Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. Q #2) When speaking of annular rings, I have always thought of them as minimums. Su

I goy this issue: Voids in almost every ball of my BGA's prcessed since we changed our BGA via tenting to double tenting. The tenting is done with a dry film application to fill the via from the solder side then apply LPI Mask on the surface of the

What could be possible resons for " Plating Crack on Barrel (tented via)" This tented via is in proximity to parts being hand soldered. The crack in barrel was detected on failure analysis - micro-section of via where barrel is having crack ( circul

Hi T2, The purpose of this is that we want to make our rework robust. Whenever we rework BGA's we have solder getting trapped into those 1 sided tented vias and bet yah...they are hard to desolder! And during BGA resoldering these trapped solder will

I wonder if they are concerned about getting chemicals trapped in the tented vias. If the tented vias have pin hole openings or even larger openings, chemicals from the ENIG process could become entrapped in the via holes and not washed away in the
