I'd guess that the interconnect pads on the BGA have poor solderability. Confirm this with testing at an independent lab. Work with your supplier to resolve the issue.

Hi, (me been absent for some time...) Are your brds confirmed HAL over copper? (check out what Dave F mentioned abt possible root causes) or are the brds HAL over nickle? (shd be no problem here, if so?) or are the brds strictly nickle plated pads?

We've never seen the defect that you describe, but in wave soldering-land blowholes usually are caused by moisture in the board that out-gasses through the too thin plating of through holes. * Bandaid fix: bake the boards * Long-term fix: Obtain boar

Cheers to you Your gold plating is specified for the gold wire bonding between the die of your BGA and the pads on the BGA substrate. For solderable surfaces this is heavy on gold for use on pads. Gold SB thinner on pads to limit the amount of gol

Hi: The component height will increase on the PCB after reflow soldering. But i don't know the accurate data of the increased height. Who can help me to get it? The stencil thickness is 5 mil we used. Thanks Harriss
