Assembly Notes

Component placement and adhesive attachment assembly notes:

• Vacuum pencils and/or vacuum collets are the preferred method of pick up.

• Air bridges must be avoided during placement.

• The force impact is critical during auto placement.

Reflow process assembly notes:

• Use AuSn (80/20) solder and limit exposure to temperatures above 300 °C to 3 – 4 minutes, maximum.

• An alloy station or conveyor furnace with reducing atmosphere should be used.

• Do not use any kind of flux.

• Coefficient of thermal expansion matching is critical for long-term reliability.

• Devices must be stored in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.

Interconnect process assembly notes:

• Thermosonic ball bonding is the preferred interconnect technique.

• Force, time, and ultrasonic are critical parameters.

• Aluminum wire should not be used.

• Devices with small pad sizes should be bonded with 0.0007-inch wire.
