SMT chip technology process

                                                         SMT chip technology process

The SMT patch process is divided into: solder paste printing, SMT patch, intermediate inspection, reflow soldering, post-stove inspection, performance test, and repair.

SMT patch process flow chart

1. Solder paste printing machine printing solder paste: its function is to print solder paste or patch glue on the pad of PCB to prepare for the welding of components. The equipment used is a solder paste printing machine, which is located at the forefront of the SMT production line.


2. Use a glue dispenser to dispense glue when double-sided SMT boards: it drips glue onto the fixed position of the PCB, and its main function is to fix the components to the PCB. The equipment used is a glue dispenser, which is located at the forefront of the SMT production line or behind the testing equipment.

3. Use a mounter to mount components: its function is to accurately mount surface mount components to a fixed position on the PCB. The equipment used is a placement machine, which is located behind the screen printing machine in the SMT production line.


4. Curing of SMD glue: Its function is to melt the SMT glue, so that the surface mount components and PCB board are firmly bonded together. The equipment used is curing oven or reflow soldering, which is located behind the placement machine in the SMT production line.


5. Reflow soldering: Its function is to melt the solder paste, so that the surface mount components and the PCB board are firmly bonded together. The equipment used is a reflow oven, which is located behind the placement machine in the SMT production line.


6. Clean the reflow soldered PCB: Its function is to remove the soldering residues harmful to the human body on the assembled PCB board, such as flux. The equipment used is a washing machine, and the location may not be fixed, online or offline.


7. Inspection: Its function is to inspect the welding quality and assembly quality of the assembled PCB board. The equipment used includes magnifying glass, microscope, online tester (ICT), flying probe tester, automatic optical inspection (AOI), X-RAY inspection system, functional tester, etc. The location can be configured in a suitable place on the production line according to the needs of detection.


8. Rework: Its function is to rework the PCB board that has failed. The tools used are soldering iron, rework station, etc. Configured anywhere in the production line.

Electronic products are pursuing miniaturization, and the perforated plug-in components used in the past can no longer be reduced. Electronic products have more complete functions, and the integrated circuits (IC) used have no perforated components, especially large-scale and highly integrated ICs, and surface mount components have to be used. Product mass production, production automation, the factory must produce high-quality products at low cost and high output to meet customer needs and strengthen market competitiveness. The development of electronic components, the development of integrated circuits (IC), and the multiple applications of semiconductor materials. The electronic technology revolution is imperative, and the pursuit of international trends. It is conceivable that when the production technology of international cpu and image processing device manufacturers such as intel and amd has improved to more than 20 nanometers, the development of surface assembly technology and technology such as smt is also unavoidable.

Advantages of smt patch processing: high assembly density, small size and light weight of electronic products, the volume and weight of patch components are only about 1/10 of traditional plug-in components, generally after using SMT, the volume of electronic products is reduced by 40%~60 %, the weight is reduced by 60%~80%. High reliability and strong anti-vibration ability. Solder joint defect rate is low. Good high frequency characteristics. Reduced electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Easy to automate and improve production efficiency. Reduce costs by 30% to 50%. Save material, energy, equipment, manpower, time, etc.

It is precisely because of the complexity of the process flow of smt patch processing that there are many smt patch processing factories.

Single-sided assembly

Incoming material inspection => silk screen solder paste (dot patch glue) => patch => drying (curing) => reflow soldering => cleaning => inspection => repair

double-sided assembly

A: Incoming material inspection => PCB A-side silk screen solder paste (dot patch glue) => SMD PCB B-side silk screen solder paste (dot SMT glue) => SMT => drying => reflow soldering ( Best only for side B => cleaning => testing => rework).

B: Incoming material inspection => PCB A-side silk screen solder paste (dot patch glue) => SMD => drying (curing) => A-side reflow soldering => cleaning => flipping = PCB B-side point SMD adhesive => SMD => Curing => B-side wave soldering => Cleaning => Inspection => Rework)

This process is suitable for reflow soldering on the A side of the PCB and wave soldering on the B side. In the SMD assembled on the B side of the PCB, this process should be used when only SOT or SOIC (28) pins are below.

Single side mixed process

Incoming material inspection => PCB A-side silk screen solder paste (dot patch adhesive) => patch => drying (curing) => reflow soldering => cleaning => plug-in => wave soldering => cleaning => inspection = > Repair

Double-sided mixed process

A: Incoming material inspection => SMT glue on the B side of the PCB => SMD => Curing => Flip board => Plug-in on the A side of the PCB => Wave soldering => Cleaning => Inspection => Rework

Paste first and insert later, suitable for the situation where there are more SMD components than discrete components

B: Incoming material inspection => PCB A-side plug-in (pins are bent) => flipping board => PCB B-side SMT glue => patch => curing => flipping board => wave soldering => cleaning => Inspection => Repair

Insert first and stick later, suitable for the situation where there are more separated components than SMD components

C: Incoming material inspection => silk screen solder paste on PCB side A => patch => drying => reflow soldering => plug-in, pin bending => flipping board => point adhesive on PCB side B => SMD => curing => flipping => wave soldering => cleaning => inspection => rework mixed assembly on side A and mounting on side B.

D: Incoming material inspection => SMT glue on the B side of the PCB => SMT => curing => flipping => silk screen printing solder paste on the A side of the PCB => SMT => A side reflow soldering => plug-in => B-side wave soldering => cleaning => inspection => rework A-side mixed assembly, B-side mounting. Paste SMD on both sides first, reflow soldering, then plug-in, wave soldering E: Incoming material inspection => PCB B-side silk screen solder paste (dot patch adhesive) => SMT => drying (curing) => reflow soldering = > Flip board => PCB A-side silk screen solder paste => patch => drying = reflow soldering 1 (local soldering can be used) => plug-in => wave soldering 2 (if there are few components inserted, manual soldering can be used) => Cleaning => Inspection => Rework A side mount, B side mixed.

Double-sided assembly process

A: Incoming material inspection, PCB A side silk screen solder paste (point patch adhesive), patch, drying (curing), A side reflow soldering, cleaning, flipping; PCB B side silk screen solder paste (point patch Glue), patch, drying, reflow soldering (preferably only for B side, cleaning, testing, rework)

This process is suitable for large SMDs such as PLCC mounted on both sides of the PCB.

Thin Film Printed Circuit Editing Broadcast

Such thin-film circuits are generally printed on PET with silver paste. There are two kinds of process methods for pasting and pasting electronic components on such thin film circuits. One is the so-called traditional process method, that is, the 3-glue method (red glue, silver glue, encapsulating glue) or the 2-glue method (silver glue, encapsulating glue). Glue), another so-called new process is the 1 glue method---as the name suggests, it is to use one glue to complete the pasting of electronic components, instead of using 3 kinds of glue or 2 kinds of glue. The key to this new process is to use a new type of conductive adhesive, which fully has the conductive properties and process properties of solder paste; it is fully compatible with the current SMT solder paste brushing method when used, without adding any equipment.
