Laser Soldering Services

Many materials and components cannot endure the stress of elevated temperatures. For conventional reflow processing, materials and components may experience temperatures above 220 °C. In 2003, Analog began working on solutions to attach components in applications that could not withstand these temperatures. As a result, Analog developed it’s own proprietary laser soldering machine. Once the laser soldering machine was realized, other applications were addressed including laser balling and re-balling.
   
Laser Balling and Re-balling
 
  • Re-ball BGAs or CSPs without sacrificing heat cycles
  • Maintain component reliability
  • Improved solder joint quality
  • Lead-free to lead/lead and lead/lead to lead-free conversions
  •  
     
    Convection Reflow: Solder Balls attached in a convection oven with nitrogen. Irregular shape is caused by some oxygen presence(~75 ppm).
    Laser Reflow: Typical untouched pristine appearance of laser-reflowed solder balls re-balled using proprieatary process on the same BGA.
