Industry FAQ
Why do AI compute cards need a step stencil?
GPU and DDR require different paste volumes. Step stencil design gives the GPU area enough paste while controlling DDR paste volume to reduce bridging and collapse risk.
What does nitrogen reflow solve here?
Nitrogen reflow reduces oxidation and improves wetting, allowing more stable GPU soldering within a controlled peak temperature window while reducing DDR overheating risk.
How are X-ray focus areas defined?
Focus areas usually include GPU, DDR, PMIC and other high-value BGA devices, checking internal bridging, voiding, offset and cold solder risk.
