Is anyone conducting pull test using an adhesive/epoxy for D&P.   It has worked well for me for any size BGA, even CPU sockets.



Victor,

 Hi Inge,

Yes, I have done 'Dye & Pry.'

The 'prying' part is not easy for large components. I did it starting at the corners working piecemeal around the 4 sides.

LN2 is a god idea—I do not see how it would cause misleading results, please explain.

Werner

By the way, speaking SJ issues, has anyone of you experience from Die & Pray technology, like the one described by some guys, who tested large game boards, see figur 9 and 10, dye and pry testing? It's not easy to pry so large BGAs. 

What kind of tools etc do you use? Myself, I had to dip the board under test in

LN2 before prying off the superBGA. That's not good, the low temperature can mislead the result.

 Hi Vladimir,

Maybe we should simply drop the name 'Black Pad' entirely-too much baggage and confusion.

Maybe we should refer to them by their failure modes and damage mechanisms-solderability issues due to 'galvanic corrosion', brittle fracture due to P-enrichment, brittle fracture due to 'any other cause applicable.

   Werner,



Yes, I agree that there are two different phenomena BP and BF, but I can not agree on the statement that the root cause for BF(brittle fracture) is high P content. 



Regards,



Vladimir

 Vladimir,



Indeed you sent me that ATOTECH paper, but I have several references that disagree with their definition, as well as others that agree with the Atotech paper.



There seem to be (at least) 2 different 'defects' at work-one with hyper-galvanic corrosion of the Ni during Au-plating causing soldering problems, and another causing brittle separation due to a weakened interface cause by too much P.



Are we in agreement on this?



I do not really care what you call either of them-clearly the root cause is different in these cases and so is what needs to be done.



Clearly, what we need is for the IPC to form a committee to provide proper definitions and 'names.'



Werner

Werner,

We've been through it several times already. As far as I know, BP was defined as 

a case of poor Ni-P plating with cavitation present in the layer. I think I sent 

you an old ATOTECH paper on the topic a while ago.

Regards,

Vladimir

 Hi Vladimir,

Then we are not communicating.



Please explain to me what YOU mean by 'BP failure'.



When I say 'BP failure', I mean it is because too much P between the Ni and the 



IMC layers has weakened the bond leading to brittle separation on sufficient 



loading. I do not differentiate as to the cause(s) for too much P. For me they 



describe a damage mechanism.



You can similar appearance with too much and too little P.

   Werner,

You just confirmed what I said in my previous e-mail. You customer got failure 



with black appeared pads, but it wasn't BP failure. Similar appearance doesn't 



mean the same mechanism.



Regards,



Vladimir

 Hi Vladimir,



I have one client who experienced 'Black Pad' after 9(!) soldering operations. 



The P-content got progressively worse; it peaked with the EDS spikes for P being 





as high as those for Sn.

Werner,





With all due respect, I don't think you are right.

 Hi George,



\While what you say in the first paragraph is correct, the second paragraph is 



not.

'Black Pad' is not an all-or-nothing proposition. The seeds are sown at the 

Ni-plating (not the Au-plating) with the P-codeposition. However, multiple or 















lengthy expositions to high soldering temperatures result in more Ni being 















dissolved to form IMCs leaving ever more P behind. This can create 'Black Pad' 















where none existed before.

As always as soon as there is a solderability issue with ENIG, "Black pad"  















comes up. This is a problem because it does not allow for further 















investigation.  Everyone accepts since this is ENIG then it must be black pad.















 















If this was a black pad issue the back side should have exhibited the same  















problem. BP occurs during the plating of the gold on top of the Ni. BP 















cannot  differentiate one side from the other.















 















Do not accept BP as the answer and keep investigating.
