Guidelines in of themselves are merely the under fill of the great belly
of knowledge that is Technet.

Subject: Re: [TN] When not to underfill
Thanks Werner. Yes, your column was very helpful. Sounds like my
question may be a bit naive and that I am trying to simplify things too
much. I was searching for an IPC guideline or to at least start a
discussion on the subject, but maybe this is a proprietary area. Fellow
TechNetters: is that the case?
Have a great day,

where without it solder joint failures would occur prematurely for the
application in question. As work by Motorola [see my reliability column
Engelmaier, W., "Reliability Improvement with Underfill," Global SMT &
Packaging, Vol. 6, No. 3, March 2006, pp. 66-67] has shown, not all
underfills are of equal benefit and that increases of up to 6x are
achievable in praxis.

small component size, high solder joint stand-off, built-in component
compliancy [Tessera patents], small CTE-mismatch, small delta-T, then
there is no need for underfills.
