Pre-bake times and temperature for polyimide boards | 7 January, 2005

I have a Polyimide board that is showing signs of de-lamination. I was wondering what pre-bake times and temperatures other people would recomend for new boards as well for boards that have been on the shelf for 8 months.

Normally, you should not have to bake boards that are properly packaged and stored. Since you are seeing problems, baking makes sense. Consider 125C for 4 to 6 hours.

we are using polyimide boards 6 inches x 7 inches, 2.5mm thick, 12 to 14 layers, for aerospace industries. I am using a long bake of 12 hours at 70'C prior to manufacturing or exposure to elevated reflow and wave soldering temperature. If schedule is a concern I'm using a 120'C 3.5 hours short time bake and this is as per IPC J-STD-001C's general PWB bake times. We have no problem with this kind of baking process.

hope it helps,
