4.1 Solder Paste

The quality of the paste print is an important factor in producing high-yield assemblies. The paste is the vehicle that provides the flux and solder alloy necessary for a reliable and repeatable assembly process. A low residue, no-clean solder (SN63/Pb37 or SAC alloy) paste is commonly used in mounting QFN and SON, however, water-soluble flux materials can be used as well if the residues can be adequately cleaned from the board. Typically, the choice of solder paste determines the profile and reflow parameters. Most paste manufacturers provide a suggested thermal profile for their products and must be referenced before manufacturing. Special SMD-specific solder pastes are being marketed by paste vendors that minimize voiding in the solder joint. If low-standoff parts such as CSPs and QFNs are to be used, highly aggressive solder fluxes are not recommended unless they can be cleaned from under the parts. TI recommends that the solder-paste manufacturer’s recommended temperature profile be used to optimize flux activity within the MSL (moisture sensitivity level) guidelines for the most thermally sensitive component. Refer to J-STD-033 for more details on MSL classification.
