - Consideration is also given on CAD/CAM capability
and data transfer from supply source.

13Manufacturing Allowance
- The courtyard represents the starting point of
the minimum area needed for the component and the
land pattern - Manufacturing allowance must be considered in
the design process - Manufacturing, assembly and testing
representatives should be involved in determining
the additional room needed to accommodate
placement, testing, modification and rework
14IPC-7351 Land Pattern Software
15Whats Next?
- New Design Standards
- Major support by CAD tool providers
- National Institute Standard Technology (NIST)
viewer can be used to check data files - NIST Gerber to IPC-2581 conversion
- New tools becoming available daily
16Material Selection
17Material Requirements Cover
- Existing standards
- New materials being developed to meet higher
temperature assembly due to lead free
implementation - Assembly materials
- Requirement for halogen free laminate
18Standards for Laminates
- Flexible Laminate
- Rigid and HDI Laminate
- Foil-Laminate
19PCB Base Material
- Base materials for printed board applications are
changing faster than at any point in their short
45 year history. - FR-4 is improving technically to facilitate
- Lead-free assembly
- Halogen-free assembly
- Global market place requires global
specifications - With new materials and technologies developed
rapidly, governing standards must be generated
just as fast in order to maintain a cohesive
pattern of control
20Key Material Properties
- While there are many different material
properties that can be measured in a laminate,
only a few are of overriding importance in
circuit design and are of major concern to
designers. These properties are - Thermal expansion
- Glass transition temperature (Tg)
- Moisture absorption
- Time to Decomposition (Td)
-
21Solder Alloy Selection
Solder alloys exist for the electronic industries
that have primarily been eutectic in nature.
Rework repair soldering require the same type
of solder flux combination as the original reflow
combination. With RoHS we now have a much wider
range of alloys. The predominant group are SAC (
Sn Ag Cu ) alloy, and an industry standard alloy
is the SAC 305.
22Printed Board Process Characteristics
23Surface Finish
- HASL - hot air solder leveling
- OSP - organic solderability preservative
- ENIG - electro less nickel immersion
gold - ImAg - immersion silver
- ImSn - immersion tin

24Related Process Issues
- Solder paste application (volume
- control)
- Tented or plugged vias
- Solder flux removal vs flux residue
- Impact of wave soldering
- Partially filled vias
25Workmanship Discrimination Standards
26Standards of Workmanship
- Any training provided should be across the board
and not just to operators so that everyone
understands the design and performance intent. - Discuss both the mounting structure and the
assembly end product characteristics - Need for describing the manufacturing target
condition - Compares acceptable workmanship as well as
rejected or process indicator criteria.

certification, supported by verifying data based
on statistical sampling that all materials which
become a part of the finished product are in
accordance with the printed board procurement
documentation.
Quality Conformance Inspection
Quality conformance inspection shall be performed
using either quality conformance coupons and/or
production boards.
30Acceptance
- Acceptance of product for delivery shall be based
on product that has passed the testing
requirements shown in the applicable Performance
Specification and User defined documentation.
Rejected Lots
If an inspection lot is rejected, the supplier
shall screen out the defective units, i.e. 100
lot inspection, or other documented supplier
quality system.
31Quality and Inspection
32Quality Assessment
- Covers existing standards
- Test method and techniques used to evaluate the
products that are part of the electronic
equipment - Addresses techniques for process control, how
these should be applied and sampling plan
characteristics - Industry best practice criteria for the products
in question.
33Process Control Elements
- Key Process Control Variables
- Incoming Material
- Design For Manufacture (DFM)
- Manufacturing Processes
- Training
- Documentation
34Key Considerations forImproving Yield
- Finer the pitch, more difficult is the
implementation of design manufacture. - With reduced pitch, precision becomes more
intense and process windows tighten - Lower yield and higher cost if design is not
precise and processes are not very tightly
controlled - With the widespread use of smaller and smaller
components with finer and finer pitches, the
problem is simply compounded
35Common Quality Control Techniques Trial and Error
- Trial Error methods are expensive, time consuming
and can be frustrating. - The processes are incredibly high speed.
- They must be performed by machines.
- The equipment must be thoroughly characterized.
- Most large companies have assigned engineers to
optimize small companies learn as they go. - Learn as you go is not a real option, since
revenue or product schedule or both may be
adversely impacted. - Fine pitch, BGA, CSP, 0402, 0201, 01005, thin
PCBs and, no-clean flux compound the yield
problems
36Design to Improve ManufacturingFirst Pass Yield
- Must understand the interdependency of design,
incoming materials and manufacturing processes - Then and only then can we achieve higher yield,
lower cost and faster time to market - This requires considerable investment of
engineering resources at all levels in - a) Process characterization
- b) Training not just for ENGINEERS but
MANUFACTURING and support staff - c) Documentation
37Design For Manufacturability
- DFM is one of the key drivers of manufacturing
yield
38Design For Manufacturability
- DFM is one of the key drivers of manufacturing
yield - Very few circuit board designers have a good
understanding of manufacturing
39Design For Manufacturability
- DFM is one of the key drivers of manufacturing
yield - Very few circuit board designers have a good
understanding of manufacturing - So it is common to blame manufacturing for all
the yield problems since that is where defects
are discovered
40Incoming Materials Quality
- Garbage in garbage out
- There is no way to improve manufacturing yield if
- Boards and components have poor solderability
- Paste is susceptible to slumping solder balling
- Flux is not compatible with the process, boards
or components - Purchasing are unaware of the requirements of the
above issues. - Must communicate clearly with suppliers on
specific process requirements. - Remember Industry standards are not procurement
specs - Demand materials meet your requirements for which
you are paying.
41Manufacturing Processes Equipment
- Once the problems in design and incoming
materials have been addressed, it is time to
focus on the manufacturing processes and
equipment to improve yield and expenses - How should one go about identifying the key
manufacturing process issues? - First characterize the process
- Document the details of equipment and
non-equipment dependent variables that control
yield. This document serves as the process
recipe - Ensure staff are properly trained and competent
on the use equipment
42ISO 9000 and Quality
- Most companies claim to have process recipe since
most of them are now ISO certified - Unfortunately most ISO 9000 documents do not even
come close to defining what variables are
important for yield - ISO certification is a good thing but very often
it is more of a marketing tool and not very
helpful for building products with high yield - ISO requirement say what you do and do what you
say as a result most companies dont say much! - Need detailed recipe to produce quality product
43Meeting ISO but not Quality Requirements
- Use one profile for all products. This is OK for
ISO but you really need a unique profile for each
product - Even an unique profile is not going to help if
cause is - Poor solder paste
- Mis-registration or misplacement of components
- Poor handling of components and boards
- Poor solderability
- The process document needs to address all these
issues in specific detail, even though this is
more than required for ISO certification
44Training Documentation
- Having the right design, good quality incoming
materials and an in-house process document are
necessary but not sufficient to achieve high
yield on a consistent basis - Training of personnel at all levels, from senior
managers to engineers, operators and support
staff (i.e. purchasing) is critical for
addressing all the issues needed to improve yield
and then profitability
45Quality Assessment
- Process control is a way of life
- Use of statistics and process control
- Documented expectation and implementation
- Sampling plans for best practice criteria
- Keep operators involved in the process
- Develop meaningful design of experiments
