There a several things you can do to prevent the solder wicking down the hole with the current design, and that's where you should focus. Cost goes up as you go down the list, but in neither case do you need to respin the board, have solder starvatio

Both imm silver and ENIG provide flat surfaces that are better for fine pitch placement and reflow than HASL. We know of nothing that makes BGA locations different than other locations when using ENIG solderability protection. More broadly, the pri

There is no industry standard for reballing BGA. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for a reference to Motorola�s reasoning behind their not shipping product with reworked BGA. As background: * JEDEC is the semiconductor engineering standardization gr

If you are seeing reflection on the underside of the part, I would first begin with the recommended light levels for the BGA. You should be able to obtain the levels from the Siemens help desk. There is a 2 to 3 page document with levels for a variet
