Wow, what a bunch of crabby old men. BGA opens can occur from pre,during or post process. I never chimmed in cause the original poster said they would performa a dye test. Yet as usual, they never get back to this forum on what the cause was. So

Step 1 is to find out what kind of opens you're getting through a cross-section or die & pry. Are they head in pillow, brittle fracture at the intermetallic, bulk solder cracks, ball separation from interposer? Without some basic failure analysis a

Seriously, OSP?, change the board finish, you are the OEM, correct? You have the power! Also, as another poster mentioned, high force applied at ICT ( possibily to cut through the OSP goop ?!? ) could be warping the board enough to crack the joints.

to get a 0-defect layout, OEM and CM have to work together, If you know what connections (balls) are the problem ones, let me know, and send me the gerber-layers + solderpaste layer, so we can see if the problem is design related or if you CM realy
