9.2.8 Eggshell Void

9.3 BGA Interposer Bow and Twist

Plastic BGAs have a

tendency to warp during normal assembly reﬂow pro-

cesses. The warpage can occur on the BGA substrate or on

the product PCB. The result can be an open or short con-

dition at the solder joint that deals with the stresses. The

temperature (reﬂow proﬁle), BGA construction, solder

paste volume, and cooling condition all contribute to the

possible defect. Shorts in the corner balls, is an indication

of warpage in BGA where the corners of the BGA package

are bent inward (frowning BGA).

Solder shorts are caused in adjacent and/or opposite BGA

corners as the substrate bows downward (frowning) and

applies a stress to the corner balls. This same phenomena

can cause balls, away from the corner, to lift away from the

mounting substrate as the substrate changes from frowning

to smiling as shown in 9.3.1 and 9.3.2. As BGA substrates

and die are becoming thinner, package warpage is increas-

ing. In order to have a robust SMT process, checking to see

that sufficient solder paste has been added to the land is

recommended. The process should be closely monitored to

ensure that additional defects are not created such as solder

bridging, solder balling, etc.

9.3.1 BGA Interposer Warp

Opens in corner balls is an indication of warpage in BGA

where the corners of the package are lifted upward. Such

opens, as shown in 9.3.2, could be minimized by using an

extra amount of solder paste.

Adding excess solder is not a solution to the problem.

Determining the root cause and addressing the reasons for

the anomaly is more important toward establishing a robust

process. Modifying the stencil aperture to permit solder

paste deposits on the board should be used as a solution to

open corners only when certain process or component con-

ditions cannot be altered, such as when the reﬂow process

has already been optimized, the BGA package or the BGA

interposer cannot be redesigned, or the product board can-

not be redesigned. In addition, the anomaly must consis-

tently occur and solder and component inventory should be

considered prior to making any process changes. If the

decision is made to use excess solder paste to correct opens

in corner balls, the process should be closely monitored to

insure that additional defects are not created such as solder

bridging, solder balling, etc.

Microvia 0.65 mm @ 1000 cycles

Shows collapse of solder joint, intermittent contact fail-

ure resulted

Possible Cause

Entrapment of air or other gaseous species during reflow. The

air or other gaseous species could possibly have evolved from

the microvia in the PCB.

Potential Solution

Remove component and replace with new one.

Possible Cause

– Warpage of the BGA caused by thermal mechanical stresses

during reflow soldering.

– Check other corners for similar conditions.

– May be caused by frowning BGA interposer where the corner

becomes raised.

Potential Solution

– Increase ball size at corner or use glue-dot. In some

instances add in tape during the reflow process.

– Return package to supplier.

– Check coplanarity using shadow moiré at reflow temperature.

9.3.2 Solder Joint Opens Due to Interposer Warp

9.4 Solder Joint Conditions

The following sections deal

with the conditions of the solder ball in relationship to the

mounting structure and the component interposer. In each

instance, an explanation is provided as to the reason for the

occurrence of the condition.

9.4.1 Target Solder Condition

9.4.2 Solder Balls with Excessive Oxide

Possible Cause

– The failure appears to be due to insufficient paste release

from the stencil or insufficient ball size.

– Warped package (smiling BGA) with corner balls lifted up.

Potential Solution

– Check balls at incoming prior to assembly.

– Return package to supplier.

– Implement incoming inspection and/or source audit.

– Apply extra solder paste on corner lands.

Possible Cause

Solder balls exhibit a uniform shape and texture, and they are

symmetrically aligned to the attachment sites, showing ball col-

lapse on both top and bottom of BGA balls.

Potential Solution

Document process parameters and maintain a stable process.

Possible Cause

Solder ball oxides will form due to exposure to multiple reflow

solder cycles (topside or bottom side).

Potential Solution

This can be reduced significantly by correct flux selection,

reducing the number of production reflows to two and not

cleaning the PWB between reflows.

9.4.3 Evidence of Dewetting

9.4.4 Mottled Condition

9.4.5 Tin/Lead Solder Ball Evaluation

9.4.6 SAC Alloy

Possible Cause

Dewetting of the solder at the contact interface may be due to

excessive oxidation on the land, organic contamination. Poor

plating can contribute to this condition as well. ENIG comes in

a number of systems, i.e., hi P and low P systems. Dewetting

of ENIG is due to oxidation of Ni barrier not excess P on sur-

face.

Potential Solution

Develop process effect controlled experiment to determine

which attribute contributes most to dewetting.

Possible Cause

The surface condition of the solder ball is likely the result of

overheating during the reflow solder process or excessive/

repeated exposure to temperatures above liquidus.

Potential Solution

Evaluate reflow process in order to determine proper ball char-

acteristics.

Possible Cause

Reflow of solder paste should form a proper ball geometry.

Potential Solution

Maintain process effects standardization.

Possible Cause

Slightly mottled appearance of the tin-silver-copper alloy.

Potential Solution

Determine paste and ball characteristics through experimenta-

tion.
