Solutions for Advanced Rework Challenges
SMT Magazine (October 2005) cover story. Discusses solutions for today's latest rework challenges, including: small passives, single-ball reballing, stacked die, using integrated dispense, terhmal management, accuracy issues and lead-free.

Lead-Free BGA Assembly
Assembly Magazine
Could a flip-chip ball-grid array (FCBGA) with 780 I/O be successfully assembled with lead-free solder at a peak reflow temperature below 260 C? How would lead-free solder affect joint reliability? How would it affect rework? A study was conducted to find out.

Assembly with Intel Components: Rework Practices
The technology and process knowledge to effectively and efficiently repair BGAs already exists. An added attraction for BGA packages is that they are compatible with existing surface mount technology (SMT) assembly processes and equipment, so rework is fairly simple. To learn more about BGA rework practices, see:
