Calibration of Tweezer Meters Enabling Sub 1 pF and Sub 10 nH
Calibration of Tweezer Meters Enabling Sub 1 pF and Sub 10 nH
The importance of calibration for two-wire measurement setups is reaffirmed. For tweezer meters, this issue is critical due to the higher offset values, which can be as large as 19 nH.

Soldering Challenges Caused by Warpage of Large Integrated Circuits
Soldering Challenges Caused by Warpage of Large Integrated Circuits
We found that BGAs exhibit minimum warpage at a reflow temperature of 200-220°C, not MAPSP 210oC the lower temperature of about 180°C that tin-bismuth solders require. The best process production window can be obtained by using a solder alloy with a melting point of 200°C
