Hi all , We are trying to implement the micro-BGA technology at our plant. I need the clarification to the following points: 1. Is underfill required for micro-BGAs? 2. What type of stencil apertures are the industry standards for uBGAs and of wha

If you have room, and the aperture size will allow for it, try a 5 mil overall stencil thickness with a 1 mil step-up in the area of the BGA connector.

Dear Robert The reason for the bridging problem you are experiencing on your BGA's is due because of too much solder. The PCB pads need to be at least 15% larger than the sphere size of the BGA balls. If you are not using C4 (63/37) BGA spheres and

This is what I would propose, Place and reflow the board without the BGA with your lead process, remove the solder from the BGA pads if you cannot mask off the apertures in your stencil. Then place the BGA and reflow to SAC requirements with a rewo

Hi, We use 1:1 for 1 mm BGA and it works fine. We used it at 4 thou laser cut stencils when we had a manual stencil printer, but have moved to 5 thou with the DEK and it works ok. We originally went to 4 thou because of paste release, but the DEK

| Hello all, | | I read about Steve's headache a few articles back and I'm really interested by his tip. However, I'm still wondering why square apertures release solder paste better than round ones. For the same volume of paste, the surface area

Hi, - any suggestions welcome... I have a 484 pin ALTERA fineline BGA - ball pitch 1mm (40) - ball size 0.48mm (18.9) What would you recommend for... 1. Surface pad size for the balls of this BGA device? 2. Stencil thickness/type and hole a
