David,

   Thanks for the vote of confidence.   I like to see and review all possible ROUND ROBINS DATA when it comes to IMC formation thicknesses.

Victor,

Subject: Re: [TN] BGA Reworked Intermetallic

Hi Vlad - what data do you have that 10 micron thick layer of IMC results in the failure of the BGA? There is TONS of subjective comments in the published literature but no hard data of failures. As a basic materials engineering principle, IMCs are brittle but that specific material characteristic seems to be the only reason folks make statements that a "thick" IMC is bad. Should we work to keep IMC layers minimized? Absolutely but I don't believe, as technologists, we should keep propagating the myth about thick IMC layers without having published, reviewable data.
