1.0 Introduction:
The Plastic Ball Grid Array or PBGA package, qualified and ramped by Texas Instruments Philippines is a cavity­up laminate based substrate package in which the die is attached to the substrate in the norm al die up manner. The wire- bonded device and the complete assembly is then overmolded and solder balls attached to form the package. This package provides a cost-effective packaging solution, offering higher density over traditional leadframe packages. Texas Instruments’ advanced design and simulation capabilities enable package optimizations needed for maximum electrical and thermal performance. The PBGA package is offered in a range of sizes from 17mm x 17mm to 35mm x 35mm, in ball pitch of 0.8mm and 1.0mm, to provide a ball count ranging from 208 to 976 balls. PBGA
ckages are available in 2 and 4 layer substrate designs.

2.0 PC Board Design Guidelines:
The PBGA is compliant with JEDEC MS-034. IPC-SM-782 usually dictates the guidelines by which the PC Board (PCB) pattern should be designed. Working with an Electronics Manufacturing Service provider and/or PCB design house with experience designing and mounting this package type is recommended. The following guidelines are offered based on best known practice at the moment based on Texas Instruments evaluations and research.
Package Height .......... ranges depending on body size, ball size and layer count.
Package Size ............. Ranging from 17mm x 17mm to 35mm x35mm
Ball Pitch .................... 0.8 mm and 1.0mm
The PBGA package is primarily composed of copper laminated BT substrate. This adds stiffness to the package and uniform expansion during board mount and board level temperature cycling. Also, because of cavity up configuration, the solder balls for this package may be placed in a complete array over the entire bottom side. Therefore, balls immediately under the die may be used as thermal paths to further enhance the thermal performance.

2.1 PCB Land Pattern and Solder Mask Design
The solder lands on the package side are always Solder Mask Defined (SMD). The land pattern on the PCB should be designed to correspond with the land pattern on the package. The land on the PCB should be Non-Solder Mask Defined (NSMD) in order to realize the best board level reliability performance.
SOLDER PAD GEOMETRY
For NSMD pads, TI recommends a clearance (typically 3 mils) between the copper pad and solder mask to avoid overlap between the solder joint and solder mask due to mask registration tolerances.
The diameter of the solder ball land on the PCB should be the same or up to 20% less than that of the package
substrate solder land. The trace leading into the NSMD ball land on the PCB should not exceed more than 50% of the land diameter. Again, this is to avoid too much solder wetting this lead-in to the ball thereby creating too much ball collapse and possibly i mpacting board level reliability.

2.2 Escape routing guidelines
A typical PBGA has four or five rows of solder balls around the periphery of the package. The number of lines routed (N) between the pads on the PCB is defined by the pad size and trace (width and spacing) fabrication capabilities of the PCB manufacturer. For NSMD pads, exposure of underlying copper traces is forbidden, so the diameter and tolerance of the solder mask opening define D. The following relationship is used to define N:
Figure 8. P = Pad Pitch
D = Pad Diameter
L = Line Width
S = Line Space
As shown below, 1 mm ball pitch with 4 rows of solder balls can be routed to 4 layers of PCB which uses a 0.125 mm line width and 0.125 mm line space.

3.0 Assembly Recommendations
3.1 PROCESS FLOW & SET-UP RECOMMENDATION
The BGA surface mount assembly process flow includes:
• PCB plating requirements
• Screen printing the solder paste on the PCB
• Monitoring the solder paste volume (uniformity) , preferably using solder paste inspection machine
• Package placement using standard SMT placement equipment
• X-ray inspection prior to reflow to check for placement accuracy and other defects such as solder paste bridging
• Reflow and flux residue cleaning (dependent upon the paste type)
• X-ray inspection after reflow to check for defects such as solder bridging & voids
3.2 PCB PLATING RECOMMENDATIONS
A uniform PCB plating thickness is key for high assembly yield.
• PCB with Organic Solderability Preservative coating (OSP) finish is recommended.
• For PCBs with electroless or immersion gold finish, the gold thickness recommendation is 0.15 μm ±0.05 μm to avoid solder joint embrittlement. For PCBs with Hot Air Solder Leveling (HASL), the surface flatness should be controlled within 28 μm.

SSZA002B – August 2015
3.3
SOLDER PASTE PRINTING
Solder paste deposition by the stencil-printing process involves the transfer of the solder paste through pre-defined apertures with the application of pressure. Stencil parameters such as aperture area ratio and the stencil fabrication method have a significant impact on paste deposition. Inspection of the stencil prior to placement of the BGA package is highly recommended to improve board assembly yields. Aperture size to PCB pad size is typically 1:1 ratio with 0.100 to
0.125 mm thick stencil. Three typical stencil fabrication methods include:
• Chem-etch
• Laser cut
• Electroform (Metal additive processes) Nickel-plated electr o po lis hed ch em-etch or laser cut with tapered aperture walls (5° tapering) is recommended to facilitate paste release.
3.4
PASTE RECOMMENDATIONS
Type 3/4 water soluble or no-clean solder pastes are acceptable.
o 37%Pb-63%Sn eutectic paste for tin-lead process with tin-lead PBGA device o Sn-3%Ag-0.5%Cu lead free paste for lead free process lead free PBGA device
3.5 COMPONENT PLACEMENT
BGA packages are placed using standard pick and place equipment with a placement accuracy of ±0.10 mm. Component pick and place systems are composed of a vision system that recognizes and positions the component and a mechanical system which physically performs the pick and place operation. Two commonly used types of vision systems are: (1) a vision system that locates a package silhouette and (2) a vision system that locates individual bumps on the interconnect pattern. Both methods are valid since the parts align due to self-centering feature of the BGA solder joint during solder reflow. The latter vision system while providing greater accuracy tends to be more expensive and time consuming. BGAs have excellent self-alignment during solder reflow if a minimum of 50% of the ball is aligned with the pad. The 50% accuracy is in both the X and Y direction as determined by the following relation.

SSZA002B – August 2015
3.6 REFLOW
Finally, successful reflow cycles strike a balance among temperature, timing, and length of cycle. Mistiming may lead to excessive fluxing activation, oxidation, excessive voiding, or even damage to the package. Heating the paste too hot, too quickly before it melts can also dry the paste, which leads to poor wetting. Process development is n eeded to optimize reflow profiles for each solder paste/flux combination
The BGA may be assembled using standard IR or IR convection SMT reflow processes. As with other packages, the thermal profile for specific board locations must be determined. The BGA is qualified for up to three reflow cycles at 245° C peak (J-STD-020). The actual temperature used in the reflow oven is a function of:
• Board density
• Board geometries
• Component location on the board
• Size of surrounding components
• Component mass
• Furnace loading
• Board finish
• Solder paste types It is recommended that the temperature profile be validated at the ball location of the BGA as well as several other
locations on the PCB surface.
Solder Ball Collapse To produce the optimum solder joint, it is important to understand the amount of collapse of the solder balls, and the
overall shape of the joint. These are a function of:
The diameter of the package solder ball via.
The volume and type of paste screened onto the PCB.
The diameter of the PCB land.
The board assembly reflow conditions.
The weight of the package.
Controlling the collapse, and thus defining the package standoff, is critical to obtaining the optimum joint reliability. Generally, a larger standoff gives better solder joint fatigue strength, but this should not be achieved by reducing the board land diameter. Reducing the land diameter will increase the standoff, but will also reduce the minimum cross­section area of the joint. This, in turn, wil l increase the maximum shear force at the PCB side of the solder joint. Therefore, a reduction of land diameter will normally result in a worse fatigue life, and should be avoided unless all the consequences are well understood

REPLACEMENT AND REWORK
4.0
Removing BGA packages involves heating the solder joints above the liquidus temperature of the solder and picking the part off the PCB when the solder melts. The quality of rework is controlled by directing thermal energy to solder without over-heating the adjacent components. Heating should occur in an encapsulated, inert, gas-purg ed e nv ironment where the temperature gradients do not exceed ±5° C across the heating zone using a convective bottom side pre­heater to maximize temperature uniformity. If possible, the PCB area should be preheated through the bottom side of the board, to 100°C before heating the BGA to ensure a controlled process. Interchangeable nozzles designed with different geometries will accommodate different applications to direct the airflow path. Once the liquidus temperature is reached, the nozzle vacuum is automatically activated and the component is removed.
4.1
SITE PREPARATION
It is recommended that the reflow profile used to reflow the BGA be as close to the PCB mount profile as possible. Preheat from the bottom side of the board is recommended where possible. Once the liquidus temperature is reached, the solder will reflow and the BGA will self-align.
4.2 COMPONENT PLACEMENT
Most BGA rework stations will have a pick and place feature for accurate placement and alignment. Manual pick and place, with only eyeball alignment, is not recommended. It is difficult to achieve consistent placement accuracy.
4.3 COMPONENT REFLOW
It is recommended that the reflow profile used to reflow the BGA be as close to the PCB mount profile as possible. Preheat from the bottom side of the board is recommended where possible. Once the liquidus temperature is reached, the solder will reflow and the BGA will self-align.
5.0 Reliability
Reliability is one of the first questions designers ask about any new packaging technology. They want to know how well the package will survive handling and assembly operation, and how long it will last on the board. The elements of package reliability and system reliability, while related, focus on different material properties and characteristics and ar e tested by different methods.
Package reliability focuses on materials of construction, thermal flows, material adherence/ delamination issues, resistance to high temperatures, moisture resistance and ball/stitch bond reliability. Thorough engineering of the package is performed to prevent delamination caused by the interaction of the substrate material and the mold compound. TI subjects each PBGA to rigorous qualification testing before the package is released to production.

Frequently Asked Questions
A.1 Package Questions
Q Do the solder balls come off during shipping? A No, this has never been observed. The balls are inspected for coplanarity, diameter, and other
physical properties prior to packing for shipment. Because solder is used during the ball-attachment process, uniformly high ball-attachment strengths ar e de veloped. Also, the ball-attachment strength is monitored frequently in the assembly process to prevent ball loss from vibration and other shipping forces.
Q Is package repair possible? Are tools available? A Yes, some limited package repair is possible, and there are some semiautomatic
M/C tools available. However, TI does not specify the reliability of repaired packages.
A.2 Assembly Questions
Q What alignment accuracy is possible? Alignment accuracy for the package is depend ent upon board-level pad tolerance, placement accuracy, and solder ball position tolerance. Nominal ball position tolerances are specified at ±100 μm. These packages are self-aligning during solder reflow, so final alignment accuracy may be better than placement accuracy.
Q Can the solder joints be inspected after reflow? A No final in-line inspection is necessary. Some customers are achieving satisfactory results during process set-
up with lamographic X-ray techniques.
Q Are there specific recommendations for SMT processing? A SMT processing must match the
recommended reflow profile.
Q Can the boards be repaired? A TI strongly recommends that removed packages be discarded.
Q What size land diameter for these packages should I design on my board? A Land size is the key to board-level reliability, and Texas Instruments strongly
recommends following the design rules included in this document.

Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
