according to the ressult of cross-section and removing the component, I find there is no black area in the left pad, and the IMC is also normal, so the black nickle is less impossible. the PCB material is not common FR4, just some thing like ceramic,

Hi, Sounds like your engineer does not know what he's doing. We have developed and built hundreds of thousands of boards with normal square pads for 0402, and we just use a 5 thou stencil with 5% reduction and it works well. Decoupling? What is tha

hi I am designing a test vehicle with a range of components on it(pbga, cbga,fc, mbga, and qfps). My concern is that I would like to use a single stencil for solder deposition and not a stepped stencil. That would require me to have aperture design a

Don't sound proper. There is no specification. Pad peel strength test methods are: * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.21 for multiple solderings * IPC-TM-650, Method 2.4.8 for copper peel with a Instron machine. Typical requirement for Cu is: 6 lbf/in [1

Methods that can reduce the wettability of OSP: * Previous heat cycles * Previous cleaning cycles * IPC-1601 "Printed Board Handling and Storage Guidelines" says do not bake prior to soldering * Using improper handling methods BR ... davef

I agree with the previous two replies. This is a perfect design....if you're trying to create a graveyard full of tombstones.

what is the technology? Is there fine pitch, double sided, number of layers, lead free? If the pcbs are not of the highest quality you may be set up for failure with no clean process. Couple things to look at is your paste flux content versus medal

Our case is not due to thermal pad print squeezing because our shorts are mostly in the outer rows of the BGA so they cannot be caused by central pad printing. We still stick to the BGA thermal pad coplanarity/height hypothesis but have not yet prove

I have identified a Board design issue and having trouble convincing others of my findings. I have a BGA (Sn63 balls, +1500 IO, 0.6mm ball, 1mm pitch, with heat spreader plate)that has a high incidence of solder shorting on the corners. The board i
