Hi Victor,
For optimum reliability, the pad diameters should be 1:1 if either both are SMD [solder mask defined] or neither is SMD; if one is SMD and the other is NSMD, the SMD pad diameter is best at about 1.1-to-1.2:1.
The reason for this is the stress concentration geometry resulting from the solder mask interfering with the surface tension of the molten solder forming a smooth contour.
Having said this, this is more important if you do aggressive accelerated testing or have severe use conditions [automotive].

Subject: [TN] Pad to Pad ratio, BGA solder bump
Fellow TechNetters:
Searching for guideline/Industry Standards for solder bump pad ratio. The
carrier external copper pad to PWB/PCB external copper pad. I was initially
given info that the ration should be close to 1:1. Otherwise the formation of
the solder bmp would vary in shape. Also solder mask defined mis-registration
would cause solder bump mis-shape. With this shape difference will an
imbalance of the solder cause stresses occur.
Carrier pad: 12 mil, solder bump dia. 14 mil: PWB/PCB pad: 7 mil
I don't have a cross section yet. Soon I hope.

As some of you may remember I retired two months ago and I highly recommend
it for anybody and the sooner the better! BUT I have not retired from
TechNet, I still lurk around the edges and enjoy reading everything. I
haven't contributed much lately but sure to find "both" Friday challenges
fun and interesting.
YES - Keep it up!
KennyB
