Component failure analysis

One step is to examine the cleanliness on and around the failing component. There could be an ionic contaminant causing the shorts.

Hi Peter,

I'm not sure where you're located, but I work for Celestica in our Component Failure Analysis and Reliability Testing Lab in Toronto Ontario Canada. We are an idenpendent lab with full FA component, assembly and PWB capabilities and would be more than happy to discuss your analysis needs. We follow a very methodical step by step problem solving procedure to perform all non-destructive testing, e.g. visual, x-ray, C-SAM, electrical verification followed by the required destructive testing e.g. decapsulation, cross-sectioning, SEM/EDX, etc. etc.

Cheers, Jason
