Discover how circuit cleaning processes can evolve to become more efficient and less damaging to a highly-populated circuit card. Explore the results and implications of a research study that was conducted to determine how changes in the intrinsic qualities of lead-free flux residues impact their ease of removal.

As miniaturization continues to create circuit designs that are increasingly more populated, innovative cleaning methods must be developed to maintain the integrity and functionality of these circuits. It is hypothesized that the successful institution of the concept of “process equivalence” between batch cleaners and in-line cleaners would result in more effective and less-damaging cleaning methods for highly-populated circuit cards.

Cleanrooms, as well as any modular environment where attempts are made to keep airborne contaminants, temperature, relative humidity, differential pressure, static electricity and other factors under strict control, come in many shapes and sizes. Whether discussing hard- or softwalled or any of the other types of cleanroom, one thing is certain – it is virtually impossible to construct and maintain a completely contaminant-free environment, as long as personnel are working in it. There is no perfectly clean cleanroom; there are only levels of acceptable cleanliness.

Implementations of first generations of deduplication technology have become extremely complex, with numerous point solutions, rigid solution stacks, scalability limitations and fragmented heterogeneous approaches. This whitepaper introduces and describes StoreOnce software, next-generation deduplication technology from HP that allows for better management, higher performance, and more efficient data protection.
