Thermal cycle reliability of 0.8mm pitch BGAs soldered with mixed alloys is worse than controls. No difference in shock reliability was observed. Shrinkage of Pb rich interdendritic eutectic can either directly or indirectly lead to significant void formation. Mixed alloy reliability should not be taken for granted where high reliability is required. Underfill access should be accommodated in designs with mixed alloy joints.
