BENCHMARKING AND QUALIFYING PCB FABRICATORS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE TEST BOARDS

摘要

Benchmarking and qualifying PCB fabricators for semiconductor test boards requires a quantitative, statistically significant approach that otherwise invites unacceptable risk. Standardized test panels provide a sound basis for engaging with the supplier base and participating in continuous improvement plans. Over time, test panel results objectively demonstrate if suppliers are attaining agreed-upon goals. Since the test panels are close representations of the end-product, it is reasonable that measured process capability, quality and reliability improvements directly impact the fabrication of our ATE platform boards, contributing to maximum entitlement of semiconductor device manufacturing.
