BGA opens

Step 1 is to find out what kind of opens you're getting through a cross-section or die & pry. Are they head in pillow, brittle fracture at the intermetallic, bulk solder cracks, ball separation from interposer? Without some basic failure analysis a

Craig, If it is LF Hasl it sounds like it applied too thin exposing the intermetallic layer wich is not solderable. We call out a minimum thickness of 80 microinches and have good results. We have had shops in the past that did not control the Hasl

When you break them where is the failure? Is it the solder joint (doubtful), the part termination, the body of the part, or the board? If in the solder joint, is it in the bulk solder or intermetallic? If in the part, what direction is the crack?

We find that the raw BGA's pad sheared surface has the SnPb solder at various Z heights whereas the assembled BGAs pad leave a smooth layer of SnPb along the pad. Like to understand the cause for the difference. Who could guess? Solder joint streng

>>>>Dave, The BGA substrate surface finish is NiAu, while the PCBA pad surface is HASL. The solder ball composition is SnPb 63/37 and the solder paste used on the PCBA is also the same but with 2% Silver.>>> Dave, sorry I don't have the picture with

Could be. What are your profiles? 2) Au finish fail => Could be, but that the connections can be made with hand soldering makes this a low probability cause, assuming the activity of the flux used in hand soldering is not significantly different fr

We can inspect and measure strain field in anything larger than 320nm with Laser techniques we have. We can do this measurements during fatigue testing. Of course thick intermetallic region as a solid region is a problem due to the fact that you ha
