Hi gang! Steve - one more addition to Ryan's list: the Hi-temp solderballs
eliminate some of the "tolerance" benefits that a eutectic solderball gives
you in terms of placement, collapse, and self alignment.

Hi Steve,
OEMs don't put Hi-temp balls on the corners because intermixing alloys it
is not conducive to mass production. Or at least not without a lot of pain
in package manufacturing.

Hi Jim!
Sounds like you have the problem of excessive ball collapse with BGA's
solved! I wonder why the OEM's haven't done something like this? It's not
like this is an obscure problem...
Silly question; is it possible to replace only the corner balls with
Hi-temp balls? See? I told you it was a silly question...
-Steve Gregory-
It just so happens that we build a multi-chip module using a 625-BGA
package. We buy the empty package from Kyocera, install multiple die and
discretes, seal the lid, attach the balls (4 hi-temp in the corners) and
solder the BGA to our PWB.

Jim,
Do you get the devices like that, or do you put the hi-temp balls in
the corners yourself?
Thanks!

Victor, we use high temp solder balls on the 4 corners of a
625 ceramic BGA.
The main purpose is to prevent the device from collapsing,
causing solder
bridging. Maintaining the stand-off height after reflow
also increases long
term reliability.
