Depending on the volume of boards you are manufacturing, the most cost effective solution would be to epoxy plug the vias prior to LPI soldermask application. The technique is common practice and most suppliers can provide it will little or no cost a

That should not happen. There are some threads concerning BGA and wavesoldering you could look for. It�s said that you should protect the vias in the BGA-area by soldermask or at least with tented vias to prevent rereflow of BGAs solderjoints what co

| Could someone shares their experience on the causes of 'Open' in the BGA after reflow. | | Are you having a problem with the joint openning up after reflow. Like it was soldered after the reflow process, but at final test is not? I had this pr

I have a question about solder masking via's in a BGA pattern, and want to see if I'm thinking correctly about this. This problem is kind of along the same line as Carol's problem earlier. I think it's a bad idea to leave the via's free from solder

Hi, can you definitely attribute the 30%yield to poor bga soldering? What is your high flyer defect encountered on the failed boards.Is this ICT ,flying probe ,functional test yield? Can you determine a defect pattern? Did your subcontractor provided

When double sided BGA's are used on an .062 FR4 10 layer board should via's be plugged and tented? The CACHE chips being used are PBGA's 1.27mm pitch. The pad size is .030 and the finished via dia. is .010. This is a dogbone type pad and via design.

The first picture shows an issue. Note that the vias adjacent to the interior rows are filled with solder. At the outside rows this is not evident. What you might have are interior spheres that are smaller in volume than the rows on the outide, si

Ok, just to put closure on things I figured I should post the conclusion of this whole ordeal. We've acquired a new BGA rework station that allows us to get away without tenting our vias under the BGAs. This allowed us to change our PCB spec to rem
