Most CSPs are BGAs. Some are sent without bumps or balls. Thjos eneed to be bumped prior to processing for best results

We have never studied this, but here's what we'd guess. If there are void in BGA solder balls at inbound: * A proper reflow recipe will eliminate the void. * A poor recipe will allow the void to remain and possibly generate additional void.

Hi All, We are using BGAs from a new supplier, and the BGA solder balls are not collpasing properly. Can someone out there shed some light on what could be the root cause? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thats it. 6 mils works great with a 10% reduction. We had also had some issues with our p&p placing the parts to hard and smashing out paste causing a bead to form in the middle of our 0805 packages.

Your problem is being caused by to much paste being printed.Reduce apeture size on stencil. http://www.shanelo.co.za/technical_paper_about_stencil_de.htm or http://www.shanelo.co.za/SMD%20Assist.htm

Can anyone take a look on the cross sectional diagram of this reflowed BGA ball? Any idea on what has happened to this? The PCB surface finsihing is OSP with regular lead-free 305/405 solder paste. Thanks SC

"We don't associate solder balls with no-clean flux and humidity." I'll let the former speak for itself, but on the latter, not even spatters?

Don't forget the value of being able to blame everything from bridging, solder balls,tombstoneing , traffic jams, the price of gas, the demise of the american auto industry and everything else on your stencil supplier. That would now be you!
