Hello, I have been having some troubling issues when it has come to BGA Placement and I was hoping if there have been others who have been able to resolve similar issues. We are curently doing reworks on a variety of BGA, but seem to be having issu

| | Hi, | | We are having problem with yield loss due to electrical fail. Further investigation shows that the failure is due to solder bridging under BGA. Has been there any study or experience on how this could occur and what we can do to prevent

Gregory, I think that the profile is too radical, i.e. zone 6 to zone 7 temperatures are too far apart. I would guess that the solderjoints have not all reached 183C in zone 6 which is why the uBGA's do not have a symmetrical ball collapse. You may
