  • Reflow Soldering: Meeting the SMT Challenge

    by Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee

    Reflow soldering of solder paste is the primary interconnection method used in SMT assembly process. The major issues which plague the reflow soldering performance include, but not limited to, bottom-side-component-holding, bridging, dewetting, low-residue, opening, solder balling, solder beading, solder-fillet-lifting, tombstoning, defective balling for BGA, and voiding. The mechanisms, causes, and cures for each issue are briefly discussed in this article.
