Electronic Assembly And Fabrication

Printed circuit history and overview. Development and fabrication of IC chips. Packaging of IC chips. Printed circuit board fabrication.

The assembly of electronic circuit boards has emerged as one of the most significant growth areas for robotics and automated assembly. This comprehensive volume, which is an edited collection of material mostly published in "Assembly Engineering" and "Electronic Packaging and Production", will provide an essential reference for engineers working in this field, including material on Multi Layer Boards, Chip-on-board and numerous case studies. Frank J. Riley is senior vice-president of the Bodine Corporation and a world authority on assembly automation.

This single source reference offers a pragmatic and accessible approach to the basic methods and procedures used in the manufacturing and design of modern electronic products. Providing a stategic yet simplified layout, this handbook is set up with an eye toward maximizing productivity in each phase of the eletronics manufacturing process. Not only does this handbook inform the reader on vital issues concerning electronics manufacturing and design, it also provides practical insight and will be of essential use to manufacturing and process engineers in electronics and aerospace manufacturing. In addition, electronics packaging engineers and electronics manufacturing managers and supervisors will gain a wealth of knowledge.

An authoritative guide to optimizing design for manufacturability and reliability from a team of experts Design for Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art book that covers design and reliability of electronics. The authors—noted experts on the topic—explain how using the DfX concepts of design for reliability, design for manufacturability, design for environment, design for testability, and more, reduce research and development costs and decrease time to market and allow companies to confidently issue warranty coverage. By employing the concepts outlined in Design for Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing, engineers and managers can increase customer satisfaction, market share, and long-term profits. In addition, the authors describe the best practices regarding product design and show how the practices can be adapted for different manufacturing processes, suppliers, use environments, and reliability expectations. This important book: Contains a comprehensive review of the design and reliability of electronics Covers a range of topics: establishing a reliability program, design for the use environment, design for manufacturability, and more Includes technical information on electronic packaging, discrete components, and assembly processes Shows how aspects of electronics can fail under different environmental stresses Written for reliability engineers, electronics engineers, design engineers, component engineers, and others, Design for Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing is a comprehensive book that reveals how to get product design right the first time.

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to electronic technology, products, and manufacturing processes.Reviews principles of production and electronics fundamentals (electronic components, interconnections, printed wiring boards, soldering and solderability); explains automatic assembly (automation, leaded component insertion, and surface-mount device placement); discusses life-cycle engineering (design for assembly, quality and reliability, testability, and environmental stress screening); and explores manufacturing systems (facilities and materials handling, production and inventory control, production economics).For electrical or industrial engineers interested in electronics manufacturing.

BoardTalk had its humble beginnings as a SMT expert Q&A session with Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall at an SMTAI conference. Ten years and over 200 episodes later, the "Assembly Brothers - Pick and Place" have transcribed their informative discussions from CircuitInsight.com, where BoardTalk is streamed all over the world.
