Put micro via in pad pcb in pressure cooker for 24 hour at 2 atm with RH and 121 C, took out as std ramp down. Print solderpaste, place part, and reflow after 30 min. Out of pressure cooker You may get your wish.

Subject: [TN] Suggestions on Making BGA Voids
Hi gang! Ok, I have a fairly crazy request for suggestions on how to make
BGA voids. First here is the background - Dr. David Bernard (Dage), Dave
Adams (Rockwell Collins) and I are working on a collaborative project to
investigate the thermal cycle solder joint integrity of BGA components. We
are attempting to produce data which the IPC JSTD 001 committee can use to
revise the 25% maximum void criteria. Despite public rumor, this current
IPC JSTD 001 void requirement is based on actual IPC Class 3 field
equipment results submitted to the committee several years ago. However,
BGAs have changed in both size, pitch and solderball diameter since the
creation of the void criteria thus the reason for collaborative project.
We have a test vehicle which contains BGAs at 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm pitch
with each having a corresponding larger solderball diameter. We have put
uvias in the BGA pads to "create" voiding. Great plan, figured we had it
made- however, after running the test vehicles thru a standard reflow
process (this effort is focused on tin/lead right now) we find that we
have an average void size in the range of 0-5%! My production process
folks are very proud of that result but it doesn't do our voiding
investigation much good (you can imagine the look I got when I told them
they didn't make enough voids greater than 25%). I know that a number of
the Technet community have tried to accomplish this voiding task with only
mild success (i.e. Bev Christian, Martin Wickham, etc.).
My Technet request is - do you have any suggestions on how to increase the
solderball void size without causing a biased negative impact on the
solder joint quality? I can obviously make some huge solderball voids
(such as pouring Doug's Diet Mt. Dew on the test vehicles) but the overall
quality of the solder joint would not be representative of the real world
product.
Thanks in advance
