Voids with LGAs

Electronics Forum | Fri Feb 01 19:07:57 EST 2013 | hegemon

We have had some success in void reduction with LGA by pre-tinning or "bumping" the devices before placement. The extra solder seems to allow a slightly higher standoff, and allows better outgassing, is my guess. A lot more labor , but the results

From a process perspective, I don�t know if you should be concerned ... You've told us nothing about your process. THE BOOK JEDEC MO-51 allows 6 thou warp in smaller [1mm pitch] BGA and 8 thou in larger [ 1.27mm and 1.5mm pitch] BGA. The increase

Stencil, Step Down. A stencil of varying thickness that allows printing different amounts of solder paste or adhesive. Most stencil suppliers make stepped stencils Step stencils are used when there are fine pitched device amoung coarse pitched dev

Chris, one question, which standard allows to put it in the drawings/dokumention? As I said in my old IPC-D-275 it says "no". Did it change with the new edition ? Referring to J-STD-001 in this case seems to me like "I followed only the orders and do

Henry, TNT makes some good points. I have also found that the use of a 2% silver solder paste (provided that it's allowable) can help reduce the occurance. You may want to run a thermal profile on the PCB is question. Is the board thermaly equalized

All of the information so far has been great, I would like to add one more thing to the puzzle. We have utilized a "homeplate" aperture on the stencil when the pad geometry or PCB design prohibits all of the above mentioned remedies. The hompeplat

Allow me a disagreeable moment here. 'Bad boys..' is memorable (learned it in high school), and that is the point of using a memory device is it not? Its purpose is not cultural training, moral instruction, or a life plan it is just a memory devic

Hi Scotty sorry to stir things up but we assemble some seriously high value boards on a contract basis with vias through bga pads. However, not blind vias, so there are no cleaning issues & we use 6 though stencils to provide a little extra paste t
