Head in pillow and Graping are closely related in origin, and cure.
Possibly also - due to the interactive nature of everything in solder paste
processing - you need to look at printing as well as flux behaviour. 
Powder size is not normally the limiting factor in fine pitch printing, but
transfer efficiency. So as noted try and stay with larger size where ever
possible to avoid increasing the possible oxide burden on the flux. Particle
surface area increases geometrically as diameter decreases.
Nitrogen can help in reducing flux damage at very fine pitch and therefore
reduce this problem, but it is possible to resolve this problem without
recourse to it.

We still using type 4 that give good results with 110um (laser cut nickel
stencil).

Hi Cedric,

What are you using as powder size in your actual solder paste ? :
- Type-4 ? 
- Type-5 ?
For your application Type-4 could work, better if Type-5, but as you know as
powder size gets smaller the risk of powder oxidation increases, so N2 could
be a must during reflow.

Gabriele

I wasn't thinking about warpage as HOP cause, I will take care of that
:thanks.

And no, I've never encountered grapping and HOP at the same time. The point
is that it deals with 2 kinds of defects that are coming with
miniaturization.

At Apex, one of the primary causes reported for HOP was component
warping.  
However, if you are also getting graping at the same time, then to me it
appears that it is a solder quality/heat issue.

 Hi Cedric,
What do you mean by 'grapping effect"?
You do not say where you find 'Head-on-Pillow' defects-they can occur at
the BGA periphery and in the BGA center and the root cause is quite
different.
HOP at the periphery is a solderability issue and certainly involves the
choice of paste/flux.
HOP in the BGA center means you do not have enough heat there to get the
solder ball to a low-viscosity liquid state-that means you need to
increase the peak reflow temperature.
One of the reasons for larger solder volumes is to achieve greater SJ
stand-off heights to improve reliability.
Werner

Hello all, 

Very fine pitch BGAs (typically 0.5mm) and 0201 chips are becoming
common in our company for some months. 

We recently have to face with new defects type such as grapping effect
and head in pillow defect. 

The solder paste we use has been qualified for even smaller component
(WLP, 0.4mm pitch) but in Nitrogen atmosphere.

I'm now wondering if this solder paste is suitable with Air reflow. I'm
also wondering if a solder paste suitable in that case even exists. 

Having a look to this study from intel (link hereunder, page 31), I
found that the people from Intel are recommending a solder paste volume
larger than 2000 mil^3 as a minimum.
 
http://edc.intel.com/Download.aspx?id=3044&returnurl=/default.aspx

That is, off-course, impossible for a VFBGA (which solder paste deposit
is closer to 900mil^3) but this reading makes me feel uncomfortable. 

So the question is: is it possible to find out a solder paste which is
suitable for VFBGA assembly in Air reflow? 

If it is not against TechNet rules, have you some solder paste
references that you could advise?

Here are some additional details: ENIG PCB finition, SAC305 Alloy.

PS: I'm very new and I'm also French. I wish it will not be too much for
you! Anyway, thank for being patient if I have difficulties to
understand.
