13. Soldering
13.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in our
Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit
Packages
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave
soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine
pitch SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended. In these situations
reflow soldering is recommended.
13.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and
binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling
or pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and
environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared
heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and
cooling) vary between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 to 270 °C depending on solder
paste material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be
kept:
below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)
for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages
for packages with a thickness 2.5 mm
for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume 350 mm
3
so called
thick/large packages.
below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with
a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm
3
so called small/thin packages.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all
times.
13.3 Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices
(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging
and non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically
developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal
results:
Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high
upward pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.

For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be
parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle
to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must
incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of
adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 to 4 seconds at 250 °C or
265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in
most applications.
13.4 Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low
voltage (24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time
must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within
2 to 5 seconds between 270 and 320 °C.
13.5 Package related soldering information
[1] For more detailed information on the BGA packages refer to the
(LF)BGA Application Note
(AN01026); order a copy from your Philips Semiconductors sales office.
[2] All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the
maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal
or external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called
popcorn effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the
Data Handbook IC26; Integrated
Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods

[3] These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reflow soldering conditions and must
on no account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reflow
soldering with peak temperature exceeding 217 °C ± 10 °C measured in the atmosphere of the reflow
oven. The package body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.
[4] These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom
side, the solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with
the heatsink on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
[5] If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave
direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
[6] Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it
is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
[7] Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or
larger than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than
0.5 mm.
[8] Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered
pre-mounted on flex foil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted by the client on a flex
foil by using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering profile can be provided on
request.
[9] Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages.
