The IPC-WP-113A white paper provides guidance to reduce and control exposure to environmental conditions and contamination that promote the development of Red Plague. A template for developing a Red Plague Control Plan (RPCP) is included.
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...
The IPC-WP-026 white paper explores blockchain as an emerging technology that has a core strength in providing an immutable, auditable, transparent and secure environment for data exchanges. These advantages make it a prime candidate for implementation in the electronics industry. The IPC-WP-026 white paper explores blockchain and its limitations and challenges. It also provides a few directions...
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...
Status of the technology discussion on the various methodologies for mounting and interconnecting active devices to a variety of substrate materials is summarized in this document. Reviews mounting techniques of tape automated bonding (TAB), chip on board (COB) and flip chip. Examinations of the most commonly used substrate options of laminate, ceramic and silicon are also reviewed. Editor: John...
This technical paper covers the testing and evaluation of polymeric conformal coatings for moisture and insulation resistance (MIR) and dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV). This effort was initiated by the IPC Conformal Coating Task Group to support technical decisions for IPC coating specification CC-830 as part of the Revision C process. MIR testing was done per a modified method of IPC-TM-650...
IPC-9121 AM1 is an amendment to IPC-9121 which provides updates to the Hole Preparation/Protection and Interconnect Formation sections, covering troubleshooting topics and guidance on nonconductive plugging paste, microvias and pattern plating rim voids. IPC-9121 AM1 also includes a new section on Flexible Circuits.
The IPC-1791-Am1 provides revisions and clarifications for requirements pertaining to CAGE Code, citizenship, security, foreign person access, traceability records and NIST SP 800-171 compliance.
