Webinar – Preventing Manufacturing Defects & Product Failures
November 15, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
This webinar will preview the IPC APEX EXPO 2023 professional development course, “Preventing Product Failure and Manufacturing Defects.” Join Dr. Jennie S. Hwang to explore how to prevent prevailing production defects and product reliability issues that affect the first-pass yield/cost/performance by understanding potential causes and plausible solutions.
The webinar will cover product failure as related to tin whisker and five production defects including PCB pad cratering vs. pad lifting, BGA head-on-pillow, open or insufficient solder joints, copper dissolution and lead-free through-hole barrel filling.
The root causes/preventive measures for the five prevalent production defects; and specific defects associated with the reliability of BTC/PoP/BGA assembly will be highlighted. Tin whisker criteria for reliability implications and the relative effectiveness of mitigating measures will be ranked.
