2. Solder paste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_paste

   The size and shape of the metal particles in the solder paste determines how well the paste will "print". A solder ball is spherical in shape; this helps in reducing surface oxidation and ensures good joint formation with the adjoining particles. Irregular particle sizes are not used, as they tend to clog the stencil, causing printing defects.

3. Head-in-pillow defect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-in-pillow_defect

   In the assembly of integrated circuit packages to printed circuit boards, a head-in-pillow defect (HIP or HNP), also called ball-and-socket, [1] is a failure of the soldering process. For example, in the case of a ball grid array (BGA) package, the pre-deposited solder ball on the package and the solder paste applied to the circuit board may ...

4. Automated optical inspection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_optical_inspection

   Automated optical inspection (AOI) is an automated visual inspection of printed circuit board (PCB) (or LCD, transistor) manufacture where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure (e.g. missing component) and quality defects (e.g. fillet size or shape or component skew). It is commonly used in the ...

5. Pad cratering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pad_cratering

   It is a useful test for all pad geometries and is sensitive to board design and materials. The ball pull test is specifically design for BGA components and has a large sensitivity to the solder alloy and joint formation. The ball shear test is also specified for BGA components and involves shearing the solder balls of the BGA. This test is ...

6. Solder ball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_ball

   The solder balls can be placed manually or by automated equipment, and are held in place with a tacky flux. [2] A coined solder ball is a solder ball subject to coining, i.e., flattening to a shape resembling that of a coin, to increase contact reliability. [3] Ball grid array, chip-scale package, and flip chip packages generally use solder balls.

7. Bead probe technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_probe_technology

   Solder paste is applied to the location and reflowed. During reflow, solder flows and is drawn to the copper trace. Surface tension causes the bead to have a curved surface and rise above the solder mask, where it solidifies into a Bead Probe. The bead will be roughly obround in shape and may be 15-25 mils long. A properly constructed bead is ...
