Sorry JB you need to coat a couple of balls to create the defect then place
the device not the pads!!!!  O dear I am giving away how I make my video
clips.

Did you like all the sepia tone images of SMART Group's 25th Anniversary in
the newsletter, you giving me a big tube of smarties as a gift for being
Chairman was nice!!!

Many thanks

Subject: Re: [TN] BGA X-Ray Defect Detection Capabilities

It is very difficult to find co-planar board surface defects on Xray. The
system relies on a visual interpretation for example an elongated joint
profile suggests some level of co planarity issue such as component warpage
- If all joints are good except one or two non wets the X-ray system may
have issues resolving this.

The reason is that the "pull down" of the good joints will compress the
molten solder on the open joint that cannot wet to the pad and it will not
look too much different from the joints around it.

If you want to manufacture such a joint you could deliberately contaminate
one or two BGA pads, reflow the BGA and then go take a look on the Xray
system to see if you can resolve it.

I am not going to tell you how to contaminate those pads (you should not
have an issue) as there are people here that will yell at me.........8-)

Subject: [TN] BGA X-Ray Defect Detection Capabilities

Everyone,

I just came back from an X-ray vendor qualification trip, and of course,
have a few questions for my professional peers.

Both vendors experienced problems reliably detecting opens and non-wets.
I really didn't expect to see this, as I thought these would be two of the
most common defects seen among BGA users.  We had to leave boards at both
facilities so they could further develop their algorithms.

We were not able to create a head-in-pillow defect, and thus, were not able
to check their machines for this.  They also had no sample boards that
carried such an anomaly.  Is this another defect that is difficult to
detect, and must one utilize a 3D machine in order to find it (assuming the
machine is capable of both 2D and 3D inspections, and there are no
components beneath the BGA)?

Are there any other caveats you might be able to provide?  Our list of
questions and qualification efforts were extensive, but I'm certain we
missed something.  I just hope whatever it was fell outside of being a
critical item...

Thanks in advance,

Leland
