Hello to all ,

Could you help with this defect .. Tombstoning 0201 , always at the same place in board , only this component near to the coax connector..with a defect rate of 2 % ..All the process is perfect . i cheked : stencil design , SPI result , component dimension , component wettability , reflow oven profile , component placement .. All is good.. nothing changes..Any ideas?

Hi, check the Land pattern 0201 on the board, compare with another 0201. Could be different gap.,

Most common causes of tombstoning in our factory: small amount of paste printed on the pcb, improper placement ( pick up process, picked up on the component metallization- large cavity in reel).

A large pad nearby receives heat - the resistor pads heat up unevenly ?

There may also be a problem with the a thermoprofile. Measure the temperature of both contacts of the component, if they heat up not evenly and the soldered lead heats up faster, then the problem is in the profile. To solve the problem of misalignment during placement, it is possible to change the design of the stencil by shifting the apertures towards the center of the component and increasing the area. Of course, within reasonable limits.

Agree. The big pad and part nearby made the paste on two ends of cap melted unevenly.Deposit more paste on the tombstone-ed pad will make it easier to melt. Nothing wrong with profile if everything else is OK. BTW, how to measure temperature on two ends of 0201 part as someone recommended.

To measure two 0201 pads, you need to solder two thermocouples for each component pin on different segments. Thermocouple wire should be 36AWG.

Just for grins, try rotating the board 180 degrees before reflow. this might allow both sides of the part to reflow at the same time.

Is it just that one part with the arrow? Its interesting that none of the other parts have the same issue despite appearing to have the same foot print and thermal load. The only difference is the angle of the pattern.

This is what I do to determine if the oven recipe is the cause. Change the rotation that the board travels through the oven.

Thank you all for your quick reply ! the problem is solved without making any intervention on line .. 0% defect rate for the moment .. for all of you who said "try rotating the board 180 °", we can't do that because the panel contains 2 boards head to tail not only a single Board , so if you turn the panel 180° it will stay the same .

Finally , in my opinion, the root cause of this problem is related to PCB ( différence in GAP Land Pattern ) because this problem appeared in a single batch of pcb . Analysis to be continued if this issue will appear again . Thnx again for your support !!!
