Here's some notes from IPC APEX 2015: * Black underfill is Heraeus. It needs to be preheated to 180-200*C for rework. Above 200*C it changes state and becomes difficult. * Clear underfill is from an unknown Korean supplier. * People from Heraeus w

Hello, we rework BGA packages that come back from the field. I've seen on occasion a black and or red "epoxy" substance from the manufacturer on the corner of some board's BGA chips that I imagine are applied to increase corner bond of the chip to th

Materials you see are corner bond adhesive, main purpose of this is mechanical shock absorber , it promotes additional adhession to lessen stress to solder joints incase device subjected to mechanical stress like dropping.By function, corner bond

We agree with "guest" above. This a "chip bonder" type material used to improve the reliability of array type devices. "A relative comparison of the N50 values is given below: No underfill = 1.0X (baseline) Corner bond = 1.3X Non reworkable underfi
