Dave, thanks for the info. This sounds like it would verify the presence of an open. We have verified that these balls are open and I am trying to figure out if we are fracturing or not wetting. causing these opens. I would use the die method on ne

R1: So if I understand you right, it could be possible that gold dissolved, but the ball still didn't wet to the underlying nickel. D1: Correct. The gold dissolves into the solder first. The solder wets to the nickel second. If you nickel is corro

Thanks Scott,Iman, The problem has been isolated to detachment from package so I believe that there are no fabrication issues related to the Gold on the PCB. What is a Moyet analisys? where can I find more info? Dave, I am still waiting on Altera t

R1: Contacting Altera to find out if the BGA pads are gold. D1: Bet money the pads were ENIG. R2: Contacting Altera to find out if they use abrasives. D2: If abrasives were the problem, you�d see it in many pads, especially those close to the probl

Well, first off now I'm just starting to believe that we are fracturing again. But here is some more input D1 ENIG? I would not have thought that they would be but as usual you are probably right. D2 Again I would have to agree about it should affe

R4: We see the ball left on the PCB with a flat top and the BGA pad appears to be virgin. D4: Not good. The flat top indicates that the ball melted at one time or another. This pad and ball have seen at least two solder cycles with solder and flux. S

Hi there. We are considering to attach die chip with solder paste to the pcb at the SMD line (we are used to attach it with silver epoxy at the die bonding line before). This is a whole new method to me, so I'd like to have some opinions here. Where

Thanks Jim, that should help. And yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel.... now : ) -Sasu-

Sam We install a lot of die in the SMT room using same process as SMT parts.Water soluble solder paste is used for attachment of die to ceramic and boards. Biggest problem i found is the adjustment from installing the die in the bonding area. The t
