Use a solvent-based die because it has a much lower surface tension energy then water-based dies....



Have used Dykem with good results...

 Hi Dave & Ine,

I worry about 2 things.

1) at 100C there is likely a large thermal expansion mismatch, possibly causing or propagating cracks while the dye is still liquid;

2) many of these dyes are H2O-based and may boil with just a slight over-T

Hi Inge - we'll have to wait for Werner's reply. I use 100C and have very

good results (that's 100C for 30 minutes starting the clock when the test

vehicle goes into the oven).

Sir,

Hi Inge - the 100C temp is correct, remember that you are trying to get

the Dye completely dried out in a very small crack shadowed under a set of

BGA components on a test board.  A temp of 50C works fine too but takes

considerably longer. I should probably add some text on consulting with

the Dye manufacturer recommendations with consideration for the thermal

impact of the test vehiclee.

Hi Dave,

Did you write it?

Is this the only IPC document with D&P in it?

D&P can of course be done with less resources.

While immersion in both acetone and the dye creates the best results, it

may

not always be possible, effective and/or necessary.

Depending of what it is you are looking for, applying a vacuum may be

overkill?this should be optional.

Dye drying at 100C sounds very high?drying at 50C works well but may take

somewhat longer.

I would not make freezing optional, only freezing by LN2. Putting the

samples in a freezer overnight works quite well.

Hi Werner - there is a very good Dye & Pry testing procedure in the



Appendices of the IPC 7093 specification on Bottom Terminated Components



which includes the use of LN2. I have not observed the use of LN2 to



confound the testing results.

 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.

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.

 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,















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.

 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.

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

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

 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

pad.































































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

Do not accept BP as the answer and keep investigating.
