Some conformal coat gets extremely hard and brittle at low temp, impact on TC, drop, and other mechanical behavior. You do not wnat to go there.

I don't think modulus of elasticity matters.
I think where the material is 'fully' constrained it is the bulk modulus that really matters and for most materials that is very high, i.e. most materials are very incompressible. So elasticity is for an unconstrained material which is not the situation with a thin layer under a large device.
We tend to think about linear expansions when looking at stresses on devices not cubical expansion.
When I say I think it is because I don't know. If you can catch the intonation on 'know' in an email.

I figure the modulus of elasticity also plays an important part?

I am not a materials expert but I've always wondered if a quick glance at the linear coefficients of expansion was inadequate to evaluate the stresses applied by a thin layer of organic material under a large device.
At the centre of the device the edge may appear to be at 'infinity'
therefore an elemental cube of the material at the centre will experience a linear expansion 3 times the unconstrained linear expansion. This makes the assumption that the bulk modulus (k) of the material will be very high.
Can anyone tell me if my wonder is right or wrong?

Good morning Juan,
I suspect that Xilinx wants you do do a thermal cycle study on solder joint reliability when conformal coating gets under the BGA. The stresses brought about by a mismatches in the coefficient of thermal expansion
(CTE) can rip a BGA off the board and can severely deform the balls.
Hillman and I did such a study here a few years ago. I can share a few pictures of what happens, if Steve Gregory would be kind enough to forward his present e-mail address for the photos. Not sure I have the right one.

[TN] BGAs & Conformal Coating
Hi,
I've read in a Xilinx guide that: "Xilinx has no experience or reliability data on flip-chip BGA packages on board after exposure to conformal coating. It is
recommended that the end-user should characterize the board level reliability performance of Xilinx packages before production use."
Does anybody know any infomation or study related with this topic?
Thank you.
