There's an article in the January issue of Advanced Packaging that suggests using "layout fluid" like they use in machine shops for marking materials.  The article is available on their web site at http://ap.pennnet.com

In my past life we used zyglo prodcut that worked well to detect cracks in and around chip on substrate (hybrid) circuits.  I did a google search and found this contact: www.vobaker.com/ndt/zguide.htm

Fellow TechNetters:

Any beamers out there from Fishkill or Burlington

Back in the days with Big Blue a fluorescence yellow solution was used
to detect BGA interface voiding.   The
solution was detectable under black light.   The sample and solution were
pressurized to accomplish the task.   I
have TRIED to use the Steel Red DYKEM for a similar project with no success.
Can one shared their experience
with void detecting techniques and/or materials.

In advance I will thank you for your timely response in this matter.

Victor G. Hernandez
