What causes Bga corners to lift during reflow | 27 September, 2003

All, I was wondering what causes the corners of a bga to lift during reflow process.Now just to clarify i have been running this one particular product for 4 years and i have the process and reflow profile down to a tee.But recently i have witnessed fallout at ICT due to shorts under the bga caused by the corners lifting during reflow.Since i only have one supplier for this part and i have been using them for years what error has been introduced to this part to cause this problem. Any insights would be gratefully received, Mantis

Hi Mantis.

Has there been any changes in the BGA itself? One of our BGAs changed to a newer type, and after that we had problems with corner lifting. In that case problem was BGA's structure, there was mismatch in TCE between BGA's substrate and molding compound. There was nothing to be done, but change the BGA for that older type again, since the problem was in the BGA itself, not in our proces.
