Test or be tested.
Too many electronics manufacturers and distributors have no idea that their chamber equipment harbors harmful ionic contaminants.
A Foresite customer was experiencing high levels of chloride and sulfate residues in a droplet pattern. After further examination, we found that chloride residues were building up on the boards due to contaminated tap water dripping down from the chambers. We developed a cleaning program to reclaim the no-clean assemblies. They’re back to distributing their products confidently.
