I think that it can be solved by placing ths into a baking oven with the set point above the PCB Tg. For this process to be succesful, weights need to loaded onto the PCB stack during the heating cycles. Once the cycle is complete, the PCB stack will

Any suggestions on trying a paste with a stronger flux?

Hi Hege. I was not also too confident with the black pad (coz no black residue on the remaining pad). But based on my search on the internet regarding black pad. Most of them shows a very clean BGA Pad after peel off the BGA as the picture reference

Josh, You can not check the bare boards for black pad unless you remove the gold plating. Like Robin said black pad is nickel oxidation/corrosion and a result from bad electroless nickel plating bath control. The only preventative action you take is

I received a request from customer to assemble ceramic substrate (alumina oxide)that printed with a low temperature Copper thick film conductor (the overglaze layer is polymer). The Copper pads are exposed without any coating. This ceramic substrate

Hi rob, Thank you very much for your response. Profiling was made exactly on the pad, which showed dewetting, so the values are mentioned for this pad. PCB's is about a week old. It is possible that the surface of pads is already oxidized? I will t

I tried soldering to several of the black pads and was successful, the solder stuck with no hesitation. so i guess this is not truly "black pad"? would that be a correct statement? What causes this blackening that looks like oxidation under the mic

You got what I think someone has called a "cold melt". If you were to run your removal profile awhile longer you would not see this. Anyway, you don't have any issues as this is very common (at least in my experience). FYI I was thinking your oxid

It is really hard to tell what it is. It just looks like parts of the pad did not solder and you can see where the solder would even go around the pad leaving voids.

I'd guess ... + Pads have no solder mask, clear or otherwise. + Pads won't take solder, because you're trying to solder to nickel. + Nickel on the pads is oxidized and is sticking out its tongue at the flux you're using. + Something went south
