Does anyone have any data about the dangers of reflowing BGA's twice? I have a customer that is concearned about cracking in the intermetallic layer after the second pass. Thanks in advance.

Hi SMTAnet, SMTnet,

I am pretty sure recently I heard and read a report with them simply reflowed with an improvement in strengths from a slowly degrading strength. I can't find it quick and don't remember all the caveats like maybe an underfill phenonomen.

If you plan to take them off completely and reapply them then I don't believe what I remember applies.

Do some R&D on Flip Chip or BGA.
