Abstract:
This report presents qualification guidelines developed for recolumned, high I/O ceramic column grid array (CCGA) packages assembled onto printed wiring/circuit boards (PWBs/PCBs). It includes recolumn and assembly process development for two types of CCGA packages: those with and those without interposer. Thermal cycle test results and photomicrographs showing damage progress for recolumned CCGA assemblies are documented and presented.
