Hi Kurt, I agree with Dave F. I had exact same problem with PBGA placement. We requested our PCB vendor to plug/tent via (button printing) after HASL with SR1000 which worked well in the long run. There are couple of failure modes associated wit

Would comment extensively on the following? The time is a fact for X-ray inspection. If you set the contrast, tilting angle correctly (provide you did enough cross section to know the few type of failure mode: e.g. smaller balls, shorts, missing on

FMEA, when used correctly, is an excellent tool. The best thing about it is that it holds INDIVIDUALS accountable. The meeting cannot be closed until specific people (usually process types like me!) are assigned specific duties. I agree with Dave tha

depends on what you want evaluated! you can thermal cycle the BGAs and the examine the x-sections to determine failure modes at different stages of thermal cycles. you can do a stress test and corelate the # of thermal cycles with the microstructu

Hi manchella, After ATC test, two different failure modes can be present: solder FATIGUE (into bulk) or BRITTLE INTERMETALLIC fracture. So, first you have to verify this. Moreover, which brand of SMT paste have you used ? The crack into solder joint

Create a package, set the mechanical centering to the dimensions of the 8-DFN that you're trying to place, test the centering. Tweak the dimension that's failing. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. An 8-DFN package is nothing more than a rectangu

Davef, We see increased IMC thickness for electroless Ni and the brittle mode failure occurs much earlier in multiple reflows, exposing IMC layers. Not good for board level reliability.Regards. GV

The "band wagon" was a corporate decision. The performance issue concerned a communications problem between the line computer and the F5 (f5 locked up in the middle of a PCB). This issue did not show it's ugly head until a month after install. I t

Cracked capacitors usually are not found at ICT. Unless the cap is completely cracked, the capacitance may not change much, and the usual failure mode is a leakage current. This is usually only seen in ESS type testing, when temperature and humidit
