Thanks, Joyce.
Cu-S complex gonna creep along glass-epoxy interface or over solder resist surface?
The discoloration is creeping beyond via pad on appearance, but not corrosion product with naked eye checking. It is different from typical immersion silver creeping corrosion.

Cu-S complex. Residue etchant or other chemicals traped there. If they use UV
ure mask, un cured mask may have S containing chemicals that react with Cu.
nside via is difficult to cure. Just an off shot Guess.

Hi Colin,
The thing that confuses me, is that Charming said that the boards looked
ine after assembly, and it was only after the boards had been stored a
hile did they notice the dark areas around the vias. If it was thicker mask
ver the vias you should have seen that from the beginning, right?

I agree with the plugged via scenario....
The possible reason for "discolouration" could be the fact that the plugging
rocess is a seperate screening process, using a stencil screen with only
ias open. Normal PSR is then applied over the top of semi-cured plugged
ias, and process photomechanically. This would account for a thicker
eposition at the via hol area, and also the darker contrast of colour.
icrosection of the via hole would verify the situation....

think you nailed it Inge. All the bad holes are plugged vias. The open
ias are very tightly registered.

Had a brief look in some of our company papers about the second guess. We
bserved a difference between plugged and unplugged vias. The former were
iscolored like yours and it was caused by overtemperature (Leadfree!)
hich degraded the epoxy which bleeded out some stuff that discolerd the
oldermask. What chemistry process, I don't remember.

It may be what we name 'via halo' effects,which is caused by stress.
We do not accept.
It may also be caused by contaminations and/or improper drying.

Is there a higher mag photo of this anomaly. I need to see it, to call

the discoloration is visible on top of the surface copper just right
of
R52 -- this suggests it is a surface condition of the mask or between
the mask and the surface copper and not an internal condition

Charming,
I think you need a micro section and it will reveal bad news. Rudy
may be
right or there may be an internal separation. Is this a multi layer?
I once saw a set of boards on which they spend to much time in the
glass etch and when copper plating the holes the copper wicked up the
glass fibers.

Hi Charming,
I have your picture posted, it's here:

Maybe they weren't cleaned well before solder masking?

Hi Steve,
Would you help post the attached picture for me and forward this
message to TechNet? Thanks a lot.
The picture shows radially discoloration on solder-resist covered via
holes, while, the immersion silver pads without solder-paste reflowing
have shiny appearance with no discoloration. With naked eye checking,
the discoloration on solder-resist covered via holes is not corrosion
product.
BTW, the pcb board surface finish is immersion silver, via holes are
fully pluged with solder resist, and no discoloration is observed
after pcb assembly finished. The discoloration possibly gets start in
PCBA storaging.
Best Regarads
Charming Chan
