My experience is that the little dimple does or can induce a void in the finished solder joint, but that does not necessarily affect reliability. But I don't like it anyway!

Subject: [TN] Plated shut vias
Hi All,
With new plating systems one can plate a micro via shut but it leaves usually a small dimple of approx.. 13 microns. Have any studies been done on the effect this dimple has on the reliability of BGA's? Thanks. Steve Kelly
