West DISCOVER GROUP Paul Conway Chris Hinde Diana Segura David Whalley Tony Wilson Loughborough University Loughborough University - Wednesday 21 September 2006 DISCOVER 2 Industrial Context The Challenge Aims and Objectives Methodology Deliverables Current Status Questions? Industrial Context 3 The Challenge What are the reasons for poor first time yield and long term reliability in complex products? 4 Defects generated during the manufacturing flow, Lack of formalised process knowledge, Lack of knowledge concerning the implications of design features on manufacturing performance, Lack of in process performance monitoring and analysis, The impact of new materials and components e.g. (lead free legislation) Lack of knowledge of the impact of the adoption of new technology (e.g. novel agile approaches to reflow oven technology). Aims and Objectives Understand the causes of poor manufacturing performance within the low volume electronics manufacturing domain… Develop a suite of software tools that can enable models of complete design, manufacturing and business processes (throughout the entire product lifecycle) in terms of their propensity to create defects that could cause product failure, Reduce a products manufactured cost and time to market and enhance its quality, Enable simulation of new designs and the impact of design, manufacturing and business strategies, Enable the optimisation of designs and manufacturing processes for yield, quality and reliability. 5 Methodology Activities 6 Analysis of the causes of poor yield and service failure design and / or manufacturing processes, Mapping generic electronics design procedures into welldefined process steps, Modelling the defect causing propensity of each process, Developing knowledge-based software tools that capture both the design and manufacturing processes and defect causing propensity, Determining new product and new technology introduction scenarios to enable the software tools to be evaluated, Evaluation of the software tools from functional, human factors and business perspectives.

NOT preferred for future designs (WHY?) visual inspection this was introduced to overcome soldering issues with Circast gold on Trent 500. NOT preferred for future designs (WHY?) visual inspection this is the preferred method for PCB’s with vias that may not solder fill and for reflow soldered Surface Mount Cards visual inspection this is the current standard solder finish for discrete plated through hole PCB DISCOVER 20 Industrial Context The Challenge Aims and Objectives Methodology Deliverables Current Status Questions?
