BGA Detached off the board | 11 August, 2008

We had experienced two (2) A BGA which fail (detached) off the board. Surprisingly we noticed that most of solder joints remains on the board leaving perfectly exposed and clean pads on the on BGA package (virgin pads) . Note: No mechanical stress was applied to the board

Can anyone explain the defect?

Thanks,

eyal

Sounds like solder is not taking to the pads of the BGA interposer. Check the solderability of the component.

I assume you mean the balls of the BGA, not pads (laugh it up guys - I said balls). If so, you may have a no-lead BGA or a high temp BGA.

I mean that the the balls were left on the board and the BGA pads were found clean. What do you mean by "no lead BGA"?

Thanks

Sounds like bad BGA's to me. I suspect this is rare but you can get black pad on the BGA attach pads just like you get them on a PCB. Do you have un-processed BGA's?(still in package) I would have one tested (not by the manufacturer)!

Your defect may be possibly due to black pads, although it is rare on component side. Is your BGA pad finish ENIG? If so, inspection using a SEM can give clues on the presence of black pads
