Reworking QFN's Newly Developed Cost Effective Approach

QFN PackageAs with any rework process, the pasting of the component is a sequential process. Each step is designed to minimize the risk of a smeared solder paste pattern. A typical pad size for a 0.5mm pitch QFN is 0.25mm x 0.4mm and therefore the printing of solder paste using a micro metal rework stencil requires extreme patience and a high degree of skill and experience.

This paper describes a new rework process for leadless devices where the devices can be manually placed without relying on capital equipment.
