Dry storage as per IPC standard

IPC/JEDEC Standard (J-STD-033C)

IPC/JEDEC has concluded the following joint standard for the handling SMD.

Moisture Sensitivity Level 2-3

Below 10% RH storage is necessary. After the removal from a moisture barrier bag,the floor life of dry packages which is exposed under the environment not exceeding 30ºC and 60%RH can be reset, if they are placed in a dry box not greater than 10%RH for a minimum desiccating period of 5X the expose time.

Moisture Sensitivity Level 4-5a

Below 5% RH storage is required. A minimum desiccating period of 10X the exposure time is necessary to dry the IC packages which are exposed not exceeding 30ºC and 60%RH after removing from a moisture barrier bag enough to reset their floor life.

SUPER DRY is the only choice for your ultra-low humidity storage

Once parts have been removed from their moisture barrier bags and placed safety in SUPER DRY defects at the end of the line will be reduced.

Humidity Control Paradigm

Prefect ultra-low RH storage in SUPER DRY

Easy Operation: SUPER DRY is an electric appliance, so just plug it in before using. Auto-recycling: Absorbed moisture is discharged as vapor without casing any problems of water leakage. Cost-saving: The maintenance fee of SUPER DRY is only 1/20 compared with N2gas storage box.

Products

Humidity Setting and their Main features

01 series

1-50%RH (Drying Unit x 2)

Recommended whenever doors will be opened once an hour or once 2 hours.

02 series

2-50%RH (Drying Unit x 1)

Suitable for long term storage of MSD with infrequent door opening.

The mechanism of micro-crack in Intergrated Circuits (ICs) packages

 

Before reflow

Reflow process

IC packages
IC packages
BGA CSP QFP TQFP etc

Normal Storage

Moisture in the air is absorbed in the package.

IC mechanism

Delamination by heating at the first stage.

IC mechanism

As process goes on, more pressure by heating will make the delamination become bigger.

IC mechanism

The pressure from delamination makes cracks in the packages.

IC mechanism

Cracks do not make any defects at first, however it gradually corrodes the IC chip.

SUPER DRY Storage

SUPER DRY can dehumidify micro-moisture absorbed in the package.

JEDEC/IPC suggests the storage of device should be under 10%RH.

SUPER DRY ensures high quality control for production with it ultra low humidity control.

HYPER series are recommended for the storage of IC packages during its production process. For faster dehumidification for taping devices, Easy Control series are recommended.

Strategy against Lead-free

Moisture trapped inside MSDs will cause defects during the reflow process. The introduction of a lead free process will only aggravate this reality. The data below shows that the vapor pressure becomes greater and greater with increasing reflow temperatures.

This vapor pressure can cause micro-cracking and delamination inside MSDs and in the end will result in failures, both at test and latent defects in the fields. With ultra-low humidity storage in SUPER DRY, the moisture inside IC packages can be dehumidified to nearly 0% preventing defects which can be caused by moisture absorption.
