BGA soldering is one of the most critical processes in electronics manufacturing today, especially as ボール・グリッド・アレイ (BGA) テクノロジー is poised to continue using higher density chip technology and better performance in a smaller footprint. Working with BGAs comes with their own special challenges, which requires precise techniques and specialized knowledge. この包括的なガイドでは, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about BGA soldering, from basic concepts to complete process involved and BGA reworking.
Ball Grid Array is a distinct surface-mount packaging technology that differs from traditional packages, which typically use perimeter leads. BGAは、パッケージの下部にアレイで配布されているボール形状のリードを備えています. ボールアレイは、金属または合金のボールアレイが格子状に配置されていることから、実際にその名前が付けられています。. This innovative design allows for efficient use of space and better thermal performance, making BGA an ideal choice for modern, high-density circuit board applications.
最初, はんだペーストが塗布されます PCBパッド BGA はんだボールが接触する場所. はんだペーストは通常、正確で再現性のある塗布を保証するために、ステンシルまたはスクリーン印刷プロセスを通じて塗布されます。.
その後, BGA コンポーネントは正確に配置され、PCB 上の所定の位置に一時的に固定されます。. これは、高精度の X-Y モーション制御と光学式アライメント システムを備えたピック アンド プレース装置を使用して行われます。. 適切な位置合わせが重要です.
その後, インクルード PCBA 定義された温度プロファイルでリフローオーブンに送られます. はんだペーストが溶ける, BGA のはんだボールが溶けて PCB パッドと融合する, forming the はんだ接合部. プロファイルは、コンポーネントを損傷することなくはんだをリフローするのに十分な温度でなければなりません.
最後, 冷却後, はんだ接合部が欠陥がなく適切に形成されているか検査されます。. 必要な再作業は、専用の BGA リワーク装置と手順を使用して完了します。.
The size of connection pitches is as small as 0.5mm, making the BGAパッケージ placement a big challenge. Ensuring the precise alignment is crucial as even slight misalignment can result in the connection failure or shorts between adjacent balls. この問題を解決するために,advanced optical alignment systems and automated placement equipment are needed.
The other challenge is in getting the heat evenly throughout the entire component and substrate. Uneven heating can cause PCB warping, incomplete solder melting, or inconsistent joint formation. Developing of the reflow profiles with controlled preheating phase, precise temperature ramping and monitored cooling cycles is required for successful thermal management.
Traditional visual inspection methods are unable to be used for BGA connections as they stay hidden under the package. Advanced inspection techniques are needed to verify assembly quality, その中で, X線検査 is regarded as the most reliable methods that can penetrate the package.
In BGA assembly, the formation of consistent and reliable solder joints is a big challenge. Connection failures can occur with inconsistent solder paste volume, improper wetting, 等々. To address these challenges, comprehensive quality control measures including exact paste application control, optimized stencil design, and well controlled atmospheric conditions of reflow have to be executed.
It’s important to inspect the connections between BGA components and PCBs. Since direct visual observation of solder joints is nearly impossible, multiple inspection methods are employed for comprehensive analysis:
1.電気試験
This testing method allows us to test electric properties of the board. It’s valuable in detecting defects, but cannot determine where they are. It is usually used in conjunction with other inspection techniques.
2. 光学検査
The advanced endoscope technology allows technicians to examine the outer rows of BGA connections. This method can evaluate solder joint shape and surface texture as well as defects, including shorts and debris, and cold solder joints.
3. X線検査
X-ray inspection is the most sophisticated method of which detailed images of the solder patterns from a variety of angles are available. Dense areas like solder joints appear darker, creating a visible grid pattern. It is an excellent technique for detecting はんだブリッジ, popcorning, and over applied areas, but is poor at finding opens.
ボールグリッドアレイの部品に欠陥があることが判明した場合, 取り外して交換するには再加工プロセスが必要です. Below are the key steps involved:
Preheat the PCB: Start by preheating the PCB to prevent thermal shock and reduce the risk of warping.
Apply Controlled Heat: Use a hot air or infrared rework station to carefully heat the BGA component, softening the solder balls.
Remove the BGA Component: Once the solder is softened, gently lift the BGA component from the PCB.
Clean the Pads: Remove residual solder from the PCB pads using a solder wick and flux, ensuring a clean surface for the new component.
Reball or Replace: Prepare a new BGA component with fresh solder balls or use a reballing stencil if reusing the existing component.
Align the Component: Use an alignment tool to accurately position the BGA component onto the cleaned pads.
リフローはんだ付け: Secure the BGA with reflow soldering to establish a strong bond and reliable electrical connections.
Inspect the Joints: Conduct an X-ray or 自動光学検査 (あおい) to verify proper alignment and solder joint quality.
