Does anyone have or know of any published guidelines for BGA layout on PWB's so that they can be tested. Specifically using micro vias? If anyone has any input regarding other test considerations for BGA devices I'd like to hear from you as well. W

Iman, How long after washing the boards do you process them? Are there any vias or Micro vias on any of the pads you see the blow holes on? A possible cause of a blow hole in a solder fillet or PCB is the escaping of Moisture under extreme temps. Th

Hi Well I will give you one of many. It just happened in my life that I worked there for decades a decade ago. Old IBM, now Endicott Interconnect Technologies (EIT) If your PWB is complex and you like support they hopefully will do a good job. If

recently, we also have problem with QFN around 3% defect related to soldering. from the cross section it turns out to be solder crack. it could be the paste volume on the center pad is too much causing QFN to float that eventually will cause crack on

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no issue with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume of the .002" via in pad is small compared to the ball+solder paste volume. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the sol

We have successfully put .016" vias in .030" pads. There is no drain off with .030" solder balls, since the actual volume in the .002" depression is low. We did notice random bubbles where, apparently, the solder reflowed and trapped the air in the

I am currently involved with designing a pcb which will use 225 pin bga,s The problem with this design is that the components will dissipate a lot of heat and the design we have come up with is use the middle 6 or 7 rows of balls as the grounding,th

What is Your customers requirements? Is the PCBA mounted with front/back connectors? Will the PCBA be mounded in a rack and connected to opposite connectors on the other side? In this case, if the warpage is more than approx 1-1.5 % You will then n

I had one project with micro-vias in 0805 and larger pads, with no issues. But my most recent project had vias that were larger than the 0402 pads that the via was in. To the point that for a number of the lands, there was no visible pads (a couple

| Looking for solder paste specification limits which have reliability data to support them. Currently, we are looking to define the min/max volume necessary to ensure a good joint on CBGA, PBGA, and Micro-BGA's. Any information will be greatly app
