Now, that's different. We misunderstood the problem from your original descrtiption. We thought the voids were showing at the via in the pad. Now, we understand the voids appear to be in the solder balls. Suggestions are: * Search the SMTnet Arch

Chris, We also do not allow the use of Lead-Free BGAs in a lead based process. It is actually one of the things that scares us most about converting to Pb-free. Most of the suppliers that we have talked with are planning on moving to the SAC

I think where the fuzzy thinking starts is by calling the recipe's; profiles. Or maybe I"m being too fussy. Idealy you want every solder joint to have the same thermal "profile" (not recipe). That is the temperature over time is best if identical fo

I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but a technique that's worked very well in the past for me is to methodically step through every part of the process and observe your boards being built, or take a scrap or simulated one a

I have very little knowledge of pick and place machines or assembly, and was hoping someone could give me some advice of where to start looking. I do learn quickly so I am not afraid of challenges or learning through mistakes. I need to produce abou

Good Morning, I have seen many posts regarding BGA voiding being excessive and what can be done to better the condition. I have a customer that has an assembly that we have had a diufficult time with. We have spent a lot of time debugging the proces

Thanks to all for your input. We did have a third party do an analysis on boards from the first shop. They were shipped directly from the board shop to eliminate the possibility that we could contaminate them. The third party (Forsite) did find Sili

It's more likely the warp is due to material issues. I've spent way more time than I'd care to admit running Thermoire with various profiles and there's pretty much nothing you can do to reduce warp via profile unless your current profile is truly a

Hi, Thanks for the reply guys, and this is interesting information. I had assumed that if we had a paste spec, and this was the spec for the solder to reflow correctly, then if I achieved that spec, the solder should perform correctly. However this

Thanks to Scott for your reply, much appreciated. Are you aware of any new developments in this area? Particularly in respect to the solvents? We are aware that fluorine chemistry is now in-use with amazingly high boiling points. We understand that
