Moisture Measurement

Moisture is the amount of water in any form in a material

It is a component of molecular makeup for all material

Excessive or deficient moisture adversely impact the physicalproperties of a material

MOISTURE MEASUREMENT INSIDE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

USING ULTRACAPACITOR

Ultracapacitor:Electrochemical capacitor with relatively high energy density

Lack of dielectric permits packaging of plates with large surface area into a given volume

Formed of ordinary activated carbon electrodes

No liquid electrolyte exists inside the device

Electrodes are placed on both sides of a layer of porous silicon

Potassium hydroxide in powder form is embedded inside

porous silicon

Useful for monitoring moisture penetration inside small

Moisture Measurement

CONTD…

As moisture penetrates the porous silicon layer, a liquid electrolyte starts to form

Presence of moisture causes:

• Conductivity of electrolyte increases

• Hence the capacitance of the ultracapacitor increases

• Results in high capacitance

MOISTURE MEASUREMENT IN PCB

EFFECTS OF MOISTURE IN PCB :

Moisture reduces the quality of lamination and solder

Excessive moisture increases dielectric constant leading to changes in circuit switching speed

Ionic corrosion causes electrical open circuit or short circuit

High levels of residual moisture in PCBs causes delaminationduring soldering

Moisture Measurement

CONTD…

Moisture enters the PCB when the partial pressure of themoisture is greater to that inside the PCB

Focused on capacitance measurements to follow theabsorption and desorption behaviour of moisture

Capacitance is dependent on permitivity (which is dependenton moisture)

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

Test boards are designed with capacitors situated on inner layers between external copper planes

It is placed in 85°C and 85 per cent relative humidity (RH) environment

Moisture removal at bake temperatures of 80, 110 and 125°C is monitered

Capacitance is periodically measured at a frequency of 100 kHz

Comparison of PTH and non-PTH on the capacitance decrease with bake time at 125°C for three hole densities

Moisture Measurement

CONTD…

Average capacitance decreases more quickly for higher hole densities due to the increase in surface area

Capacitance decreases faster for boards with non-PTH such boards require shorter bake time

PTH boards have a smaller exposed surface area than non-PTH boards so moisture cannot escape so easily

Moisture Measurement

MODELLING PTH AND NON-PTH IN COPPER PLANES

Modelling is done to compare different moisture desorption capability of PTH and non-PTH boards during a baking

Model boards are subjected to stimulated baking

Model consisted of a PCB with a 0.4 mm hole repeated infinitely in both x and y directions and with a pitch of 4 mm

Extra model was created to represent copper planes on inner layers only

Dark blue colour represents saturation and light yellow as dry regions

Moisture exits non-PTH PCB model more quickly as moisture can escape more easily from the greater open surface area

For PTH board, rate of moisture loss is slower as moisture must diffuse a greater distance to find surface free from copper

For boards with internal copper planes moisture rapidly exists first,then becomes slow
