AMAOE G991-012 (S21 SM-G991U/0/W/D-S) MIDDLE-LAYER BGA STENCIL TECHNICAL REWORK MANUAL
====================================================================================================
1. ARCHITECTURAL PURPOSE & DUAL-LAYER PCB DESIGN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Snapdragon 888 variants (SM-G991U, SM-G9910, SM-G991W, and SM-G991D) use
a compact, vertically stacked dual-layer (sandwich) motherboard architecture to fit the 4000mAh
battery, triple-camera housing, and 5G mmWave/Sub-6 RF front-end inside a 6.2-inch chassis:
* Lower Board (AP / Core Logic Layer): Houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1
NAND storage, primary PMICs, and display/charging interfaces.
* Upper Board (RF / Modem / Sub-Layer): Houses the Snapdragon X60 5G modem, cellular transceivers,
power amplifiers, and antenna switching circuitry.
* Middle Interposer Frame (中层): Features a primary multi-row perimeter ring plus an adjacent
rectangular sub-island array of fine-pitch copper interconnect pads bridging power rails, MIPI
lines, PCIe/RF signals, and ground planes between the two board halves.
The AMAOE G991-012 (70x70mm, 0.12mm thick) strong-magnetic stencil is laser-cut to match both the
main perimeter interposer and the secondary rectangular pad island, ensuring uniform solder ball
height across the entire SM-G991U/0/W/D-S sandwich frame.
2. KEY STENCIL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 0.12mm Calibrated Thickness: Controls exact solder paste volume per aperture so re-stacked board
halves settle to factory Z-height without cold joints or inter-pad solder bridges.
* Strong Magnetic Alloy (强磁性): Locks firmly onto magnetic S21 reballing platforms and base plates,
preventing lateral drift during squeegee passes.
* Dual-Zone Aperture Match: Includes both the main interposer loop (with corner screw/standoff cutouts)
and the side rectangular sub-island pad cluster.
* Regional Variant Specificity: Designed for Snapdragon 888 SM-G991U/0/W/D-S boards (not compatible
with Exynos 2100 SM-G991B/N boards).
3. CRITICAL SIGNALS ROUTED THROUGH THE MIDDLE LAYER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cracked, oxidized, or bridged solder joints along the SM-G991U middle frame commonly cause:
* Baseband Unknown / No Service / 5G Dropout: Open joints on RFFE clock/data, transceiver IQ lines,
or SIM interface lines bridging the AP board to the RF board.
* No Boot / High Standby Current: Squeezed solder balls bridging VPH_PWR / VDD_MAIN rails to adjacent
ground pads during improper board re-stacking.
* Wi-Fi / Bluetooth Grayed Out: Interrupted PCIe/UART control lines or missing 1.8V/3.3V RF power
rails across the interposer perimeter.
* Camera / Display / Charging Faults: Broken MIPI, I2C, or USB differential lines routed through the
interposer and rectangular sub-island.
4. STEP-BY-STEP MIDDLE-LAYER REBALLING & RE-STACKING WORKFLOW
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. BOARD SEPARATION & PAD PREPARATION:
1. Place the SM-G991U motherboard onto a dedicated pre-heating platform set to 175°C–190°C.
2. Once the factory middle-layer solder reaches liquidus, lift the upper RF board vertically using
curved ESD tweezers without applying sideways shear force.
3. Sweep both upper and lower interposer rings with a wide knife-edge soldering iron tip (320°C),
low-melt solder (138°C Bi/Sn alloy), and tacky flux to lower residual lead-free solder melting point.
4. Clean all interposer pads thoroughly with 0.8mm/1.0mm desoldering wick and 99.9% Isopropyl
Alcohol (IPA) until pads are flat and mirror-bright.
B. STENCIL ALIGNMENT & SOLDER PASTE APPLICATION:
1. Seat the lower/middle-layer PCB onto a magnetic S21 reballing fixture or flat silicone pad.
2. Position the AMAOE G991-012 stencil over the board, aligning both the main perimeter ring and
the side rectangular island precisely with the PCB copper pads under a stereo microscope.
3. Apply 183°C Sn63/Pb37 (or 158°C/138°C medium-temp) solder paste across the stencil using a
stiff stainless scraper at a 45-degree angle in one smooth pass.
4. Hold the stencil flat and heat evenly with a hot air gun at 260°C–280°C (low airflow, nozzle
~2cm away) until all paste converts into uniform silver solder spheres, OR lift the stencil
vertically first and reflow the printed paste directly on the board.
5. Inspect every perimeter and sub-island solder ball under the microscope for uniform height and
zero bridges.
C. BOARD RE-STACKING (REJOINING):
1. Apply a thin film of no-clean tacky flux along the opposing board's clean interposer pads.
2. Align the upper and lower halves accurately on the pre-heating platform.
3. Heat at 185°C–195°C (matching the chosen solder alloy) until the upper board settles naturally
by surface tension (apply a gentle 1mm nudge with tweezers to confirm self-centering).
4. Allow the board to cool naturally to room temperature before testing with a DC bench power
supply for shorts on VPH_PWR / VDD_MAIN.
5. POST-REWORK VERIFICATION & BENCH DIAGNOSTICS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Diode Mode Check: Probe key connector lines (SIM, Display, Charging, RF) in diode mode before
powering on to verify zero open lines (OL) or dead shorts to ground.
* DC Power Supply Boot Test: Connect to a regulated 4.2V DC bench supply; verify zero pre-boot
leakage current and clean boot current progression.
* Full RF & Connectivity Audit: Confirm 5G/LTE signal registration, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth MAC address
presence, NFC, and 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display output.
