BGA Pad and Solder Mask Repair

Repair of damaged solder mask at BGA sites.

Repair of damaged solder mask between BGA pads and connecting vias is a critical step to prevent solder from flowing down the vias during BGA replacement. (See illustration)

Damaged or missing BGA pads are replaced by following an IPC recommended procedure BGA Pad Repair Procedure. This procedure uses specially fabricated adhesive backed BGA pads that are thermally bonded to the board surface.

BGA Site Modification

We can rework a BGA site to change the conductor routing.

When your design requires a changes or modification at a BGA site, using a standard jumper wire is normally not an option. Jumper wires are simply to large to fit under a BGA component. This ingenious modification procedure uses flat copper ribbon thin enough to fit safely under the BGA component.

For more on this IPC recommended procedure see Jumper Wires, BGA Components.

X-ray Inspection

X-ray services for BGA component and site inspection is completed on every board we process to ensure the highest quality level. We use a Nicolet X-ray system to inspect every BGA reworked. This system will pin point defects including solder joint shorts, opens, and voids.

This X-ray image reveals a range of solder joint defects.
