Anyone experience high voiding levels in SMT lead free solder joints when the CHIP has bright tin plated end caps ? In the same process, Matte tin plated CHIPs don't show any voiding issues.

| Our spec on voids is 30% ball diameter in the center. On the component to ball and pad to ball interface, we use 25%. To determine this spec, we asked around. I don't know of any studies that have been done to verify if this is OK | | Regards | Ji

| From several months I am investigation about the VOIDS PERSENCE and his important as reliability. | One question now is : | It is possible that on the BGA components the voids are already present into the balls, before the mounting on the pcb ? | I

Thanks Russ! The origianal complaint from the customer was in regards to what appeared as "bumpy" appearance and "holes" in the solder fillet. This problem was originally presented as an appearance issue only. Further investigation by our DPA lab r

Large voids are common in via in pad [seach the fine SMTnet Archives for earlier laments], especially in blind via. Observations on your via out gassing theory: * If the copper plating on your via is GT 1 thou, there will be no outgassing from the

These voids only appear in the solder connections that have a (via in pad). The pads that do not have (via in pad) do not have any voids. Profile is 60 seconds above 183 C and peak of 218 C. The BGA is an OMAP lead free,I am using standard eutectic s

All you can do is try it. I did a literature search last year on causes of BGA voiding and came up with a pretty long list, sometimes contradictory. I also discussed it with several paste suppliers. What I came away with is that what aggravates voi

Be careful about taking any generic advice and trying to use it to reduce voiding for your particular paste with your particular boards. I've done a few literature searches over the years on causes/cures for BGA voiding in the SnPb world and found a

Thanks both of you for responding. I am using a protoype reflow oven. It uses a programable controller to ramp the temp up. It has convection and radiative heating. Ultimately yes, I would like to use a vacuum furnace like the sst but it is not c

make 4 square rounded corner apertures on the ground pad and the total reduction of 20 % (80 % solder paste). Then you still be able to solder the terminals around. Don't worry to much of the void's. Just following my tips and you will be fine. The
