Are there formalized standards for the properties of solder balls? No Get IPC-7095 �Design & Assembly Process Implementation for BGA's�. General comments about array package solder balls are: * Ceramic packages use harder solder, like 90/10. * Pla

On "Flip Chip/uBGA Under-fill Visual Standards" � The third "Satisfactory" [The under-fill if by design should be visible � ], here the notation "if by design" is unclear. Does "according to product documentation" get to the point? The first "Acc

I agree with Iman. Verify the integrity of the component for moisture. Most definately place an amount of ownership on your PCB supplier. Request tank analysis results and copies of the lot travelers. Look specifically for any in process rework pro

Now I've checked the archives on this and found the starts of an answer but not much else, but then that posting was a while ago and I though there would be some more data now. So here's the question: who, if anyone is placeign Pb-free BGA's (ideally

Diamond/sqaure shapes are good for when you X-Ray the BGA as stated above. The only problem is if you you over print too much, you can get solder beading. I recommend round pads to avoid the beading and use X-Ray to make sure you reflow correctly.

I don't recall if a specific alloy was mentioned just that most lead free alloys would not melt with a Pb profile and result in a less reliable joint in the long term. There was also concern about tin whiskers. Try the archives at http://www.ipc.or

1) why is No-clean (NC) the preferred process, for BGA mounting by SMT? Probably the same reason NC is the preferred process for mounting non-area array SMT components. 2) why is water-soluble (WS) not a hot choice? There�s not reason not to use
