The problem is lead enrichment regions forming in the hottest part of the joint. The lead pool is the weakest part of the (SMT) joint. In TH interconnects hot tear or pad lift can result. I have recently seen this first hand.

I had identical issue with CBGA's. I also found stress fractures at the sphere/substrate interconnect. The supplier had data to support their acceptability but we persisted and they reworked them,

Jim Zanolli of Teka Interconnect did an "OnBoard Forum" a couple of years ago [ http://www.smtnet.com/forums/index.cfm?CFApp=2&forum_idx=44 ]. He certainly would be a good point of contact.

what part was this? was the high temp solder on the first level interconnect? why is the high lead solder being soldered with a SAC alloy?

Sounds like a good challenge. What is your interconnect bond method? Solder Paste, Pre-Form/Liquid Flux or Paste, Assuming your using solder. Reflow method?

Does anyone have experience in doing dye and pry analysis on PoPs? A customer wants to know whether or not the board level or device-device interconnect is the suspect. What other technique can anyone recommend? BWET

Dye and pry is frequently used on BGAs to determine if there is a crack at the board level or component level interconnect. C-SAM will show internal delaminations of components, not sure how well it would work with solder joint cracks. You can also

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.
