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

You can reduce and almost eliminate voids and other paste related defects in LGA's BGA's, QFN's etc, by using solid solder deposit. Its been around for 24 years, 13 in the US. It is now included in the new IPC 7093 specification for bottom terminat

All you can do is try it. I did a literature search last year on causes of BGA voiding and came up with a pretty long list, sometimes contradictory. I also discussed it with several paste suppliers. What I came away with is that what aggravates voi

Hi mates, was going thru the IPC-A-610C Standards, and noted BGA voids stands somewhere between 10%-25% voids permissible in the solder "ball" bump, after reflow process. Was wondering, hypothetical case study, is there any specification for voids

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

Philip: Cases 1-3, those criteria may be specified in more recent versions of ANSI/J-STD-001 and/or ANSI/IPC-A-610. Unfortunately, I do not have any new versions of these specs. that may cover these points. As for voids in BGA joints, I have not

Does IPC definition for "QFN Void Ration" ? Like IPC 7095 susgestion the BGA Void ratio.

1)Solder paste selection 2)Reflow profile.Focus on soaking and TAL. 3)Moisture control for BGA. 4)Maybe the BGA solder ball already with void. 5)PCB design.Any via on bga land? 6)Solder masking type. 7)Solder paste volume apply on land. 8)IPC class 3

I am more worried about those voids also instead of the voids in the thermal pads. I still can't find any IPC spec that calls out a min. void percentage other than on BGA packages.

Garo: Voids are primarily process indicators. There is experimental evidence that voids retard crack propagation locally around the void on a temporary basis. There is no standard, IPC or otherwise, on voids--nor should there be. See also J-STD-013,
