Andrew Paradise, Northrop GrummanMicroscopy (SEM) is presented. Case studies where an analysis with SEM is applied to a PCBA failure are presented and the students are given an opportunity to use the SEM located in the EMPF’s Analytical Laboratory, on their own samples.

2. Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy: Training on the theory of operation and applications of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) is presented. The capabilities of EDX are described, as well as techniques that are available to avoid the limitations of EDX. Students are also given an opportunity to work with EDX in the EMPF’s Analytical Laboratory.

3. Solderability Analysis: Training is provided on the solder wetting requirements for PCB solderable surfaces. Solderability test methods provided in IPC documents are presented, including solder float testing and wetting balance testing. The use of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) on PCB solderable surfaces to indicate potential solderability problems is covered. Finally, a discussion of best practices for storage of PCBs, solders, and flux materials, and the potential effects of poor storage practices on solderability, is provided.

4. Sequential Electrochemical Reduction Analysis: Training on the theory and applications of Sequential Electrochemical Reduction Analysis (SERA) is presented. The requirements for samples undergoing SERA testing are explained and the oxides that can be quantified are described. A laboratory experience is provided for the students using XRF and SERA techniques.

5. PCB Fabrication Defects: Defects in the manufacture of PCBs and the manner in which they manifest as defects in PCBAs are presented. The effects of surface finish defects, solderability defects, solder resist defects, drilling defects, and contamination defects on PCBAs are presented. Cross-sectional analysis techniques are described and the application of Scanning Acoustical Microscopy on multi-layer PCBs is explained.

6. Thermal and Thermo-mechanical Testing: The effects of coefficient of thermal expansion mismatches and mechanical creep as a result of thermal stress testing is presented. Common temperature profiles used in thermal stress testing on PCBAs are described.

7. Design for Manufacturability: The effects of bow and twist on the long term reliability of PCBAs are described and methods to avoid failures caused by bow and twist are presented. The benefits and drawbacks of the use of laser-cut micro vias on Ball Grid Array package sites are explained.

8. Rework and Repair: IPC standards on the topic of rework and repair of PCBAs are presented. Common materials, equipment, and techniques used by PCBA assemblers for rework and repair are explained as well as the effect on long-term reliability of PCBAs that undergo rework and/or repair.

9. Lead Free Soldering and Analysis: The effects of processing PCBAs using lead free solders are presented. Specific information on the differences in metallurgical structures of solder joint between lead-bearing and lead free solders is included. The effect of lead contamination on lead free solder joints is explained. Tin whiskers and the current state of research on tin whiskers are discussed. Defects that occur more commonly when PCBs are exposed to lead free solder processes are presented, including outgassing, delamination, and land lifting.

Customized training courses are available through the EMPF, both at our location and at your facility. To discuss your organization’s specific training needs, schedules for standard courses, or to register for a course, please contact the Registrar at (610) 362-1295 or via email at registrar@empf.org Join your peers and distinguished experts as they discuss the latest topics affecting the electronics industry.Often the information is so new, the technical paper has yet to be drafted. Hear candid and thought-provoking opinions on upcoming technology and market trends. Sessions will focus on electronics industry issues, as well as specific topics to help the PCB designer, manufacturer, or electronics assembler.These sessions are FREE to all registered attendees.Beyond Lead Free - WEEE/ROHS 2/24/2004 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM Fern Abrams, IPCWhile everyone has been focused on building lead-free circuit boards and solder connections, little attention has been paid to the other requirements under the European Union?s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS). Our panel discussion will provide you with insights into what leading companies are doing to prepare for the July 2006 compliance deadlines along with the latest developments in legislation, exemptions, and definitions of lead-free under WEEE and RoHS. Additionally, our panel will examine the ripple effects of this legislation on laws and regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere. Panelists include: * Heather Bowman, Electronic Industries Alliance * Mark Newton, Dell Computer Corp. * Kay Nimmo, ITRI * Eric Austerman, Jabil CircuitsDomestic PCB Technology Innovations at the Naval Surface Warfare Center - Crane 2/26
