Sounds like you may have already found the issue: inconsistency from your supplier. Seeing as Gold really doesnt oxidize and you're using an inert environment (N2 I suspect), I would turn my attention to the supplier. You said yourself, the "Shine

Hi What is the possible cause of non-wetting of solder paste to the gold land pad. What we observed in the surface of the non-wet pad is an organic FM, and using FTIR we found out that it is a flux. It is possible that the cause of non-wetting is

Is the solder wetting to the pad, and not to the part? If so, and all other things being true (same process, profile, solder), we'd suspect some contamination on the part preventing solder from wetting to the part. This could be tested by attemptin

Hi All, Currently im seeing a cold solder/ poor wetting underneath the BGA Ball as i shown in the attachment. From the attachment you also can see one ball with poor wetting and another ball with a good wetting. When i checked with my re-flow profil

What could be the main reasons for De-wetting in reflow process. Can anybody answer

Chris: Typical non-wetting causes are: * Poorly controlled soldering process * Incorrect material * Surface contamination * Insufficient preheat * Misapplied solder mask * Shadowing Without intending to insult you, all of the causes of non-w

There are several smd components in our factory that don't reliably wet to solder during reflow. Paste and placement are good, but the component won't wet reliably. All of the other components on the boards solder fine, but one of these components

Chris: You can have more than "one question!!!" Anyhow, yes crappy solder paste can cause non-wetting, but before you go there understand why the paste is wetting some surfaces, but not others. Ta Dave F
