I was wondering if anyone could direct me towards documentation on shear test methods/apparatus to test the bond integrity of a solder ball to its substrate. Thanks.

I recall a couple of papers in the SMTA 'Knowledgebase' that used ball shearing and an element in a study that compared BGA [maybe uBGA] component fabrication methods, er sumpin.

Not all but some were tested O.K before the failure. What are some of the other reasons for ball separation from the component body besides mechanical stress?

All my studies led me to believe that it was CTE mismatch of this package. Altera was of less than 0 help in this matter. The other possibility was an ICT test fixture. Unfortunately (?) the design life of this product was at end and the new design

Hi folks, Lately I am also having problem with BGA ball problem. We are finding more and more on X-ray analysis and is very expensive to replace. I know for sure that we could rework on CCGA but there is no certified process in industry as we speak

Hi Kc! I went to Surface Mount International last week, and had a chance to see a way to reball BGA's that is very simple, and not expensive at all. I've seen the advertisements in a few magazines, but this was the first time I've seen it live. It's

Our company laser re-ball's BGA down to 100 microns ball size. One of our OEM customers have asked us to function test there BGA on Mobile phone PCB's. Origionally we thought of a test sockets however the sockets interfere with other devices on the P

When we first got into BGAs on ENIG we were getting joint cracking at in-circuit test. The joints were breaking in the Sn-Ni intermetallic. We did a lot of pull testing while working with our board suppliers and our conclusion was that pull testing
