John, There is one process issue that occurs with the larger BGA packages which have coplanarity near the high end of the .2mm spec.. The defect is commonly referred to as "ball in cup" and "head in pillow". It is an open solder connection whereby th

Give us infortmation, please. What is [are]: * Height board to board side of the interposer on the low side of uBGA * Height board to board side of the interposer on the high side of uBGA * Alloy of solder balls, no paste was used correct? * Type of

Is it possible that the flux you used, if applied in excess could have caused the balls to "blow out". I have seen this in the past and it was related to the type of flux we were using and the amount. Russ

I don't know if I would call it a "blow hole". what I believe happens (I don't have a camera to watch spheres during the reflow process) is that when the flux starts heating up, expansion, bubbling, or something physically displaces the balls. We fo

We are looking for a recommendation for a company that can perform solder ball inspection on BGAs. The devices are in trays and the the challenge is the ultra fine pitch (0.4mm) and ball size (0.25mm diam). We are looking for ball diameter and coplan

What is the component ball co-planarity spec? I have encountered many ceramic and ASIC devices that specify 7 mil max. If your stencil is 4, 5, 6 mil you WILL eventually have an open joint. You must deposit solder greater than or equal to your cop

I am looking at placing a Altera BGA device that has a .45mm Nominal Ball Dia. with a .8 spacing c-c between balls. The PCB will be gold plated so co-planarity should not be an issue. Interested in suggestions that may assist producability when pla

I have never experienced voids when using the flux only for application. Search the archives for void causes. As far as "more paste is better" I think that could be a true statement if we are talking about adapting to co-planarity type issues. My

Hi Experts, I'm facing short problem with BGA at SRT rework in one particular BGA. It is BGA, with a metal piece at the center like a coin. The BGA is located in between two high profile press fit connectors and the short always observed at the si
