1 Introduction
These manufacturing notes apply to all of SiTime’s MEMS-based Silicon Timing products in
Quad, Flat No-Lead (QFN) package, SOT23-5 package, 2.0 x 1.2mm SMD, and WLCSP. The
information provided in this document is meant to assist customers with manufacturing set-up and
use of SiTime products designed into systems.
The materials used in the construction of SiTime’s products comply with Green standards. They
are compliant to RoHS and REACH163 requirements. Material composition reports are on file and
can be made available on request. No hazardous materials defined by OSHA are contained in the
products and MSDS reports are not required when using SiTime’s products.
All SiTime products have been qualified to JEDEC JESD47 requirements as they apply to the
type of product and packaging of the product. Reliability reports are available upon request from
your sales representative.

Detailed mechanical dimensions for the various body sizes are provided in the data sheets as
Package Outline Drawings.
2.1 Package Marking Details - Standard Mark
The Standard Mark for all SiTime products is shown below. It contains an assembly location
code and lot code to allow tracing the manufacturing origin. This marking is used on all samples,
low volume, and mass production orders unless stipulated otherwise. The marking method is
laser mark.

3 Product Packing
3.1 Tape & Reel
Carrier tape basic dimensions are based on EIA481. The pocket is designed to hold the part for
shipping and loading onto SMT manufacturing equipment, while protecting the body and the solder
terminals from damaging stresses. The individual pocket design can vary from vendor to vendor, but
width and pitch will be consistent.
Carrier tape is wound or placed onto a 7” or 13” shipping reel depending on the quantity of parts on
the reel and the package body size
The center hub design is large enough to ensure the radius formed by the carrier tape around it does
not put unnecessary stress on the parts.
Prior to shipping, parts are placed into the pockets of the carrier tape. A cover tape is sealed
over the top of the entire length of the carrier tape. The reel is sealed in a protective bag with a dry
N2 backfill.
The reel is made with high impact polystyrene and is anti-static material. It is possible that color of
the reels may be different in two different shipments depending on drop shipment location. However,
the specifications of the reel are identical. The carrier tape is made with polystyrene with carbon
impregnation and is static dissipative material. The cover tape is made with polystyrene antistatic
material.

Peel Strength
The force required to peel off the cover tape from the carrier tape will fall within the range of 0.1
Newton to 1.3 Newton (10 grams to 130 grams) at a peeling speed to 300 mm per minute. This
complies with the EIA standard.

4 Storage and Handling
It is recommended that the sealed tape be stored in conditions where the environment does not
exceed:
→ Temperature: 40oC maximum
→ Relative humidity: 90% maximum
→ No direct exposure to sunlight
5 ESD
SiTime’s products are semiconductor based and as such have sensitivity to Electro-Static
Discharge. Care must be taken to insure careful handling to avoid damaging the components.
Reference to JEDEC document JESD625, Requirements for Handling Electrostatic-DischargeSensitive Devices. This standard establishes the minimum requirements for Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) control methods and materials used to protect electronic devices that are
susceptible to damage or degradation from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The passage of a static
charge through an electrostatic-discharge-sensitive (ESDS) device can result in
catastrophic failure or performance degradation of the part. Device sensitivity to ESD is
determined by test methods such as EIA/JESD22-A114.
6 Moisture Sensitivity Level
All SiTime’s products have been qualified to Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 for Pb-Free devices per
JEDEC J-STD-020 and are deemed to not be moisture sensitive. This means partially
consumed reels may be stored indefinitely without re-sealing the protective storage bags in which
the reels are shipped in. It also means unused reels with a damaged bag seal may be used
without baking. Because the parts meet moisture sensitivity level 1, the protective storage bags in
which the reels are shipped do not require desiccant or HIC cards and are not required to
maintain a tight vacuum seal or dry nitrogen purge.

7 PCB Assembly Guidelines
7.1 Solder Reflow Profile
The solder reflow profile shown in Figure 9 is IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 compliant and applies to all
SiTime packages; QFN, SOT23-5, 2.0x1.2 SMD, and WLCSP. Maximum reflow temperature is
260°C. An optimized reflow profile depends on several factors such as the solder paste, board
density, and type of reflow equipment used. Additional reflow information can be obtained from
solder paste vendor data sheets. It is recommended that any reflow profile be characterized with a
fully populated production PCB and thermocouple placed on or closest to the SiTime component
during profile. Thermocouples are generally used to record temperatures across the surface and
any sensitive components on the PCB. Ensure that a thermocouple is placed in contact with the
top surface of any moisture sensitive component to ensure maximum temperature is not
exceeded.

7.2 PCB Cleaning After Assembly
Cleaning PCB assemblies after reflow is a common process requirement to remove residual flux
and loose solder. No-Clean and water soluble fluxes are left behind and require removal to meet
assembly inspection standards. The package materials of the SiTime products are not
susceptible to water or other common solvents (alcohol and acetone) used for assembly
cleaning. SiTime recommends not using cleaning baths operating at ultrasonic frequencies.
Instead, SiTime recommends that the customer use IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) baths.
