  • Abstract
    Two types of TSOPs were characterized with ambient preconditioning stresses to determine their true moisture sensitivity to solder reflow induced damage. The results reveal that traditional accelerated preconditioning stresses do not properly predict this package´s moisture sensitivity. Furthermore, the current model for predicting reflow damage may be ineffective for thinner packages since it only considers the amount of moisture absorbed and not the distribution of moisture.<>
