Bader, "Dissolution of Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Cu, and Ni in a Molten Tin/Lead Solder", Welding Journal 48, pp. 551s - 557s A "classic" data set that many, many investigators still reference.

Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 1:56 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] LEADFREE BGA ISSUE Don't always assume that just because the finish was ENIG, that it was the root cause. It may have contributed to it, but usually there is no one root cause when this happens. Secondly, even when good wetting does take place on ENIG-finished pads, upon removal the pads often appear dull. This is just the nature of the nickel finish. It does not always indicate a solderability problem with the finish. The problem may have been a reflow profile that was not hot enough, with TALT being insufficient to form a good IMF to the nickel base. It is slightly more difficult to achieve this with standard 63/37 solder on nickel than on copper, and appears to be even more difficult with SAC alloy on nickel than on copper. While the temperature is significantly hotter, the SAC alloy does not seem to form a good IMF with nickel as readily as the 63/37 solder does. Werner, the information on the dissolution rate of nickel into a tin alloy from Klein-Wassink's charts are based on pure tin, not a tin/lead alloy. What is the effect on nickel's dissolution rate when the amount of lead in the solder alloy is varied, say from 37% to 0%? -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Colin McVean Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 9:34 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] LEADFREE BGA ISSUE <Certain pads were very dull and when solder is applied on it, it seened there was dewetting issue> Sounds like an issue with the solderability of the ENIG rather than the substrate. Check with your PCB fab supplier for their comments. <By the way, such kind of issue happened only to one customer...> It only takes one instance of poor process control on ENIG to see faults occurring. Looks like this is what has happened in this case. Rgds Colin Colin McVean M.Inst.C.T.

There are total 25 boards for the evaluation purpose. 2. Round 1, we assemble d11 units SAC BGA onto board of ENIG. The result was 10 passed functioonal, 1 piece was not working. There was no signal & power to the BGA unit. 3. Round 2, 4 boards were being assembled, 3 passed, 1 was not working 4. Round 3, 10 boards were biring assembled, 1 was working, 9 not working. The above-stated boards undergo the same temperature profile. At the beginning, we were suspecting the board of ENIG. When 1 BGA was being removed from the failed board, and intend to perform the reballing, we realise the not all BGA substrate pads were able to solder. Certain pads were very dull and when solder is applied on it, it seened there was dewetting issue. My question is, if the failure of the BGA that was due to BGA's substrate or otherwise. By the way, such kind of issue happened only to one customer...
