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-021 white paper considers conformal coatings, like many high-performance materials, have evolved considerably since the 1990s. New coatings, such as fluoropolymers or hybrid coatings, have come on the market, many of which offer superior protection characteristics, but do not fit into the existing classifications of either MIL-I-46058 or IPC-CC-830. The IPC-WP-021 white paper discusses...
IPC-WP-024 is a white paper which discusses the issues associated with reliability of smart textiles (e-textiles structures) following multiple washing cycles and emphasizes efforts that industry and research laboratories must undertake to make e-textile structures more robust and able to be washed similarly to everyday textile products (e.g., underwear, clothing, home textiles and technical...
This white paper is a benchmarking exercise of e-textile integrations, providing an introductory categorization of how the current market sector is using textile-based electrical components to achieve integrated functionality. This peer assessment provides a baseline understanding of e-textile process techniques, requirements and resources within this emerging sector.
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...
The IPC Solder Products Value Council’s Technical Subcommittee Report “Take Action Limits (TAL) for SAC305 Lead Free Soldering Processes Utilizing Solder Baths/Pots” reports on research on take action limits of solder pot contamination for SAC305 lead-free solder. As opposed to one maximum contamination level, the IPC SPVC opted to identify three action levels: Normal operation defined as the...
A discussion was held in the 5-33AWG (ad hoc working group), on things that conformal coat professionals (materials and processes) wish designers knew about conformal coating. The 5-33AWG group is comprised of individuals from OEMs, coating suppliers, and test lab personnel.
IPC-WP-019A a revised white paper provides an overview of ionic cleanliness requirements, providing examples of tests and requirements for acceptability from a residue/cleanliness standpoint. The history of ROSE testing is also provided, with explanations of the shortcomings of that testing.
IPC-TR-587 technical report delivers results of a major study on conformal coating. In most manufacturing specifications, conformal coating thickness is defined as the thickness of the final polymer film on a flat, unencumbered surface of the assembly, however conformal coating thickness on other assembly and component surfaces is not characterized. IPC-TR-587 is a report outlining an IPC study of...
This document details the test procedures, test results and team conclusions for the IPC Cleaning and Cleanliness Testing Program, Phase 3, Low Solids Flux in Ambient Air. This effort has been part of a multi-stage program to investigate material and process alternatives to the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in electronics manufacturing. This Phase 3 effort has been dedicated to characterizing...
This original research was a cooperative effort between the EMPF and IPC, released as EMPF-RR-0013 in 1993 for better understanding of ionic cleanliness testing. The IPC Ionic Conductivity/Ion Chromatography Test Task Group has validated its continued importance and relevance to the cleaning community and IPC-TR-583 is the result. It includes how solvent temperature influences the final...
This technical report provides full detail of the round robin study charged with assessing the use of Interconnect Stress Test (IST) as a test for incoming inspection in lieu of Thermal Stress in the detection of innerlayer separations in plated-through holes. Includes background on the Post Separation Task Group, test results, round robin test plan, conclusions and test methods used. 51 pages...
Details the results of a two-year study to determine the effect of steam aging exposure on components. A variety of solderable finishes were used. A small production simulation utilized preconditioned and as-received samples and tested a total of 2,000 joints. 15 pages. Released July 1996.
This addendum to J-STD-001, originally developed for Revision B but also applicable to Revision C, proposes solutions for cost-effective testing and increased implementation. Also covers other assembly test methods that are not addressed in J-STD-001. 12 pages. Released October 1996. Now available in electronic format.
A Technical Paper by Dr. Jack Brous discussing ionic cleanliness measurement, testing methods and cleanliness standards in relation to product reliability. Also includes a brief discussion of no-clean fluxes. 8 pages. Released 1994
