Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of reflow soldering of electronic assembly, and particularly relates to a reflow soldering tin bead prevention process method for SMD packaged MOS tube devices. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for the reliability of printed board assembly solder joints of electronic products, after reflow soldering of components, the bottom of the components is not allowed to have tin beads and other excess materials.

[0003] At present, in electronic products, ignition control products often use SMD packaged (surface mount package) MOS tube devices to control the ignition path switch, stabilize the voltage and protect the front circuit. Such products have common design features. In order to meet the functional requirements of ignition control, SMD packaged MOS tube devices are often used in design. In order to meet the requirements of miniaturization design, SMD-0.5 packaged MOS tubes are often selected in electrical design to achieve the use requirements of large current and high reliability and long service life. After SMD packaged MOS tubes are printed with tin paste and reflow soldered, good solder joints are formed. However, after the reflow soldering of such devices, tin beads are prone to appear in the T-shaped groove area at the bottom of the device. The free tin beads need to be cleaned after reflow soldering because they violate the minimum electrical clearance. The existence of tin beads at the bottom of the device is prone to cause short circuit of components or circuit connection, or cause breakdown of components under power-on. The tin bead problem is a key problem at present.

[0004] The tin beads at the bottom of the MOS tube device need to be observed by means of X-RAY equipment. The cleaning process of the tin beads needs to be repeated multiple times and observed by X-RAY, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. In addition, some small tin beads cannot be removed after multiple cleanings, which may cause potential quality risks. For example, the width of the T-shaped groove of some SMD packaged MOS tube devices is only 0.6 mm. According to the requirements of electrical safety clearance or product performance, the size of the tin bead should be no more than 0.06 mm or no free tin bead should exist. The cleaning process of the tin bead consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. In addition, during the reflow soldering process, some small tin beads are difficult to be completely removed by conventional cleaning methods due to their small size and hidden position. These small tin beads may have a potential impact on the electrical performance and reliability of the MOS tube device, thereby increasing the quality risk of the product and possibly leading to an increase in the failure rate of the end product. At present, the tin bead problem at the bottom of such devices is only improved by printing a steel mesh to prevent tin beads, adjusting the reflow curve, or investing more manpower and material resources in the cleaning process. The probability of tin bead generation at the bottom of the MOS tube device is still high, and the problem cannot be effectively solved. SUMMARY

[0046] The embodiment provides a SMD packaging MOS tube device reflow soldering tin bead prevention process method, and mainly solves the problem of tin bead at the bottom of a device in existing SMD packaging MOS tube device reflow soldering, which affects product quality. The application is characterized in that a tinning tool matched with the MOS tube device body and the welding end and a tinning steel mesh are designed, a certain thickness of tin is plated on the surface of the welding end of the MOS tube device through a reflow furnace, the flux on the surface of the MOS tube device after tinning is cleaned, then the reflow soldering steel mesh for preventing tin bead is designed according to the printed board pad of the MOS tube device, and the welding end of the MOS tube device after tinning is reflow soldered with the corresponding pad of the printed board. Compared with the ordinary reflow soldering mode, the number of tin beads at the bottom of the MOS tube device after welding is reduced by 60%, the method can be applied to SMD packaging MOS tube devices of different sizes, and is suitable for mass production.

[0047] The embodiment takes SMD-0.5 packaging MOS tube devices as an example to introduce the SMD packaging MOS tube device reflow soldering tin bead prevention process method. Referring to Figure 11 , the MOS tube device 2 is a hexahedral structure, and has three welding ends including one large welding end 21 and two small welding ends 22 at the bottom. The three welding ends of the MOS tube device need to be welded with the MOS tube device pads on the printed board, and a T-shaped groove 23 is formed between the three welding ends. By using the traditional process method, there are many tin beads in the T-shaped groove 23 at the bottom of the device after reflow soldering, which is difficult to clean and affects the product quality.

[0048] The SMD packaging MOS tube device reflow soldering tin bead prevention process method comprises the following steps.

[0049] Step 1, a tinning tool 1 is designed, and the MOS tube device 2 is installed on the tinning tool 1.

[0050] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the tinning tool 1 for the surface welding end of the SMD packaging component device is made according to the welding end size of the MOS tube device to be packaged. The main body of the tinning tool 1 is plate-shaped, and process edges 12 are arranged at both ends of the main body for placing the tinning tool 1 on the track of the reflow soldering equipment, and a device tray matching groove 13 is arranged in the middle. The device tray matching groove 13 is a rectangular annular groove matched with the edge of the MOS tube device tray. A plurality of MOS tube device placing grooves 11 are uniformly distributed in the blocking area of the device tray matching groove 13, and each placing groove 11 corresponds to one MOS tube device 2. The position, spacing and number of the MOS tube device placing grooves 11 are matched with the MOS tube device tray, so that the MOS tube devices 2 of the entire device tray can be flipped into the MOS tube device placing grooves 11 of the tinning tool 1 at one time when the MOS tube devices are installed on the tinning tool 1, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0051] The depth of the MOS tube device placement groove 11 is the same as the thickness of the MOS tube device 2. When placed, the solder end of the MOS tube device 2 faces upwards, away from the placement groove, and its solder end is coplanar with the upper surface of the tinning tool, facilitating subsequent tinning of the tinned steel mesh covering the device solder end.

[0052] In this embodiment, taking SMD-0.5 devices as an example, the structure of the tinning tool is designed as a tool main body with a length of 176 mm and a width of 140 mm; a process edge with a width of 5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm; device tray matching grooves with adjacent groove widths of 5 mm and 5.5 mm; MOS tube device placement grooves 11 with a length of 7.6 mm and a width of 10.4 mm.

[0053] Step 2, design a tinning steel mesh 3 to tin the solder end of the MOS tube device 2.

[0054] Referring to Figures 4-6 The tinning steel mesh 3 is provided with a plurality of groups of tinning mesh holes corresponding to the placement grooves 11 on the tinning tool 1, which are used to print solder paste on the solder end of the plurality of MOS tube devices 2 installed on the tinning tool 1. Each group of tinning mesh holes is three holes, each group of tinning mesh holes corresponds to the three solder ends of the MOS tube device 2, and is respectively located at the central position of the three solder ends, and the opening area of each group of mesh holes is not greater than 75% of the solder end area of the MOS tube device 2. Specifically, one group of tinning mesh holes of the tinning steel mesh 3 includes a rectangular large solder end mesh hole 31 and two circular small solder end mesh holes 32, the large solder end mesh hole 31 corresponds to the large solder end 21 of the MOS tube device 2, and the two small solder end mesh holes 32 correspond to the two small solder ends 22 of the MOS tube device 2 respectively; the area ratio of the large solder end mesh hole 31 to the large solder end 21 of the MOS tube device is 3:4, and the mesh hole area ratio of the small solder end mesh hole 32 to the small solder end 22 of the MOS tube device is 1:2. By setting the opening position of the tinning steel mesh 3 in the solder end of the MOS tube device 2 and at the central position, it is ensured that the solder paste is located on the solder end of the device after printing, and will not stick to the device body or the T-shaped groove.

[0055] In order to match the solder end of the tinning tool 1 and the MOS tube device 2, the tinning steel mesh 3 is provided with mark points 33 matching the mark points of the tinning tool 1. In this embodiment, the thickness of the tinning steel mesh is designed to be 0.18 mm.

[0056] Referring to Figure 7 Install the tinning steel mesh 3 on the tinning tool 1 loaded with the MOS tube device 2, ensure that each group of tinning mesh holes corresponds to the solder end of each MOS tube device 2, apply solder paste to the printing steel mesh, and use a printer to print the solder paste, which will be printed on the solder end of the MOS tube device 2 through the openings of the tinning steel mesh 3.

[0057] Step 3, tin soldering and solidification of the MOS tube device soldering end after tin plating.

[0058] Remove the tin-plated steel mesh 3, and put the MOS tube device 2 printed with solder paste and the tin-plating tool 1 into the reflow furnace for tin soldering and solidification. High temperature makes the solder paste evenly spread on the soldering end surface of the MOS tube device 2, and the tin soldering process ends. The reflow furnace temperature curve is set according to the standard QJ3173-2003 and the recommended curve of the solder paste, and the temperature of the reflow zone needs to be higher than the melting point of the solder paste, and the peak temperature of the tin soldering reflow furnace is at least 12℃ higher than the melting point of the solder paste to ensure that the solder paste can melt, and the highest temperature cannot damage the performance of the MOS tube device.

[0059] Step 4, clean the MOS tube device 2 after tin soldering and solidification to remove the residual flux after the solder paste solidification.

[0060] Put the MOS tube device 2 into the anti-static box containing anhydrous ethanol, and the liquid level of the anhydrous ethanol is higher than the soldering end surface of the MOS tube device 2. After soaking for 5 minutes, use a soft brush to dip anhydrous ethanol to clean the residual flux on the soldering end of the MOS tube device 2 after the solder paste solidification.

[0061] Step 5, design the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 to print the solder paste on the MOS tube pad of the printed board.

[0062] Referring to Figures 8-10 , the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 is provided with a plurality of groups of mesh holes corresponding to the MOS tube pads on the printed board one by one, and the MOS tube pads on the printed board correspond to the soldering end of the MOS tube device 2. The reflow soldering steel mesh 4 is used to print the solder paste on the MOS tube pad of the printed board. Each group of mesh holes of the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 is three holes, which correspond to the three pads of each group of MOS tubes on the printed board one by one, and the opening area of each group of mesh holes is 25% of the area of each group of MOS tube pads on the printed board. Specifically, referring to Figure 10 , one group of mesh holes of the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 includes a large pad mesh hole 41 and two symmetrical small pad mesh holes 42. The large pad mesh hole 41 is rectangular, and its length is the same as the length of the large pad 6 on the printed board, and its width L3 is 1 / 4 of the width D3 of the large pad 6 on the printed board. The large pad mesh hole 41 is located at the end of the large pad 6 away from the small pad 5. The small pad mesh hole 42 is square, and its length L2 is 1 / 2 of the length D2 of the small pad on the printed board, and its width L1 is 1 / 2 of the width D1 of the small pad on the printed board. The small pad mesh hole 42 is located at the outer corner position of the small pad 5 away from the large pad 6. The opening position of the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 is away from the device edge of the T-shaped groove, which can avoid the tin beads formed by the tin paste splashing due to the volatilization of the flux during the reflow soldering process. The thickness of the reflow soldering steel mesh 4 in this embodiment is 0.12mm.

[0063] Solder paste is printed onto the MOS tube pad of the printed board through the reflow soldering steel mesh 4.

[0064] Step 6, mounting the MOS tube device 2, and performing reflow soldering.

[0065] After the MOS tube device is mounted on the MOS tube pad of the printed board after the solder paste is printed in step 5, the printed board with the mounted MOS tube device is placed into a reflow furnace for reflow soldering, the solder paste is melted to form a welding point, and the welding end of the MOS tube device 2 is welded to the MOS tube pad of the printed board.

[0066] Step 7, cleaning the circuit board.

[0067] After the welding in step 6 is completed, the welding point is cleaned, and the cleaned circuit board is placed into an anti-static tray for natural air drying. The specific cleaning process is as follows: the printed board, i.e., the circuit board, after welding is placed flat in the tray, and anhydrous ethanol is poured into the tray to cover the welding points of the components of the circuit board, and then the circuit board is soaked for 15-20 minutes, and then the welding points on the A and B sides of the circuit board are brushed with an anti-static brush. An appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol is poured into another tray, and the welding points are carefully brushed with an anti-static brush. The cleaned circuit board is placed into an anti-static tray for natural air drying. For the MOS tube device with a T-shaped groove at the bottom, a spray gun filled with anhydrous ethanol is used to flush the T-shaped groove. The flushing air pressure ranges from 0.1 MPa to 0.2 MPa. When the tin beads at the bottom of the MOS tube are not cleaned, the circuit board is soaked in ethanol for 15-20 minutes again, and then the spray gun is used for flushing until the tin beads are cleaned.

[0068] The MOS tube device 2 is observed by X-RAY to confirm the inspection of the tin beads at the bottom of the MOS tube device, and it is ensured that the tin beads are cleaned.

[0069] In this embodiment, the amount of solder paste of the SMD-0.5 packaged MOS tube device surface welding end plated with the tin steel mesh 3 and the amount of solder paste of the printed board reflow soldering steel mesh 4 should meet the welding point reliability. For example, the total amount of solder paste required for the SMD-0.5 packaged device is 100% of the area of the device welding end, and the thickness of the solder paste is 0.15 mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the tin steel mesh is made to be 0.18 mm, and the thickness of the anti-tin bead steel mesh for reflow soldering is made to be 0.12 mm.

[0070] The MOS tube device packaged by the SMD-0.5 is verified in this embodiment, and the MOS tube device is tested at three temperatures after being plated by using the process method of the present application and setting reasonable reflow soldering parameters. The alloy layer thickness of the welded device welding point is measured and a thrust test is performed, and the test results are all qualified, which can meet the high reliable welding requirements. The number of tin beads at the bottom of the MOS tube device is reduced by 60% compared with the ordinary reflow soldering method.

[0071] It should be noted that in another embodiment, the MOS device with SMD-1 and SMD-2 package can also use the process method of the present application. The difference is only that according to the MOS device body size and solder end matching tinning tool 1, tinning steel mesh 3, and the corresponding reflow solder steel mesh 4 on the MOS device pad on the printed board, different specifications of MOS devices can also exist on a circuit board.

[0072] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be construed as limiting the present application, and those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, replacements and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present application within the scope of the present application.

Install the tin-plated stencil onto the tin-plating fixture containing the MOSFET devices, ensuring that each set of tin-plated stencil holes corresponds to the solder terminal of each MOSFET device. Apply solder paste to the stencil and use a printer to print the solder paste onto the solder terminal of the MOSFET device. Step 3: Soldering the solder terminals of the MOSFET device and then curing it; Remove the tin-plating stencil, and then pass the printed solder paste MOSFET device along with the tin-plating fixture through a reflow oven for tin plating and curing. The peak temperature of the reflow oven for tin plating should be at least 12°C higher than the melting point of the solder paste. The maximum temperature should not damage the performance of the MOSFET device. Step 4: After the solder terminals of the MOSFET device are tinned and cured, clean them to remove any residual flux after the solder paste has cured. Step 5: Design the reflow soldering stencil and print solder paste on the MOS transistor pads of the printed circuit board; The reflow soldering stencil has multiple sets of mesh holes that correspond one-to-one with the MOSFET pads on the printed circuit board, used for printing solder paste onto the MOSFET pads on the printed circuit board; each set of mesh holes has three holes, corresponding one-to-one with the three pads of each group of MOSFETs on the printed circuit board, and the opening area of ​​each set of mesh holes is 25% of the area of ​​each group of MOSFET pads on the printed circuit board; The reflow soldering stencil has a set of mesh openings including a large pad mesh and two symmetrical small pad meshes. The large pad mesh is rectangular, with a length the same as the length of the large MOSFET pad on the printed circuit board and a width of 1 / 4 of the width of the large MOSFET pad on the printed circuit board. It is located at the end of the large pad away from the small pad. The small pad mesh is square, with a length of 1 / 2 the length of the small MOSFET pad on the printed circuit board and a width of 1 / 2 the width of the small MOSFET pad on the printed circuit board. The small pad mesh is located at the outer corner of the end of the small pad away from the large pad. Step 6: Mount the MOSFET devices and perform reflow soldering. After cleaning in step 4, the MOSFET device is mounted on the MOSFET pads of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board with the MOSFET device mounted is placed in a reflow oven for reflow soldering. The solder paste melts to form solder joints, and the solder ends of the MOSFET device are soldered to the MOSFET pads of the printed circuit board. Step 7: Circuit board cleaning. After completing step 6, clean the solder joints and place the cleaned circuit board in an anti-static tray to air dry naturally.

2. The process method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The tin plating fixture is plate-shaped with process edges at both ends and a device tray matching groove in the middle. The device tray matching groove is a rectangular annular groove that matches the perimeter of the MOS transistor device tray. Multiple MOS transistor device placement grooves are evenly distributed within the enclosure area of ​​the device tray matching groove. The position, spacing, and number of MOS transistor device placement grooves match the MOS transistor device tray. This is used to flip the entire tray of MOS transistor devices into the MOS transistor device placement grooves of the tin plating fixture by connecting the MOS transistor device tray to the device tray matching groove. The tin plating fixture has four MARK points at both ends for positioning.

3. The process method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The depth of the groove for placing the MOS transistor is the same as the thickness of the MOS transistor. The length and width of the groove are both 0.1 mm greater than the length and width of the MOS transistor to prevent the MOS transistor from jamming.

4. The process method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The cleaning method in step 4 is as follows: Place the MOS transistor device in an anti-static box containing anhydrous ethanol, ensuring that the anhydrous ethanol level covers the solder end surface of the MOS transistor device. After soaking for 5 minutes, use a soft brush dipped in anhydrous ethanol to brush away the flux residue remaining after the solder paste on the solder end of the MOS transistor device has solidified.

5. The process method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The circuit board cleaning operation in step 7 is as follows: Place the circuit board flat in a tray, pour in anhydrous ethanol to cover the solder joints of the circuit board components, soak for 15-20 minutes, then use an anti-static brush to clean the solder joints on both sides of the circuit board A and B; place the cleaned circuit board in an anti-static tray to air dry naturally.

6. The process method according to claim 1, characterized in that, Another method for cleaning the circuit board in step 7 is as follows: Place the circuit board flat in a tray, pour in anhydrous ethanol to cover the solder joints of the circuit board components, soak for 15-20 minutes, and then use a spray gun filled with anhydrous ethanol to rinse the T-shaped groove. The rinsing pressure range is 0.1MPa-0.2MPa. If the solder beads at the bottom of the MOSFET are not cleaned, repeat the process of soaking the circuit board in ethanol for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse with a spray gun until the solder beads are clean.
