X-Ray Inspection for BGA

Assembly
Our automated X-ray inspection systems are able to monitor a variety

of aspects of a printed circuit board in assembly production. The

inspection is done after the soldering process to monitor defects in

soldering quality. Our equipment is able to”see” solder joints that are

under packages such as BGAs, CSPs and FLIP chips WHERE the solder

joints are hidden.

This allows us to verify that the assembly is done right. The defects and

other information detected by the inspection system can be quickly

analyzed and the process altered to reduce the defects and improve

the quality of the final products. In this way not only are actual faults

detected, but the process can be altered to reduce the fault levels on

the boards coming through. Use of this equipment allows us to ensure

that the highest standards are maintained in our assembly.

Components Quality control

To make sure the components to be used are good quality, there are

several processes that we follow:

1. An overview of the visual electronic components inspection process

includes:

 RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

* Packaging examined:

-Weighed and checked for damage

-Taping condition inspected-dented package etc.

-Original factory sealed vs. non-factory sealed

* Shipping documents verified

-Country of origin

-Purchase order and sales order numbers match

* Manufacturer P/N, quantity, date code verification, RoHS

* Moisture barrier protection verified (MSL)-vacuum sealed

and humidity indicator with specification (HIC)

* Products and packaging (photographed and cataloged)

* Body marking inspection (faded markings, broken text, double

print, ink stamps, etc.)

* Physical conditions inspection (lead bands, scratches, chipped

edges, etc.)

* Any other visual irregularities found

Once our visual distribution inspection is completed, products are

escalated to the next level-electronic components engineering

distribution inspection for review.

2. Engineering Components Inspection

Our highly skilled and trained engineers receive the components for

evaluation at a microscopic level to ensure consistency and quality. Any

suspect parts or discrepancies that are discovered in the visual

inspection process will either be verified or discounted by taking a

product sampling of the material/parts.

The engineering electronic components distribution inspection

process includes:

* Review visual inspection findings and notes

* Purchase and sales orders numbers verified

* Verification of labels (bar codes)

* Manufacturer’s logo and date log verification

* Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and RoHS status

* Extensive marking permanency tests

* Review and comparison to manufacturer datasheet

* Additional photos taken and cataloged

* Solderibility Testing, the samples undergo an accelerated ‘aging

‘ process before being tested for solderibility, to take into

consideration the natural aging effects of storage prior to board-

mounting; In addition to the Engineering Components Inspection

we have a higher level of inspection under the customer request.

3. By customer request, all components can pass a thorough final

inspection in our Assembly facility.
