title = "Laser soldering of surface mount components and memory chips",
abstract = "Laser soldering has advantages of localized heating and small focused spot size which make it an attractive technique for bonding temperature sensitive surface mount device (SMD) with small lead pitch onto a printed wiring board (PWB). Using a Nd:YAG laser, we have application - a quad ceramic chip with 224 leads (with 0.025″ lead spacing) and 16-pin memory chips (with 0.020″ spacing). Laser soldering was used to bond the components, without solder paste, onto appropriate pre-tinned substrates. Thermal modelling of the process was carried out, using a commercial finite element package. Miniature thermocouples were also used to verify model predictions by measuring the temperature profiles in real time. The laser bonder will be incorporated into a robot-controlled station with an intelligent vision system for component placement/inspection.",
