First, what on the area array package are you analyzing � * Package cracking? * Cracked solder balls? * Er, what? Second, most failure analysis discussions consider dye penetration to be a non-destructive test, but then again most failure analysis

We are unfamiliar with yellow penetrant. Red is common, as you say. There are couple of green penetrants out there. Some red penetrants contain yeasts [eg, Calcofluor Yellow, Azosol Brilliant Yellow 6GF, etc] that fluorese yellow, but that's not what

Dye penetrant is a liguid that will wick through very small cracks. I used over 10 years ago for checking cracks in glass feedthru's in hermetic packages. You put the dye on one side of the seal and developer (white) on the other side and the red dye

I've been informed that I can't post the Dye Penetrant paper on the SMTNET library till Advanced Packaging releases the paper in their Dec. issue. You should be able to pull a copy in the next couple of weeks from their site, http://ap.pennnet.com/ho

It is CSP reliability issue, which is the mobile CPU from Spreadtrum. All the tests passed and shipped to customer. They assembly them and tested but failed. After they reflow this CSP with hot air gun, some of the boards passed. We got some board

You're entirely correct. The gold is most likely gone away. [Don't forget you can check if the surface is still solderable with a hand soldering iron.] We're not sure it it will give you the results you seek, but consider using a dye penetrant fai

We doubt that Humiseal 1A33 is causing opens in your assemblies. We'd guess the opens occur earlier in the process, but are not hard failures. So, you pass your tests. When applied, the conformal coat flows into the gap in the ball crack and insulate

Another test to consider is dye penetrant analysis. The technique involves flooding the area beneath the soldered part with dye (preferably a bright color, like red). After drying the board+dye in an oven, you peel or torque the part off and inspec

Hi All, One PCBA failed test after went through the Shock Test(Vibration) and suspected to be BGA solder ball crack. We performed dye and pry and found PCB's pad lifted with red mark ink penetrate pad underneath, what does this mean? Can I say the
