Through systematic analysis, the testing of plastic encapsulated devices shifts reliability control from "remedial measures" to "preventive measures". It has irreplaceable value in ensuring product quality, reducing risk costs, and promoting technological progress. It is the core link of quality management in the high-end manufacturing field.
| Overview of Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA)
Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA) refers to a comprehensive process of inspections and analyses, both non-destructive and destructive, conducted on samples taken from production lots of electronic components. The purpose is to verify whether the design, structure, materials, and manufacturing quality of the components meet their intended use or relevant specification requirements.
DPA analysis technology can proactively identify potential defects in materials, processes, and other aspects of components. Although the precise timing of failures caused by such defects cannot be predicted, the consequences they may trigger are often severe.
| Test Objective
1. It is carried out with the objective of preventing failures, ensuring that components with obvious or latent defects are not installed and used.
2. To identify deviations and process defects that may exist during the design and manufacturing of components.
3. To evaluate and validate the quality of components supplied by vendors.
4. To provide recommendations for batch processing and propose corrective measures.
| Service Products / Fields
1. Applicable in fields with high reliability requirements, such as aviation, aerospace, and automotive electronics.
2. For components classified as key or critical parts in electronic products.
3. For components that are used in large quantities.
