Q1. What are you guys doing for filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. 2221A, 4.5.1 tells you the vias have to be tented on both sides. Q2. What type of issues can this cause if using no filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. BGA

Yes, some solder masks do not tent well, because the material is too thin. That�s the trade-off. Thin masks: * Conform well to [don't bleed onto] fine pitch features. * Tent vias poorly, requiring an additional "plugging" step. As you imply, if th

When double sided BGA's are used on an .062 FR4 10 layer board should via's be plugged and tented? The CACHE chips being used are PBGA's 1.27mm pitch. The pad size is .030 and the finished via dia. is .010. This is a dogbone type pad and via design.

Sorry. I actually should clarify those slides. Black pad is not associated with tented vias. Also, you can tent vias with soldermask, but this requires the immersion gold process to be completed prior to soldermask. As such, all copper features (

Our ICT Guy here at my company loves to use lots of via holes as test points - via holes which are 0.040" diameter, and spaced at 0.004" edge to edge spacing! He doesn't like to tent the via's either, so I always battle via-to-via shorts at the wave

Dreamsniper What is the rationale for the double plugging? And why from both sides?

Is there an ICT probe style that can pierce through tented (closed) via's?
