Hi Jowan - if your testing was thermal cycling, what was the temperature
range you were using? The JCAA/JGPP data was for a -55C to +125C cycling
range.

Re: [TN] SnPb SOLDER BALLS WITH SAC SOLDER PASTE
Hi Dave,
Yes, also MSL plays an important role.
About the cracks due to Pb migration; We have seen the same happening in
some experiments.
regards
Jowan

Hi Jowan - when you run a component thru a thermal process you not only
have to consider the impact of temperature but also the impact of moisture
sensitivity. As you detailed, many tin/lead components are thermally
robust enough for a lead-free soldering process. Unfortunately the
moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of tin/lead components makes them less
robust in a lead-free soldering process and raises the potential of having
a latent field failure. Forward/backward compatibility of mixed systems
can be a big issue if there is a lack of due diligence. One additional
comment - the JCAA/JGPP Leadfree consortia project and the folks at AIM
Solder have documented that in some cases, lead migrates to the solder
joint crack interface when tin/lead solder (i.e. a solderball or a surface
finish) is processed in leadfree soldering process resulting in greater
solder joint integrity degradation.
As a side note, Iowa is having a wonderful blizzard with 12 inches of
powder snow and 25-30 mph winds today! Heads up East Coast folks, the
storm is on its way.

Re: [TN] SnPb SOLDER BALLS WITH SAC SOLDER PASTE
I agree with you Ioan,
Most leaded bga's have maximum temperature specifications below the
lead-free process.
So why worry about the balls when the bga is electrically damaged?

Hi Lee,
First, how would you reflow a leaded BGA at LF temperatures without
popping it?
Then, the closest paper I have, coming your way in a second, is something
from AIM saying that Pb will deposit at the points that cool the slowest,
making brittle Pb pockets at the interface with the pad.

I know about the problems with soldering BGAs with SAC solder balls and
SnPb solder paste and read plenty of papers pro and con.
I heard about a report where if you solder BGAs with SnPb solder balls
using SAC solder paste, the resulting solder joint will be unreliable. Has
anyone heard of anything like that? If there are any cross-sections or
papers that you can share with me, that would be great.
Thanks again.
