4.2.2.1 Mechanical Specifications
The solder balls on the bottom of the reduced-lead package are slightly smaller, which will decrease the
overall module height when assembled onto a system board. Heatsink solutions should be modified accord-
ingly
.
4.2.2.2 Assembly Considerations
The reduced-lead package is compatible with a 260
°C lead-free card assembly reflow profile. See the Inter-
national Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) Consortium,
www.inemi.org, for industry-standard
assembly and rework information. The coplanarity specification for the reduced-lead CBGA, like other single
melt BGA packages, is 0.20 mm (8 mil). The qualification testing included a lead-free, water-soluble solder
paste with type 3 mesh size (-325
±500). The solder alloy is 95.5% Sn, 4.0% Ag, and 0.5% Cu, with a 90%
metal loading. The paste viscosity range is 600 to 800 thousands of centipoises (kcps). The thickness of the
stencil is 4 mils and the aperture diameter is 23 mils. The target solder paste volume range is between 1400
to 2000 cubic mils. Achieving the correct paste volume is necessary to eliminate solder shorts and produce
high reliability solder joints. The actual solder paste volume from the qualification build ranged from 1750 to
2000 cubic mils.
The JEDEC moisture sensitivity level is MSL 3 for the reduced-lead package. Storage and assembly proto-
cols should be modified accordingly.
