Antonio, one possibility I have seen before on BGA shorts was due to chain slippage on the reflow oven due to worn gearing, the slippage was not severe enough to move other SMT devices but was enough to disturb the molten solder under the BGA

BGA Shorting 1 Damaged mask in between the BGA pad and via on the substrate. 2 Poor print registration. 3 Poor via segregation from the pads? Are they tented or is there just a dam in between? 4 Review the profile. You can run into a number of p

We have problems of solder shorts while using DEK Infinity printers. Some of the manufacturing lines are configured ina way that the side (bottomside) of PCBs mostly with passive parts is screened first and then the otherside (topside) of the PCBs w

It seems familiar, but nothing that I've actually experienced. I've read some articles about tin-whiskering in lead-free solder. I think NASA has some pretty good analysis (or, at least they did a couple of years ago). The summary is that without

Shvetang, From your post it is difficult to say why the shorts are occuring and in what area of the board. I offer my assistance to solving your issue, I am an Applications Eng with DEK USA. Please contact me via e-mail at jhingtgen@dek.com or phon

I'm having shorts appear on my QFN packages between pins, usually only after a week or so of power-on operation. The shorts are 1K and slowly down to hard shorts over time. Typically a defective part will have failures on multiple pins. I tried havi

What is the surface finish of the PCB? Tin? Imersion Silver? What flux is used in wave solder and / or SMT? I have much experience with silver migration and tin wiskers. Both can disappear during a reqork cycle. Both can be extremely difficult

I need to first understand what "Peeled the BGA off" means. Was heat used? was this the pry and lift method? We had shorts under some BGA's we have and the solder was bridging from lead to lead but not on the board level at the FR4 on the BGA creati
