. Most finishes will allow for this, with the main exception being organic solderability preservative (OSP). While this type of finish is eco-friendly, low-cost, and simple to manufacture and rework, it has virtually no shelf-life and can be easily damaged

. An opposing school of thought was that voids act as crack arrestors, which improve solder joint life. The root cause of voids in BGA solder joints is well understood by the electronics industry with a number of papers published on the topic [1, 2, 3]. R
