Rob On your thermal recipe: Above liquidous for nearly 2 minutes seems to be a scoush long. Not sure you're doing anything positive with things like that. On the article: * SMT Magazine, October, 2002, p24 'Q & A: BGA Dewetting' * "Q: Our manufactu

First, on your reflow temperature comment: The 183*C focus for reflow recipes for tin-lead solder is a falicy. If you held a recipe for tin-lead solder at 183*C peak, it would never reflow. Recipes for tin-lead solder need to be at liquidus plus 20*C

If the HASL was poor quality and very thin you would find this defect....but you would expect to see it on more pads also. Also, you'd expect to see your solder from your solder paste either dewetted on the pad or reflowed onto the BGA sphere making

RDR The most common cause of dewetting is from a fabricator using any form of abrasive (e.g. pumice, abrasive brushes etc.) on copper. With this process, abrasive particles get implanted into the copper (often actually swaging copper over some of th

Well, here is what I have found so far. I have removed the top of the BGA and found that the ball had detached from the package. Three balls were removed with the two adjacent balls pulling the pads off the board and stayed attached to the BGA while

Please check with Fab house, what is the thickness of the immersion gold if the gold thicknesss is less than say 2.5 micron, you will found dewetting or open. It is recommend the gold thickness is around 5 micron. Good Luck Dason

Since your problem has been posted quite some time ago I am eager to know, if you have got any clue. One of my customers recently claimed our 313-PBGA causing problems, as one of its balls (randomly) is almost dewetting. So no evidence is found by x-

USE JEDEC Specification EIA/JESD22-B102-C Procedure: 1. Stencil print BGA solder paste pattern onto ceramic substrates 2. Carefully and accurately P&P BGA devices onto the dispensed solder paste pattern to avoid smearing the solder paste. 3. R

Using convection type reflow we observed following problem: One ball of a 313-PBGA appears to be dewetting. This happens randomly, i.e. no specific ball location, failure rate is rather low (3-4%), but since there are 12 PBGAs on one board the failu

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent
