Hi Warren,

What about covering the BGA-via's on both sides, with addition of dedicated testpads on the bottom ?

I have seen different ways to address masking small vias (<13mils) under BGA.
   cover them with mask prior to HASL top an bottom ( can't we need to ict probe
   bottom)
   cover top with mask prior to HASL (could cause trapped chemistry in via and
   will not allow solder thru, we like the effect on thermal reliability for
   environmental extremes)
   leave the mask opening only slightly larger than via (tent)
   do a post hasl mask to cover over via ( causes 2x the thickness of mask at
   overlap, could be a problem with uBGA ball only 14mils dia to start with may
   not touch pads)


We use #3 but have problems with rework leaving solder plugged vias that look
like shorts in xray.

If there are some other ideas or thoughts on how to design the via masking under
the BGAs I would like input. Thanks!
