How can I determine BGA land pad diameter for given ball diameter?

I'm working on a project which requires the use of a CSP package. The product's datasheet provides ball pitch and ball diameter but nothing about the preferred land pad diameter. How can the pad diameter be worked out from these figures assuming an NSMD land?

You can refer to the following table.

Ball Dia. Reduction Land Pattern Density Level Land Dia. Land Variation
0.15 15% C 0.13 0.15-0.10
0.20 15% C 0.17 0.20-0.14
0.25 20% B 0.20 0.20-0.17
0.30 20% B 0.25 0.25-0.20
0.35 20% B 0.30 0.35-0.25
0.55 25% A 0.40 0.45-0.35

Is it ok to call all the chips with alphanumeric labels BGA (ball grid array)?

Some ICs have their pins labelled only with numerical values and some use alphanumeric labels. I want to know what is the correct naming term for these cases.
Is it ok to call all the chips with alphanumeric labels BGA (ball grid array)? And for chips with only numeric pin labels the chip should be called DIL (dual in line)?
