New test result? Update your assessment

If measurements or verification results are available, select the earliest stage where direction changed. This adjusts the next-step sequence; onset timing does not prove a root cause.

Warpage reversal timing can correlate with material, structural, and process variables. It guides verification and model calibration but cannot establish a root cause alone.

    What to do next

    No result provided. Clarify key conditions before arranging an assessment.

    1. Have the sample dimensions, visible surface, and support arrangement been confirmed suitable for thermal warpage measurement?

    What to prepare

    • Can be used for reflow simulation, material or stack-up selection, process-window comparison and validation of finite-element models. The platform accepts samples up to 600 x 600 mm. Provide sample outline, thickness, surface reflectivity, and planned support arrangement. Provide actual or target heating and cooling curves and mark the reflow stages to compare. Confirm that PS600T / PS600S sample dimensions, temperature range, and field of view meet requirements.
    • Supports package, PCB, 3D-IC and electronics-cooling studies; available analyses depend on solvers, models and configuration. Provide traceable geometry for the package, substrate, and boundary conditions. Provide temperature-dependent material properties and measured thermal history for model calibration. Define the material, structural, or process variables and output metrics to compare first.

    Questions to discuss

    • How will measurement reproduce actual reflow heating, peak dwell, and cooling rates?
    • How will sample support, reference plane, and surface preparation remain consistent?

    • Confirm that PS600T / PS600S sample dimensions, temperature range, and field of view meet requirements.
    Exclusions
    • Scope and limitations Surface deformation does not establish internal failure causes or directly measure stress. Transparent or specular surfaces may need treatment, and sample properties affect achievable thermal ramps. What to prepare Bring sample dimensions, surface images, the target thermal profile and measurement regions. State the warpage acceptance criteria to discuss field of view, preparation and sampling. Confirm with the supplier Confirm temperature tracking, resolution and repeatability on representative samples, including support and surface-treatment effects. For simulation validation, ask about export formats and coordinate definitions.
    • Measurement establishes a deformation baseline; it cannot independently identify a material or interface root cause.
    • The formal solution record covers PS600S. This candidate also includes PS600T; their capabilities are not interchangeable.

    Sample or process prerequisites
    • Intended for thin, high-density FC-CSP, PoP and SiP substrates where coplanarity matters. Adoption should include drilling, plating, lamination and assembly-process evaluation.
    • Provide the current substrate stackup, copper distribution, layer thicknesses, and assembly thermal history.
    • Define CTE, Tg, modulus, and processing conditions for comparison rather than comparing one value alone.
    • Use actual or representative coupons to validate warpage, processability, and interface reliability.
    Exclusions
    • Scope and limitations Low CTE alone does not ensure low package warpage; copper distribution, stackup and processing still matter. The published RLH CTE applies to its stated test range, not other grades or reflow temperatures. What to prepare Bring substrate stackup, copper distribution, dimensions, process profiles and measured warpage, plus electrical and reliability targets, to assess the effects of a material change. Confirm with the supplier Confirm grade, available thicknesses, temperature-dependent properties and compatibility with lamination, drilling and plating. Discuss warpage and reliability validation using representative substrates rather than CTE alone.
    • A low-CTE material does not ensure lower warpage in the complete package.
    • Public typical values cannot replace supply specifications, available grades, and process-compatibility checks.

    • Provide temperature-dependent materials, contact conditions, and mechanical boundaries.
    • Calibrate at least one baseline design against measured temperatures or warpage.
    Exclusions
    • Scope and limitations Stress and warpage under operating temperatures do not establish complete manufacturing residual-stress or lifetime qualification. Confirm coverage of project-specific behavior such as cure shrinkage or viscoelasticity for the proposed models and tools. What to prepare Bring die/package geometry, interconnects, thermomechanical material properties, power scenarios and cooling boundaries. Include available temperature and warpage measurements for model correlation. Confirm with the supplier Confirm solver, model-exchange and signoff capabilities for the proposed version and licenses, including what runs within RedHawk and what needs other tools. Ask how the actual package model will be calibrated and validated.

    • Use DOE to separate solder-mask, core, build-up, and copper-distribution effects on curvature.
    Exclusions
    • Scope and limitations Series data and comparisons do not guarantee every grade/customer substrate achieves the same warpage or durability. What to prepare BLNKK suggests preparing stack-up, copper distribution, mask thickness and openings, exposure, development and cure conditions, plus warpage and reliability targets. Confirm with the supplier Confirm grades/thicknesses, property methods, processing windows and the specimens, thermal profiles and criteria behind published tests.

    Before assessment

    Questions to ask before assessment

    Expand assessment checklist
    1. How will measurement reproduce actual reflow heating, peak dwell, and cooling rates?
    2. How will sample support, reference plane, and surface preparation remain consistent?
    3. Are viscoelasticity and cure-shrinkage data measured, supplier-provided, or inferred?
    4. Does the reversal temperature range remain consistent across samples, batches, and repeat measurements?
    5. When the model disagrees with measurements, should boundary conditions be checked before material parameters are adjusted?
    6. Does reducing overall warpage increase stress in die-bond layers, underfill, or solder joints?
