Is there any chance that the boards were mechanically stressed (for instance, installed in a fixture) before, during, or after the testing? I'm just looking for other possible root causes.

Hello, I had recently a problem of crack between the solder ball (SnPb) and the Ni layer of the PCB pad. We use Electroless Ni/Au technology for PCB. This phenomena is amazing because the crack is very clean (straight) and it creates a space betwee

You are correct. The gold dissolves in the solder. The gold is meant to protect the nickel from oxidizing, so that you can solder to the nickel. Obviously that didn�t work as planned. Your background information is very sparse. Two things come

Dear all, Recently, we run 2 models with heat sink attachment on top of this BGA(on top of this BGA, there is flip chip attached at the center of the BGA). Hence, the center of the BGA is higher than corner/side. We used conventional way to attach

There is no standard for a strain gage measurement of allowable deflection of a board or a fixture. It's possible that your fixture is causing the BGA cracking that you see. What protion of the BGA is cracking? If it is the solder connection, sear

Dear all, I have an issue here where we found BGA crack. Understand from friend, we need to study any possiblity of our own jig or fixture cause this problem via strain gauge measurement..My question: Is there any standard @ specification establish
