11.3 Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
Moisture Sensitivity Level relates to the
packaging and handling precautions for
some semiconductors. The MSL is an
electronic standard for the time period in
which a moisture sensitive device can be
exposed to ambient room conditions
(approximately 30°C/60%RH).
Increasingly, semiconductors have been
manufactured
in
smaller
sizes.
Components such as thin fine-pitch devices
and ball grid arrays could be damaged
during SMT reflow when moisture trapped
inside the component expands.
The expansion of trapped moisture can
result in internal separation (delamination)
of the plastic from the die or lead-frame,
wire bond damage, die damage, and
internal cracks. Most of this damage is not
visible on the component surface. In
extreme cases, cracks will extend to the
component surface. In the most severe
cases, the component will bulge and pop.
