Voids in Solder Balls
Is it possible that voids in solder balls can be carried over and stay in the connection during reflow?
T. P.

Typically solder voids will be formed during the reflow process. They are usually acceptable providing they do not exceed 25% of the ball volume and are not located at the ball/part interface or the ball/component interface. A large void in either of these locations can weaken during vibration, thermal or shock testing.
