An Infra-red led emitter is inspected by scanning acoustic microscopy. Probe frequency is adapted to the characteristics of the system. In this case, considering the large thickness of the package a 50 MHz transducer is used. Our phase inversion algorithm identifies and highlights the delaminated areas. In addition, A-scan inspection is used to confirm these findings.

Report prepared by Alexander Teverovsky, ASRC Federal Space and Defense. NASA recently released an extensive 70pages report on low voltage MLCC cracking issues published on nepp.nasa.gov. The report in detail describes the manufacturing process of MLCC types, provide comparative analyses of MIL, NASA vs ESA vs JAXA specifications, explains qualification procedures and cracking risk issues including degradation and failure mechanisms. The final section recommends methods for workmanship and failure detection.

Some specific user requirements cannot be fulfilled by QPL parts (scientific missions). In these situations, plastic encapsulated COTSs are investigated. We comply with the applicable specification so that in this case they comply with the applicable specification. If the plastic encapsulated COTS with the required functionality does not meet the rejection criteria of conventional test methods, Alter Technology, with internal criteria for the assessment of plastic encapsulated COTSs, and the final user agree on a set of new rejection criteria for lot acceptance by considering the actual working conditions plus additional validation test flow based on the expected use.
