Delayering testing (also referred to as decapsulation or de-packaging testing) is a detection technique that removes the packaging materials of electronic components (such as plastics, ceramics, or metals) by chemical, physical, or mechanical methods to expose internal structures including the chip, bonding wires, and solder joints.
| Project Overview
Delayering testing (also referred to as decapsulation or de-packaging testing) is a detection technique that removes the packaging materials of electronic components (such as plastics, ceramics, or metals) by chemical, physical, or mechanical methods to expose internal structures including the chip, bonding wires, and solder joints. Its core lies in achieving layer-by-layer removal of the package without damaging the internal devices, thereby enabling microscopic observation or analysis (such as electron microscopy or energy spectrum analysis) of internal defects, process quality, or failure mechanisms. Depending on the type of packaging material, delayering methods can be classified as chemical delayering, physical delayering, or mechanical delayering.
| Test Objective
1. Internal Structure Observation: Expose internal components such as chips, bonding wires, and solder joints to examine bonding quality, chip cracks, foreign particle contamination, and other defects.
2. Failure Analysis: Use delayering to locate failure sources (such as chip breakdown, bond detachment, or solder joint cracking) and assist in tracing root causes.
3. Process Verification: Validate the consistency of packaging processes (such as bonding strength) and assess the impact of new materials or new processes on internal structures.
4. Reverse Engineering: In R&D or competitive product analysis, delayering can be used to obtain information on chip design and packaging structure, thereby supporting product optimization.
5. Reliability Assessment: After environmental testing (such as high-temperature exposure), perform delayering to inspect degradation of internal structures, such as corrosion or delamination.
