Hi folks! Just got some bare fabs at the back door, and found that the soldermask is mis-registered around the BGA pads. The design is that the pads are supposed to be NSMD pads, but only half the pad is... I think I'm going to return these boards to sender, just checking with you all to see if you would do the same thing... You can see what they look like at: http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com click on Picture Page 2, then look for Mis-registered Mask... Once, just once, I wish I could come into work and not have some sort of problem...but I guess that's why I have a job. Oh well...
