Discover a PCB Failure Analysis: the Pad Cratering

One of the major failure modes encountered in PCB assembly is Pad cratering. This term is coined to describe a fracture at the pad/resin interface (adhesive failure) or within the resin beneath pads (cohesive failure) that extend along the whole pad length (see the figure) and leads to the complete separation of the pad from the PCB. This failure mode is especially relevant for assembled BGA, CGA and bottom termination components fabricated by lead-free and halogen-free processes and it is related to mechanical stresses experienced in PCB systems.
