Dear davef, Will u pls advice what are all the possible defects caused while soldering ( assembling ) this type of boards.

We'd expect to see: * Solder starved connections at pads with large trace/pad areas. * Less reliable solder connections at pads that do not match the shape and size of the corresponding pads on the component.

Has the board been looked at under X-Ray? Have you built more than 1 of the boards in question? Do any of the other boards have the same problem? Have you made any changes to the profile between boards? One side of the BGA collapsing during reflow w

Hello jdumont, I think the spheres are leaning as there is not enough meat under the spheres. In ceramic BGA devices there is a solder fillet which is generally a solder paste which is used to give the device some height before balling it. This heig

A couple of things you can look into 1. The proper bottom pre-heat of board. If you are applying only direct hot air to BGA without preheating can cause BGA's to warp and collapse un-even. 2. Moisture on you BGA's. If BGA's were not properly packa

Recently we have seen the BGA Ball collapsing issue in the field. The unit has the clean manufacturing records at factory, But in the same unit we did the cross section and found Ball explosion only in VDD and VDDQ pins. Can anyone help me to underst

It sounds like the BGA balls are not melting. You're probably getting no collapse. Put a bare BGA on a hot plate. Heat it up until you get collapse. Adjust your reflow profile until you have that temperature on the BGA pads on the board. What is the

Has anyone had any success in finding open circuits (i.e. ball present but not soldered to PCB) under collapsible BGA's using an Agilent HP5DX x-ray tester and the BGA2 algorithm? Can anyone recommend an elongated pad design which produces the neces

Yes, the authors do give the caveat that small amount of lead contamination in a SAC/Lead-Free system is tolerated provided the Pb-BGA has sufficiently reflowed. This verbiage is on the bottom of Figure 10. For my own peace-of-mind, I would send yo

We have the BGA100 tool. It has its uses. Its nice to see if the balls on a BGA have collapsed and reflowed properly. At the same time though you can only see the balls around the edge of the BGA. It can also be dificult to position the device to see
