Hi Ioan - I have recently ran into an plating process issue with immersion
silver - the term being used to describe the anomaly is "trench etch".
This defect is made worst by lead-free soldering processes where copper
dissolution comes into play. Your defect sounds like it could be "trench
etch" but you have ENIG and not immersion silver. Please send Steve a
couple of pictures of your defect and we'll try to sleuth out the root
cause.
Dave

________________________________
Dear Technos,
RoHS assembly, soldered with SAC305 alloy, 0.075" thick 14 layers PCB,
failing after 250 cycles (-20 C to 125 C).
Failure mode is crack between the traces and pad at 3 places. Happens on 2
TH components. Traces are 0.0055" wide, pads are 0.022" in diameter on the
via side or 0.065" on the component side. There is no tear dropping.
Should I bother figuring out if manual soldering of the TH component
fragilizes the trace-pad junction, or this is an obvious case of design
induced failure?
Thanks,
