Moisture Precondition
Precautions must be taken to minimize the effects of the reflow thermal stress on the 
module. Plastic molding materials for integrated circuit encapsulation are 
hygroscopic and absorb moisture dependent on the time and the environment. 
Absorbed moisture will vaporize during the rapid heating of the solder reflow 
process, generating pressure to all the interface areas in the package, followed by 
swelling, delamination, and even cracking of the plastic. Components that do not 
exhibit external cracking can have internal delamination or cracking which affects 
yield and reliability.
