DIVSYS-ICAPE’s fully equipped laboratory offers a complete range of testing services for both bare and assembled printed circuit boards, rework and technical support. Our in-house lab inspects the boards we procure to guarantee an exact match with the design file, while offering standalone Indianapolis PCB Manufacturing services to detect a wide range of manufacturing defects.

PCB Test

PCB Micro-section analysis of the copper and “hole” quality is the most thorough of all of the tests as it allows the examiner to look “inside” the PCB at the quality of the construction, the copper  plating, the hole formation, the dielectric separation (which also defines the AC impedance), the lamination process, and the base copper.  The IPC has defined 42 different “rejectable” defects that can be seen in one micro section.

The Test Includes

Equipment

Measurement of the surface finish thickness (Au, Ni, Ag, HASL, Sn) by X-Ray Fluorescence on 10 positions

Equipment

Automatic test to verify net continuity and the absence of shorts on the board.

Equipment

Mechanical dimension checking.

Equipment

Measure the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PCB

Equipment

Cleanliness Testing is used to measure the amount of ionic contamination left on the surface by the PCB process. A cleanliness tester is filled with a solution of 75% AIPA and 25% DI H20 to dissolve the surface contamination. 

The PCB (Or PCBA) is immersed in the solution. This is a Go / No go test that the PCB or PCBA is clean.

The resulting “dirty” solution is measured and converted to a standard using “Equivalent Micro Grams of Sodium Chloride” which is divided by the surface area of the sample to arrive at an ug/in2 or ug/cm2.  

The IPC acceptance is <10ug/in2 or < 1.65ug/cm2. Standard cleanliness per IPC TM 650 method 2.3.25.

Equipment

Separates the different ions to be able to measure the concentration of each of them.

Ion Chromatography per IPC TM 650 method 2.3.28.

Ion Chromatography (IC) is employed when the sample fails the IPC maximum acceptability or if the customer has defined a maximum concentration of a specific ION. 

For the Ion Chromatograph, there are two types of ions (Anions and Cations).  In PCB fabrication, we are usually only concerned with Anions and hence the measurement standard using equivalent micro grams of chloride.

However, in the no-clean flux of PCBA processing, we also can have Cations.  This requires a different measurement system.  Both types of ions must be measured and noted for a PCBA.

Equipment

Measurement of the surface finish thickness (Au, Ni, Ag, HASL, Sn) by X-Ray Fluorescence on 10 positions

Equipment

Check the integrity of hidden solder connections on the PCBA (such as BGA balls).  The PCB can be checked for the alignment of the layers or for voids in the via holes.

When evaluating the integrity of a solder connection, an X-RAY image is invaluable to be able to see the actual connection in a non-destructive fashion.

The X-RAY image can be viewed at various angles to reveal the amount of “attachment between the PCB pads, the component pins and/or the BGA

Equipment

Examine solder connections on the PCBA or make internal measurements of the PCB’s copper thickness, inner layers, or hole quality.

For solder connections, each location is ground and polished to three depths.
