IPC-7525 does a good job of giving guidelines for designing stencils, including stepped stencils

Dear Experts, Have any paper or data talking about the design guideline for avoiding BGA solder bridge? I desire to know the rule(guideline)that compare difference stencil thickness and safe solder design distance (air gap) can avoid bridge.

Thank you Mr.Spoiltforchoice, My question is not clear , let me show you a photo Did you have any suggestion? Thanks James

I'm no expert but I think you will find the majority of discussions around BGA & good printing results focus on the PCB design and things like tented vias and pad definition. e.g https://macrofab.com/blog/bga-pad-creation-smd-nsmd/ After that, work

Dear davef, All of this are takling about how to improve release solder paste, Area ratio, aspect ratio...etc, but i want to learn the "When design BGA stencil which the safe air gap between solder paste in difference stencil thickness", this can he

You have lost me, its a stencil, you can change the aperture size, you can change the thickness and you can change the walls of the aperture. And all of those things will be in the papers anyone can find with a google. I have no clue what safe air g

Air gap on the PCB is determined the pad spacing which in turn is governed by the component. As long as the PCB designer is following the typical BGA layout best practices; i.e no open via in pad, non-solder mask defined pads, solder mask covered tra

Leave it to the Eurolanders to come-up with a goofy, confusing name for something simple. Stepped stencils are chemical etched or laser cut. IPC-7525 provides guidelines on designing stepped stencils. Look here http://www.ipc.org/TOC/IPC-7525.pdf
