Every paper I've seen published shows that BGA voids either have no effect or actually give a slight improvement. The one exception are voids with a root cause in bad incoming boards, such as champagne voiding where nearly the entire interface is go

I never understood the statement "process indicator". The 7095 committee used that wording but didn't explain it. Other than really unusual cases such as champagne voiding, BGA voids are not a reliability issue. A half dozen studies have come to t

Bryan: Comments are: * You're correct, solder paste formualtion is a major driver to voiding in BGA balls. * Voids are primarily process indicators. There is experimental evidence that voids retard crack propagation locally around the void on a temp

Reg: This is copy / paste from draft version of IPC 7095 ( issued May 1999 ) ... 7.3 Assembly accept/reject criteria 7.3.1 Voids in solder joint a. Sources of Voids There can be voids in solder balls, or at the solder joints to the BGA, or at the so

Based on X-ray imaging, IPC-7095 standard specifies three categories for void size for BGA solder joints. These categories are based on the percentage of joint cross sectional area occupied by the voided area. Class III Small: Void area is LT 9% Cla

Hi Pat According IPC-610D voids biger 25% are considered defects. You need verify you Pre Heat and try to reduce the ramp. Its very importante verify if the BGA`s are avoid hummity. Erli

1 When you peel the solder connection of a BGA, * If solder remains on the soldered surface [eg, component, substrate, etc], it's good. * If some solder remains and some base metal is present, it's marginal. * If no solder remains, it's NG. 2 Try I

Just to add to my comments,solder joint voids do occur in LGA. Voids in LGA can be larger due to geometry and greater ratio of flux to solder. IPC-A-610D specifies a greater than 25% voided area is a defect for BGA, however, it does not specify the d

Just out of curiosity, how are you or anyone else determining a defect? Last I checked, IPC had no criteria yet for solder defects for QFN components. Has this changed? Biggest problems we see are voids which our x-ray shows a lot of. Our problems

How about section 12.2.12 of IPC-A-610C? It doesn't include detailed description of root cause/effect but acceptance criteria.
