IPC-WP-023 is an IPC Technology Solutions White Paper addressing reliability issues associated with stacked microvias. There is evidence that staggering vias can result in a more robust structure; however, staggering microvias is only a temporary solution to accommodate complex designs with microvias built with weak interface structures IPC-WP-023 white paper provides an investigation of these...
Manufacturers of high reliability electronics have been working for many years to mitigate the deleterious effects of tin whisker formation. One highly effective means to suppress the growth of tin whiskers is to replace the pure tin plating with reflowed tin-lead solder. One approach is to fully consume the tin plating by tin-lead solder during the SMT reflow process. This phenomenon of tin...
"Embedded Capacitor Technology; Status, Opportunity and Challenges" was presented by John Andresakis, vice president of strategic technology, Oak-Mitsui at the IPC Conference for the PCB Industry: Critical Issues for the Military Market, Washington D.C., in December 2011.The author explains how the use of this technology improves the performance, reliability and assembly cost of printed boards and...
