Profiles are absolutely the first course of action to validate. A few additional questions would be: * Moisture can cause warping as well, verify the manufacturers recommended handling procedures were followed. * Where is the suspect BGA located

What do you mean by "substrate?" Is it: * Semiconductor die * BT circuit board interposer Is the BGA package: * Encapsulated * Mounted on a circuit board

Hello everyone, my company produce Alumina PCB. Till now we mount ceramic BGA on alumina substrate, but now it's hard to find ceramic components so we'd like to mount plastic BGA on this kind of substrate. Do you know problems about it? Please, if yo

Hi everybody? I heard that typical FR-4 would not acceptable for BGA application. What is the main reason? (thermal property? or CTE?) Sombody please answer me the requirement of PCB substrate for PCB application. Thanks. Youngho Song

Dave: You should see a solder smudge on the gold plating where the ball was attached, if there is (was) solder reflow during either the (1) BGA fabrication, (2) your BGA attach, and / or (3) your BGA removal. You rework will not remove the solder

Thanks for all the info Dave. It's the interconnect between the copper foil pad and the eutectic solder ball that I'm most interested in. The BGA in question is very thin gold plated over nickel over the copper. When we are reworking the BGA, i

Dave: There's lots of stuff on the web describing BGAs. Examples are: http://www.smtnet.com/bookstore/publications/0speckdo1/s1.html http://www.smtnet.com/bookstore/publications/0shutcco1/ch1p2.html http://www.citizen-america.com/OEM/bga/process

Is there a typical alloy used by vendors on the substrate pad? What is their process used to attach a eutectic ball to that pad? Thanks.

Hi Dave I think you just provided the key to understanding the problem. By your description you are talking about a CBGA (ceramic). These typically have balls composed of 10/90 Sn/Pb which melts at a higher temperature than the 62/36/2 Sn/Pb/Ag (or
