Been there done that...................8-(
Unfortunately sometimes where you need a memory array with matched signal
lengths there is not an alternative ....
One thing to watch though is that with BGA both sides the thermal stresses
will be worse since you are pushing heat into both sides of the board at the
same time on the same real estate.

Subject: Re: [TN] BGAs on opposing sides
We used to have an assembly with mirrored BGAs. Whenever we needed one
reworked I called the design engineer responsible for this fiasco and
told him to get his sorry butt down to the Airvac rework machine. It
wasn't long before it was completely redesigned.
Here is what you can do.
Use Loctite 3609 to cornerbond the BGA on the opposite side. Cure at 150
for about 10 minutes, no more.
Mask off the adjacent components around the BGA you wish to rework with
a high-temp, ESD-safe, non-polyimid tape such as Tapes II T-32 (this is
actually a 3M product). http://www.tapes2.com/electronics.htm
Flux the BGA you are about to rework, and flux the mirror-image BGA on
the opposite side of the assembly as well. That way if it goes into
reflow it will have the advantage of a flux application.
Allow to cool after removing the BGA. Perform the site prep, replace
with the new BGA and reflow that in place. X-ray at an angle so you can
verify both BGAs are good. If X-ray looks good, then remove the masking
tape, run the board through the wash process, and finally chip off the
cornerbonds using a small exacto knife. Do not cut into the PWB.
If the customer allows it, you can leave the cornerbonds on.
Qualify this process on your product before you jump in and rework a
number of BGAs this way.

Subject: [TN] BGAs on opposing sides
Hello,
I have a board before me with multiple BGA's on both sides. In some
places they oppose each other.
Does anyone have any manufacturing ideas for soldering the BGA's?
One I have heard is to mask the first side BGA's and heat through the
mask, BGA, board and finally the pads of the second BGA, finally
removing the mask when done.
Thanks,
Rich
