Factors Influencing BGA Soldering Quality
The emergence of Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging, with solder balls replacing pins, revolutionizes electronic assembly, offering versatility and overcoming limitations of traditional packages like Quad Flat Packages (QFP), leading to derivative packages like Chip Scale Packaging (CSP). BGA assembly involves considerations such as pad design, solder paste printing, alignment accuracy, temperature profile, and defect prevention. Prioritizing CAD tracking feasibility and PCB manufacturability, BGA pad design aims to minimize soldering defects and accommodate future rework, with types like dog-bone pads requiring careful sizing to avoid manufacturing issues like solder bridging.
