5.2 Solder Reflow

There are no special requirements necessary when reflowing QFN and SON components. As with all SMT components, it is important that profiles be checked on all new board designs. In addition, if there are multiple packages on the board, the profile must be checked at different locations on the board. Component temperatures can vary because of surrounding components, location of the device on the board, and package densities.

To maximize the self-alignment effect of QFN and SON, it is recommended that the maximum reflow temperature specified for the solder paste not be exceeded. A good guide is to subject the PCB to a temperature ramp not exceeding 4°C per second.

The reflow profile guidelines (see Figure 5-2) are based on the temperature at the actual solder-pad to PCB land-pad solder joint location. The actual temperature at the solder joint is often different than the temperature settings in the reflow/rework system, due to the location of the system thermocouple used to monitor the temperature.

Specific production reflow and rework systems vary depending on manufacturer and model. Therefore, system specific profiles must be established using thermocouples at the actual solder joint locations.

TI has tested and qualified QFNs and SONs for three reflow operations according to JEDEC J-STD-020. This allows one reflow operation per side of the PCB (assuming the use of a double-sided PCB) and one rework operation if necessary.

TI recommends use of the temperature profile from the solder-paste manufacturer to optimize flux activity within the MSL guidelines for the most thermally sensitive component. See J-STD-033 for more details on MSL classification.
