    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a heatshield that can be actively cooled during a rework process. The heatshield may include a backer plate, a metal plate, and/or a package pedestal. The backer plate may include one or more air inlet ports configured to be connected to an air compressor. Air inlet ducts may extend from the air inlet ports through at least a portion of the backer plate. A plurality of vents may extend from the air inlet ducts to a top surface of the backer plate such that the plurality of vents directs cooling gas forced into the heatshield towards the metal plate and a first BGA. The cooling gas may maintain the solder joint temperature of the first BGA package below the reflow temperature and below the solidus temperature of the solder joints to prevent reflow-related solder joint defects from occurring in the first BGA package during rework of a second BGA package.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems for applying a compression load on at least part of an application specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) ball grid array (“BGA”) package during the rework or secondary reflow process. The compression-loading assembly may include a top plate and a compression plate. The compression plate may exert a compression load on at least part of the ASIC using one or more compression mechanisms. The compression mechanisms may each include a bolt and a spring. The bolt may releasably couple the top plate to the compression plate and allow for adjustments to the compression load. The spring may be positioned on the bolt between the top plate and the compression plate and, therefore, may exert a force in a direction away from the top plate and toward the compression plate. The compression load may retain the solder joint and may prevent the solder separation defect during the reflow process.
