DESCRIPTION WS-483 is an organically activated formulation developed to better resist the effects of increased humidity levels. WS-483 offers improved heat and humidity resistance, while maintaining high tack and resistance to slump. WS-483 also provides an exceptional post-process cleaning window and will not foam during the cleaning process, even in high pressure wash systems.

HANDLING

• WS-483 has a refrigerated shelf life of 6 months at 4°C/40°F. This product must be refrigerated. Do not freeze WS-483.

• Allow the solder paste to completely warm naturally to ambient temperature (8 hours is recommended) prior to breaking seal for use.

• Mix the product lightly and thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure even distribution of any separated material resulting from storage.

• Do not store new and used paste in the same container. Re-seal any opened containers while not in use. • Replace the internal plug in conjunction with the cap of the 500 gram jar to ensure the best possible seal.

PRINTER SETUP

These are suggested starting parameters for your screen printer. Some assumptions were made as to the printer types used in today’s applications, and adjustments will vary between equipment, application and facility environment.

PASTE APPLICATION

• Apply sufficient paste to the stencil to allow a smooth, even roll during the print cycle. A bead diameter of 1/2 to

5/8 inch is normally sufficient to begin. • Apply small amounts of fresh solder paste to the stencil at frequent, controlled intervals to maintain paste

chemistry and workable properties. • Cleaning of your stencil will vary according to the application; however, cleaning can be accomplished using AIM

200AX-10 or DJAW-10 Stencil Cleaners. Use these in moderation and remove any excess cleaner from stencil.

REFLOW DATA See attached Reflow Profile Supplement.

CLEANING WS-483 can be cleaned easily with normal tap water. Deionized water is recommended for the final rinse. A temperature of 100° - 150°F is sufficient for removing residues. An in-line or other pressurized spray cleaning system is suggested, but is not required.

SAFETY • Use with adequate ventilation and proper personal protective equipment. • Refer to the accompanying Material Safety Data Sheet for any specific emergency information. • Do not dispose of any lead-containing materials in non-approved containers.

REFLOW PROFILE SUPPLEMENT

ALLOYS: Sn63/Pb37 and Sn62/Pb36/Ag2

Ramp-Soak-Spike (RSS): Recommended profile.

RSS Profile Guidelines • The typical initial rate of rise for the RSS profile is 1.4 to 1.8°C/second. • Ramp up to 150°C and then soak the assembly for 30 to 60 seconds. • The soak zone should be controlled between 150 -170°C. Above this point the paste will lose its activator. • Proceed to spike immediately once the PCB has reached thermal stability. • Peak temperature is 215ºC ± 5ºC. • Time above liquidus is 45 ± 15 seconds. • The total profile length should be between 2 3⁄4 - 3 1⁄2 minutes from ambient to peak temperature. • Cool down should be controlled within 4°C/second.

Ramp-to-Spike (RTS)

RTS Profile Guidelines • The typical rate of rise for the RTS profile is 0.7 to 1.5°C/second. • The profile should be a straight line or concave; it should not be convex. • 2/3 of the profile should be below 150°C. • Peak temperature is 215ºC ± 5ºC. • Time above liquidus is 60 ± 15 seconds. • The total profile length should be between 3 1⁄2 - 4 minutes from ambient to peak temperature. • Cool down should be controlled within 4°C/second.

Low-Long-Spike (LSP): Designed to eliminate/reduce voiding

LSP Guidelines • The typical initial rate of rise for the LSP profile is 1.25°C/second. • Ramp up to 120°C and then soak the assembly for 120 to 180 seconds. • Proceed to spike immediately after exiting the soak zone. • Peak temperature is 215ºC ± 5ºC. • Time above liquidus is 60 ± 15 seconds. • The total profile length should be between 4 1⁄2 - 5 minutes from ambient to peak temperature. • Cool down should be controlled within 4°C/second.

AIM Solder BGA Analysis The purpose of this analysis was to characterize and evaluate the ball structure of AIM Sn63 WS 483 solder paste on two different sized ball grid array packages. First, two devices were located which exhibited a 0.8 mm and 1.27 mm ball pitch. Next, corresponding Sn/Pb circuit boards were procured. As requested, the low soak spike profile seen below was utilized in the reflow of the populated circuit board. To ensure the correct reflow profile was being applied to the circuit board, an unpopulated test board was fitted with thermocouples and run through the reflow oven several times to optimize oven parameters.

Once the components were procured and the reflow profile achieved, the solder paste was applied to the circuit board via screen-printing. Stencil thickness for the 0.8 mm and 1.27 mm package was 6 mil and 4 mil respectively. Upon completion of screen-printing, the components were placed using an ERSA PL500A manual vision placement system. Finally, the samples were loaded into the Heller 1700W and reflow of the packages was achieved. Once the samples were produced, real time x-ray images were captured to evaluate the placement of the devices. Upon x-ray inspection, both devices correct placement was confirmed. Furthermore, both devices exhibited very minimal voiding as seen in Figure 2. Additionally, isometric images were capture to verify the collapse, first and second stage, of the BGA balls, and can be found in the comprehensive data portion of this report. Once x-ray analysis was completed, the samples were cut out of the board and mounted in encapsulating material for scanning electron microscopic (SEM) cross sectional analysis. Upon final curing of the encapsulant, the samples were polished to a plane corresponding to a row of BGA balls and etched in a diluted fluoroboric acid bath. The purpose of the etching process was to enhance the grain structure of the solder intermetallic interface and allow for easier visual identification.

Upon etching in the fluoroboric acid bath, the samples were carbon coated in order to analyze with the SEM. Upon SEM inspection, the ball composition and physical characteristics were assessed and found to be of good quality. The intermetallic interface was also evaluated under high magnification, and while the thickness of the intermetallic regions differed in size between the two devices, the integrity of the zone was intact on both. The ball integrity, as illustrated in the image below, was excellent. Additional testing included elemental identification of the materials in and surrounding the intermetallic region using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results of that analysis indicated no problems and can be found in the comprehensive data portion of this report.

In conclusion, the visual and elemental characteristics of the ball grid array interfaces on both packages were very near optimal. Validation of the thermal profile was provided by the lack of any significant voiding in either package, while cross sectional images of both packages show initial and final collapse of the solder balls.
