Overview
EN 60191-6-4:2003 is a European standard developed by CLC (CENELEC) that defines the requirements for measuring methods of ball grid array (BGA) package dimensions. As part of the broader EN 60191 series, this standard provides general rules for the preparation of outline drawings for surface mounted semiconductor device packages, focusing specifically on BGAs. The standard aims to ensure uniformity and accuracy in the measurement and documentation of BGA package sizes, which is vital for quality control and compatibility in the electronics industry.
Key Topics
Measuring Methods for BGA Dimensions
The standard outlines precise methodologies for measuring critical dimensions of BGA packages, including length, width, mounting height, and ball features. It defines datums and tolerance ranges to ensure consistent measurements.Definition of Datums (S, A, B)
The standard details primary reference planes and points (datums) for measuring BGA packages, such as:- Datum S (seating plane) determined via triangulation of the three tallest balls or the least squares method
- Datum A and B for locating package axes
Specified Dimensions
- Package Body Measurements: Length and width are defined using parallel tangent lines, with clear instructions for establishing tolerance zones.
- Profile and Edge Characteristics: Methods for evaluating the profile of edge surfaces (v) and determining package mounting height (A).
- Stand-off Heights: Distinct methods for the first and second stand-off measurements, critical for surface mounting.
Ball Features Measurement
- Ball Diameter (b): Measurement of the circumscribed diameter of solder balls.
- Ball Position (X): Techniques for calculating deviation from theoretical ball center positions.
- Ball Coplanarity (y): Determination of ball height variation to ensure effective soldering.
- Flatness of Package Top (y1): Specifications for the flatness of the upper surface of the package.
Applications
EN 60191-6-4:2003 is essential for:
- Semiconductor Manufacturers: Ensuring dimensional consistency and compliance in the production of BGA packages for integrated circuits.
- Quality Control Departments: Providing reliable and standardized measurement procedures for verifying BGA package dimensions.
- PCB and Electronic Equipment Designers: Facilitating accurate outline drawings for CAD designs and PCB layout by providing trusted reference data for BGA packages.
- Test and Inspection Equipment Suppliers: Developing automated or manual measurement tools that conform to recognized industry standards.
By applying the guidelines of this standard, organizations can enhance product interoperability and facilitate assembly, inspection, and quality assurance processes throughout the semiconductor supply chain.
