What Is BGA on a PCB- banner

As technology continues to advance in the electronics industry, packaging remains one of the key success factors determining efficiency and reliability. One example of such technology that received considerable attention in the last few years is the Ball Grid Array (BGA). Aslında, this innovation in packaging has significantly altered the interconnection of components to these printed circuit boards to enable high density and high performance. Here in this guide, we will cover over a brief overview of the BGA technology that includes its benefits and downsides, different types of BGA packages, BGA lehimleme, and Ball Grid Array inspection techniques. Hemen dalalım.

BGA nedir( Top Izgara Dizisi ) bir PCB üzerinde?

A Ball Grid Array is actually a type of surface mount packaging used in the manufacturing of Entegre devreler. Unlike other packages which utilize leads extending from the periphery of the package, BGA uses a grid pattern of solder balls at the underside of the package. These solder balls used as the contact points between the chip and the printed circuit board.

6 Commonly Used BGA Package Types

Commonly Used BGA Package Types

In the market, there are various types of BGA packages used for different applications and requirements. Buraya, we will discuss six commonly used BGA package types:

  1. PBGA(Plastik Top Izgara Dizisi)

In PBGA, the substrate is BT resin/glass laminate, while the packaging material is plastic.The feature of this type of BGA package is that it does not require additional solder to connect the solder balls into the desired package. It is an affordable solution for a number of applications.

  1. Seramik BGA (CBGA)

CBGA is a kind of traditional ball grid array packaging type, which uses multilayer ceramic substrate as the base material. The metal lid is then soldered to the substrate using packaging solder to shield the chip, leads as well as the solder balls. The solder ball of it is mad from eutectic solder material, providing reliable connections between the substrate and the components.

  1. Mikro BGA (uBGA)

Mikro BGA (µBGA) is an advanced Ball Grid Array packaging technology that takes up very little space. It offers much smaller chips; enhanced thermal management and increased density of data. As the name suggest, µBGA is primarily used in compact electronic devices and brings the much-needed enhanced performance in areas of size limitations.

  1. Bant BGA (TBGA)

Bant Topu Izgara Dizisi (TBGA) is the kind of BGA packaging technique which uses the flexible tape instead of the rigid laminate. This can provide for light-weight and thin packaging with high density interconnects along with better thermal/ electrical characteristics.

  1. Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FC-BGA)

In FC-BGA, the integrated circuit is flipped so that it can be soldered onto the circuit board. This type of BGA package offers improved thermal and electrical performance as its solder balls connect to the PCB pedleri direkt olarak.

  1. Paket üzerinde paket (Pop)

In this kind of BGA package, many integrated circuits are stacked together. Each IC has its own ball grid array to enable components integration in a vertical way. It is widely used for applications that space is limited such as mobile devices.

Tür Malzeme Solder Type Ana Özellikler Ortak Uygulamalar

FC-BGA Various Direct to PCB Enhanced thermal and electrical performance High-performance processors, GPU'lar, network processors
Pop Various Multiple BGAs Vertical integration, yerden tasarruf Mobil cihazlar, where space is premium, memory+processor stacks

Advantages and Disadvantages of BGA Technology

Avantajlar

  • Higher Density: Compared with traditional packages, BGAs allows more components be connected even in a small space, which is crucial for modern electronic devices.
  • Improved Thermal Performance: The solder balls are arranged in a particular pattern, making them uniformly share heat, thus reducing the risk of overheating in some areas
  • Reduced Inductance: In BGA, the shorter connect paths can minimize inductance, so as to enhance the signal integrity, which is particularly helpful at high frequencies.
  • Better Reliability: When comparing with the leaded package, BGA provides greater reliability as there are fewer mechanical stresses it should bear during the thermal cycling process.

Dezavantajları

  • Inspection Challenges: It’s more difficult to inspect the quality of BGA’s solder joints as they are located at the underside of the package. Some soldering issues are hard to check only by naked eyes. We have to use specialized techniques like röntgen muayenesi.
  • Repair Complexity: One of the downsides of BGA technique is the repair complexity. It is a time-consuming and costly process that requires professional tools such as BGA rework station.
  • Highly Cautious Assembly: During the BGA soldering process, operators must be very careful to mount the components correctly, any mistake can affect the performance and even lead to poor connection.

How to Solder Ball Grid Array to Circuit Boards?

BGA Soldering

There are several key steps when soldering BGA packages. İlk, we need to clean the PCB board and apply solder flux to the PCB pads. İkinci, place the package in the desired areas of the board accurately. Sonra, the board with the mounted BGA components will undergo yeniden akış lehimleme, where the flux and solder balls would be melted, and when it is cooling, there is a solid connection between the ball grid array and the board. Geçen, we need to conduct BGA inspection to check if there are any soldering issues such as bridges or voids. If any issues are found, we need to repair them by using specialized BGA rework equipment.

Ball Grid Array Inspection Techniques

  • Elektrik Testi

In electrical testing, we need to use specialized equipment such as multimeter and flying probe tester to ascertains parameters including resistance and continuity within BGA components. It discovers problems in connection performance and checks if solder joints are operating correctly.

  • Röntgen Muayenesi

By using x-ray inspection, we can check the internal structure of BGA without damaging the package. It allows us to identify solder joint issues and some hidden problems such as insufficient solder or voiding.

  • Visual or Optical Inspection

The process of visually inspecting includes using magnification tools to look at BGA components and identifies surface troubles, such as misalignment and bridging. The assessment is fast, yet it only covers visible problems.
