Design and Assembly Process Implementation for BGAs
1 SCOPE
This document describes the design and assembly chal-
lenges for implementing Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Fine
Pitch BGA (FBGA) technology. The effect of BGA and
FBGA on current technology and component types is
addressed, as is the move to lead-free assembly processes.
The focus on the information contained herein is on criti-
cal inspection, repair, and reliability issues associated with
BGAs. Throughout this document the word ‘‘BGA’’ can
mean all types and forms of ball/column/bump/pillar grid
array packages.
1.1 Purpose The target audiences for this document are
managers, design and process engineers, and operators and
technicians who deal with the electronic assembly, inspec-
tion, and repair processes. The purpose is to provide useful
and practical information to those who are using BGAs,
those who are considering BGA implementation and
companies who are in the process of transition from stan-
dard tin/lead reflow processes to those that use lead-free
materials.
1.2 Intent This document, although not a complete
recipe, identifies many of the characteristics that influence
the successful implementation of a robust assembly pro-
cess. In many applications, the variation between assembly
methods and materials is reviewed with the intent to high-
light significant differences that relate to the quality and
reliability of the final product. The accept/reject criteria for
BGA assemblies, used in contractual agreements, is estab-
lished by J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610.
An additional challenge in implementing BGA assembly
processes, along with other types of components, is the
need to meet the legislative directives that declare certain
materials as hazardous to the environment. The require-
ments to eliminate these materials from electronic assem-
blies have caused component manufacturers to rethink the
materials used for encapsulation, the plating finishes on the
components and the metal alloys used in the assembly
attachment process.

3 SELECTION CRITERIA AND MANAGING BGA
IMPLEMENTATION
Every electronic system consists of various parts: inter-
faces, electronic storage media, and the printed board
assembly. Typically, the complexity of these systems is
reflected in both the type of components used and their
interconnecting structure. The more complex the compo-
nents, as judged by the physical size and the number of
input/output terminals they possess, the more complex is
the interconnecting substrate. Cost and performance drivers
have resulted in increased component density and a greater
number of components attached to a single assembly, while
the available mounting area has shrunk. In addition, the
number of functions per device has increased and this is
accommodated by using increased I/O count and reduced
contact pitch. Reduced contact pitch represents challenges
for both assemblers and bare board manufacturers. Assem-
blers encounter handling, coplanarity and alignment
problems.
Component packaging in general and microprocessor and
memory packages in particular, drive the rest of the elec-
tronic assembly packaging issues. The driving forces for
component packaging are thermal and electrical perfor-
mance, reliability, real estate constraints and cost. Periph-
eral devices with 1.00 mm pitch have become common-
place in the industry. However, this package cannot
accommodate higher than 84 pins. Larger peripheral pin
count devices require lead pitches of 0.65 mm, 0.5 mm or
0.3 mm.
Although pitches below 1.00 mm are useful for reducing
package size, the increased density presents many prob-
lems for most manufacturers. At these fine-pitches, leads
are very fragile and susceptible to damage such as lead
coplanarity, lead bending and sweep. To place these pack-
ages, a pick-and-place machine with vision system and
waffle pack handlers are necessary. These two features,
however, can add substantial capital equipment costs. Fig-
ure 3-1 shows an example of the package manufacturing
process. Ball grid arrays were developed to overcome the
assembly challenges presented by these fine-pitch, high
lead-count peripheral devices.
Since BGAs use solder bump interconnections instead of
leads, problems associated with lead damage and coplanar-
ity are eliminated. BGA pitches from 1.00 mm to 1.5 mm,
have well over 250 µm of standoff height, so problems with
paste printing, placement, reflow and cleaning are signifi-
cantly reduced. BGAs also provide much shorter signal
paths compared to fine-pitch devices. Shorter signal paths
can be very critical in high-speed applications. The termi-
nation types also play a role in the spacing between I/Os.
Design guidelines should indicate that it is important to
allow added spacing between the fine-pitch devices and the

mounting substrate. With the exception of no-clean fluxes,
cleaning problems arise with fine-pitch devices that sit
almost flush (less than 250 µm) to the board. For proper
cleaning, a 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm standoff is recommended,
with the need to meet this requirement based on the size of
the BGA package, since smaller profiles allow easier pen-
etration of the cleaning solutions. Using a temporary solder
mask over the vias under a package avoids flux entrapment
problems. However, this extra process step increases pro-
duction cost.
3.1 Description of Infrastructure The use of BGAs in
the design through assembly processes has become com-
mon in the last few years. Nevertheless, incorporating these
parts into electronic assemblies requires dedicated engi-
neering resources to develop, implement and integrate the
processes into the assembly operation. Even though BGAs
can leverage existing SMT infrastructure, there are techni-
cal considerations that must be addressed in order to be
successful in implementing BGA components into existing
product configurations.
3.1.1 Land Patterns and Circuit Board Considerations
Land patterns are copper areas on the surface of the printed
board which provide the mechanical attachment for the
component and the electrical connection for its leads or
terminations. Land patterns are important to manufacturing
because the dimensions of the land affect the consistency
and reliability of the resulting solder joint, and may also
affect cleaning and testability. Land pattern design for grid
array components is even more critical because of the
increased difficulty in solder joint inspection and repair/
rework. Land pattern design issues for BGA need to be
understood. This is essential to assure proper solder joint
formation and prevent defects such as bridging, opens and
to achieve optimal reliability. Land pattern development
was difficult in the past because of the lack of standardiza-
tion in physical sizes of components, and also in the toler-
ances that were considered acceptable. There has been a lot
of effort to standardize recently, and rules for developing a
three-tiered approach to different land pattern design can be
found in IPC-7351 Generic Requirements for Surface
Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard.
BGA lands can be solder mask defined (SMD) where the
solder mask overlaps the land, or metal defined (MD)
where the solder mask stays away from the land. There are
pros and cons of each approach and the choice often
depends on the pitch of the BGA (impacting land size), or
the size of the BGA (impacting part mass). These condi-
tions help define thermal stress reliability where the MD
solder mask avoids the possibility of a stress crack in the
collapsed ball or mechanical shock reliability where the
SMD solder mask helps to secure the land to the laminate.
Both the board manufacturer and the assembler must deal
with land size issues, compatible surface finishes, solder
mask registration and electrical testing. But the assembler
has additional challenges related to the selection of appro-
priate solder alloys and paste properties, and the develop-
ment of temperature profiles and consistent processes for a
wide variety of board types and component styles.
Although the electronics industry continually reports the
development of new component packages with higher and
higher pin counts, the components with the highest usage
have pin counts in the 16 to 64 I/O range. Over 50% of all
