I created a land pattern for a Micron memory part BGA and I notice that when I change between N, M and L, there is no change in pad size. It is 0.8mm pitch and 0.45mm ball diameter. Also, as was mentioned yesterday, I am curious as to whether the pad size should be the same as the Solder Mask, or whether the Solder Mask should create the pad opening on a larger copper pad... In any case the following table indicates that the pad size should change with N, M and L - what is best to do here?  |

IPC-7351 only supports 1-Tier for all Grid Array package pad size calculations.  The 3-Tier for the BGA only changes the Silkscreen Line Width, Ref Des Height and Local Fiducial sizes for fine pitch BGA's. |
