<< I have a questions about the pad size needed for a BGA device. We are
using a 25
mil 10/90 balls on an organic substrate (FR4).
We currently have 20 mil, non-solder mask defined, pads on both the device
and
PCB. What is the recommended pad size? We
have control over the pad size on the device and PCB. Thank you.

Hi Mike!
Check out Daan Terstegge's new web page at: http://www.daan.tmfweb.nl/ and
then
click on the "Various PCB Assembly Links" button, and you'll find a link to a
Motorola Application Note PDF file about BGA design and assembly.
According to that paper, Motorola changes the pad size according to the pitch
of the balls on the device, and recommends that they both be the same size
(the pads on the BGA and on the PCB). They also recommend NSMD
(non-soldermask defined) pads.
For 1.5mm pitch balls, they use 25-mil diameter pads. For 1.27mm pitch they
use 23-mil diameter pads. In both cases the soldermask opening they use
31-mil diameter openings...
Daan's got a pretty neat web site...check it out!
