Steve,
I would look at the bare fab in regards to the specific pin that is
causing you a problem. It may be that during testing of the bare fab
that there is excessive pin pressure(test fixture wise) for that pad.
this can weaken the bond between the foil and the resin. You can
verify this by wicking of the Sn/Pb on the pad in question and see if
the "witness" mark from test is present on the copper pad. If it is
then that is probably your "root cause"

Subject: ASSY: Pad damage on 504 pin BGA's

We are running an assembly with a 504 pin BGA and have had rejects for opens.
There will be one open per board, and the 8 board rejects have had the open in
the same location of the BGA.
The boards are 6L and foil construction. Warpage for bare boards is about .6%.
The cross sections show that the pad and prepreg(not core) have been torn up
from the PCB and moved .005" in the X(or Y) direction. If it were more than one
pad I would think there were component mismatches, but the other pads look OK.
The copper pads are secure to the torn prepreg, but it seems that the prepreg is
fractured around the fiber bundles. The fractures appear on the 1st layer of
glass below the base foil.
The solder joints look smooth and round. There is no evidence of excess solder
or any problems on adjacent pads.
The PCB's are supplied with HASL finish and the BGA's are solder bumps. This is
a Type I board with active components on both sides. The PLGA material is BT.
Sorry for the poor explanation, but does anyone have any theories on this?
