| The Ten Major Steps of SMT Assembly |
| Addtime：2017/3/11 21:49:49 Clidk：7884 |
Here is the complete translation of the Ten Steps of SMT Assembly with all detailed descriptions:
Step 1:
Product Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Over the years, although DFM has been defined in various ways, one fundamental concept remains the same: in order to achieve the highest possible yield with the shortest cycle time and the lowest cost during the manufacturing stage, DFM must be specifically addressed during the conceptual phase of new product development.
Step 2:
Process Control
With the rapid development of the Internet and e-commerce, which now hold strategic positions in the sales market, OEMs are facing increasingly fierce competition. The time-to-market for product development is shortening dramatically, and the pressure on profit margins has in fact increased. At the same time, Contract Manufacturers (CMs) find that customer requirements are rising: production must be qualified and licensed, and the electronic components on products must be functional and traceable. As a result, documentation has become indispensable.
Step 3:
Soldering Materials
Solder serves as the interconnection material at all three levels: die, package, and board assembly. In addition, tin/lead solder is commonly used for component leads and PCB surface finishes. Considering the technical pros and cons already associated with lead (Pb), solders can be classified as leaded or lead-free. At present, viable substitute materials have been found in lead-free systems for component and PCB surface finishes. However, for the interconnection material itself, the search for a practical lead-free system is still ongoing. This section summarizes the basic knowledge of tin/lead soldering materials and the performance factors of solder joints, followed by a brief discussion on lead-free solders.
Step 4:
Solder Paste Printing (Stencil Printing)
In reflow soldering for surface mount assembly, solder paste acts as the interconnection medium between component leads/terminals and the solder pads on the PCB. Apart from the solder paste itself, various factors are involved in the printing process, including the printer, the printing method, and the process parameters. Among these, the printing process itself is the primary focus.
Step 5:
Adhesive/Epoxy and Dispensing
The viscosity of the adhesive, good dot profile, good wet strength and curing strength, and dot size must be clearly specified. CAD or other methods are used to instruct the automatic equipment where to place the adhesive dots. The dispensing equipment must have adequate precision, speed, and repeatability to achieve a balance in application cost. Some typical dispensing issues must be anticipated during process design.
Step 6:
Component Placement
Today's surface mount placement equipment must not only be capable of accurately placing a wide variety of components, but also of handling increasingly smaller component packages. The equipment must maintain its flexibility to adapt to new components that may become the mainstream in electronic packaging. Equipment users—both OEMs and CMs—are facing exciting times, and the key to success lies in the ability of placement equipment suppliers to meet customer requirements and deliver products in the shortest possible time.
Step 7:
Soldering (Reflow Soldering)
This includes batch reflow soldering, process parameter control, the effects of reflow temperature profiles, nitrogen-protected reflow, temperature measurement, and reflow profile optimization.
Step 8:
Cleaning
Cleaning is often described as a "non-value-added" process, but is this realistic? Or is it an oversimplification that hinders careful consideration of complex issues? Without reliable products and the lowest possible cost, a company cannot survive in today's global economy. Therefore, every step in the manufacturing process must be carefully examined to ensure that it contributes to overall success.
Step 9:
Testing and Inspection
The strategy for selecting testing and inspection is based on the complexity of the board, which includes many aspects: surface mount or through-hole, single-sided or double-sided, component count (including fine-pitch components), solder joints, and electrical and visual characteristics. Here, the focus is on the number of components and solder joints.
Step 10:
Rework and Repair
Instead of viewing rework as a "necessary evil," enlightened managers understand that the combination of proper tools and improved technician training can make rework an efficient and cost-effective step in the overall assembly process.
