Industry Experts Prasad, Engelmaier and Hwang Lead Workshops at Upcoming IPC/JEDEC Lead-Free Conference
BANNOCKBURN, Ill., USA, February 20, 2009 - Ray Prasad, Werner Engelmaier, Dr. Jennie Hwang, and technical experts from DfR Solutions will look at critical issues for lead-free implementation, process and reliability in workshops held at the IPC/JEDEC "Transitioning to Lead Free - Strategies for Implementation" conference in Santa Clara, Calif., taking place between March 3 and March 5.
The full-day conference on March 4 will cover such topics as: supply chain communication for a lead-free world, aerospace response to lead-free solder, lead-free implementation for small outline no-lead (SON) and quad flat no-lead (QFN) devices, mitigation of corrosion-induced tin whiskers, and more. Attendees can enhance the event's networking potential by bringing a colleague at no charge if they register for the technical conference by Thursday, February 26.
In addition to the in-depth technical conference, a series of workshops will be held before and after the conference on March 3 and March 5. The courses are:
PD-01: Four Ps of SMT in a Lead-Free World: Principles, Practice, Promises and Problems - Instructor: Ray Prasad. The objective of this course is to identify the technical issues in through hole, SMT, BGA, fine-pitch technology and the impact of lead free that must be resolved for an effective implementation of mixed assembly electronic products for both tin-lead and lead free.
PD-02: Lead-Free Soldering Processes - Survival, Quality, Reliability - Instructor: Werner Engelmaier. This course will examine the three major threats to electronic product reliability: solder joint reliability, printed circuit board survival during soldering (and long-term reliability) and component survival during soldering processes and explore solutions that can help assure the reliability of electronic assemblies.
PD-03: Lead-Free Systems Performance & Reliability - Present & Future - Instructor: Dr. Jennie Hwang. This half-day course provides a holistic view of state-of-the-art lead-free performance and reliability, based on the speaker's three textbooks.
PD-04: BGA/CSP WLP Lead-Free Reliability in Packaging & Assembly - Instructor: Dr. Jennie Hwang. This course addresses critical questions and tackles prevalent issues related to lead-free BGA packages and assemblies, including reflow, production yields, compatibility between SAC balls with lead-free solder paste, and mixed use of lead-free and tin-lead.
PD-05: Understanding Failure and Root-Cause Analysis in Lead-Free Electronics - Instructor: John McNulty, DfR Solutions. This half-day course will use case studies to discuss failure mechanisms for lead-free component packaging, discrete components, printed boards and interconnects and the tools and techniques to identify those mechanisms.
PD-06: A Practical Guide to Managing Your Lead-Free Transition - Randy Schueller, DfR Solutions. Completion of this half-day course should prepare students for creating a comprehensive lead-free development plan for their own products.
