| How do I mechanically/visually inspect BGA devices when they are soldered to a PCB for possible solder, or other, defects as a first step before part removal and further analysis? I have had board failures due to poor soldering--I think? I can pr

| | Hi, | | We are having problem with yield loss due to electrical fail. Further investigation shows that the failure is due to solder bridging under BGA. Has been there any study or experience on how this could occur and what we can do to prevent

Scavenge all the old solder off the board and the chip. Micro screen paste to the chip. As far as thickness, check your aspect ratio to determine the spec. Eliminate just one variable at a time to get to the root cause. Start by not using the tacky

Had the very same thing happen the first time we used the small QFNs. The aperture for the thermal pad in the center needs to be cut in a grid form, either squares (with around a 10 mil spacing between openings) or circles, like a BGA pattern. Too mu

Any tips out there for effective LGA rework? How is solder best re-applied? Can these parts be sent out like BGA's for "re-balling"? Like all of you, we build, profile place and solder for reliability, but the time will come when one of these co

The solder joints might hook up but my opinion is you'll end up with mechanically weak joints that could fail over time. If your trying to get your Xbox back on-line at home I'd try it but not if your charging $ to fix it for someone else or re-work

Well, the paste must be OK, because other components don�t have this problem. The board must be OK, because other components don�t have this problem. So, it must be either the component or the profile. I�d speculate that you need to do some work t

today I succeed placing the BGA at the other table(table2), the part data is only changed with "pitch_limit"=50%,lead_check_ area=50%,lead_brightness=0. but when I process vision at the tale1(which equipped the MTU),still failed,the error message is

In reviewing the myriad of BGA reliability tech papers there seems to be little commonality in the type of test protocols. There are tests that are industry specific, device vendor specific and customer specific. What guidance in terms of minimum me

With tacky flux, the BGA is not as reliable as one that was never repaired. I believe Dave stated that the higher offset may have something to do with it. Also with tacky flux, the ball collapse form side to side varies a bit. Sometimes a ball(s)
