Philip,

I am no reliability gal. However, from what I have been asking around
some time back regarding coplanrity especially for BGA, the board bow &
twist formula and technique is applicable. Instead of taking the entire
board, you should concentrate on the BGA footprint area. This BGA area
now become your board. Find the reading around this area as you would
for board. For PTH, bow & twist <1%, SMT <0.75% and for BGA <0.5%.

Do not asked me how the 0.5% comes about, it would given to me by Dr
John Lau when I asked about this bow & twist for BGA. I guess it has
something to do with the solder ball coplanarity being 6 mil.

That's is all I can share. Hope it is of some help.

Regards,
Wee Mei
