Dear all We have since few weeks problems with BGA solder joint integrity on ENIG finish. Under relatively very flexible of the FR4, the joint breaks between ball and PWB. When we take off the BGA for analysis, some of the pads seem very flat, totaly

Are the voids in the balls of a BGA? Are you verifying this through x-ray if they are? some voids depending on size and location are some what accepted. Solder paste type? Solder paste date code? Humidity high? PCB's been stored in a truck trailer?

If the balls are eutectic (63/37) You shouldn't have any problems. All of our BGA rework is performed without paste. You have plenty of solder to make the joint with the balls themselves. Be wary of cleaning however since the standoff is less.

I recall a couple of papers in the SMTA 'Knowledgebase' that used ball shearing and an element in a study that compared BGA [maybe uBGA] component fabrication methods, er sumpin.

IPC-7525 tells you how to make stencil apertures for BGA IPC-7095 tells you how much should be the paste volume in order to get a reliable BGA solder joint. How are your PCB finisced? (HASL, ENIG, OSP, etc?) In case of not HASL, it could be necessa

HLY: If you must build product while you wait to get the printer fixed, and if the BGA balls are eutectic solder, your approach is a good one. All solder paste does in this assembly application is supply the flux. Additional solder volume is not ne
