Good Morning, I have seen many posts regarding BGA voiding being excessive and what can be done to better the condition. I have a customer that has an assembly that we have had a diufficult time with. We have spent a lot of time debugging the proces

Very coo!!! [You have done an outstanding job of describing your situation.] I guess the via are connected to a BIG chunk of copper that affects your profile on that pad / ball. At the same time, run a profile each on a: * Void pad * Nonvoid pad

Look at "Microcanyons", Circuits Assembly magazine, December 1998. There D Pauls & T Munson describe adhesive on boards that was cured too rapidly and formed a skin that trapped volatiles and solvents. The volatiles and solvents created long voids i

Sounds like the wrong reflow profile was possibly used on this batch, Or you have a lead solderability problem. Usually you will pull a pad off of the board instead of the lead out of the solder joint. When a lead is torn from the joint it will ha

Use ENIG, plated finish will be too thick and make for a brittle joint. ENIG is self limiting so this condition cannot be present. To ensure that the bond is strong for BGA you must ensure that process is under control. The correct reflow profile w

Change mfgrs of paste OR better yet use pbfree paste, If you are collapsing the balls on the BGA then you are possibly overheating the paste/flux quite a bit. most lead pastes do not like much more than 230 C. I am assuming that you have a decent p
