Quality Assurance Articles
Supplier Corrective Actions: Close Component SCARs with Evidence
Build component supplier SCARs around lot containment, occurrence and escape causes, verified corrections and a defined effectiveness window.
IC Decapsulation Services: Define Die Inspection and Its Limits
Specify IC decapsulation services by target feature, preparation method, reference evidence and sample disposition; understand what die inspection cannot prove.
Buying Component Testing Services: Limits, Uncertainty and Decision Rules
Buy component testing services with defined conditions, measurement uncertainty, acceptance limits and a decision rule that makes laboratory quotations comparable.
Acoustic Microscopy for ICs: Specify Delamination Screening
Specify acoustic microscopy for IC packages with defined interfaces, scan orientation, depth gates, reference criteria and post-scan handling requirements.
XRF Testing for Electronic Components: Scope a Useful Screening Report
Buy XRF component screening with a defined material, measurement location, method, detection limit and report scope, without confusing elemental results with full compliance.
X-Ray Inspection of Electronic Components: What Buyers Can Verify
Specify X-ray inspection of electronic components with reference selection, internal-feature checks, sample identity, dose controls and clear limits on authenticity claims.
Solderability Testing for Aged Components: Choose a Method That Matches Assembly
Assess aged electronic components with risk-based visual inspection, dip-and-look, wetting balance, or process simulation tied to finish, package, flux, and assembly.
Incoming Inspection Sampling: Set Lot Acceptance by Defect Risk
Design incoming acceptance sampling for electronic components by defining lots, defect classes, inspection units, sample plans, escalation rules, and supplier feedback.
MSL Floor-Life Recovery: Baking, Dry Packing, and Exposure Records
Recover moisture-sensitive components after floor-life exposure by checking package limits, carrier temperature, bake conditions, handling, dry packing, and traceability.
IC Top-Marking Identification: Recover the Full Ordering Code Safely
Identify an IC from its package marking by separating device code, date and lot codes, checking package dimensions, querying the manufacturer, and reconciling labels.
