Failure analysis

Failure analysis | 22 May, 2003

Hi I uploaded the photos http://hk.photos.yahoo.com/ee02lyk of the failure samples. The chip-cut and pin-hole were found after the manufacturing process. I initially suspect the crack happened during the reflow process.However, our factory analysis does not seems to agree. I need to know the possible root cause of failure.

So, I really hope that you can share your experience

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Initial questions are: * If there information there, is there a way to get the Chinese character set translated? * When did these failures occure?
