Whoops ! Now I'm definitely confused ;
I thought (down here it's all upside down) we talk about solder mask
blistering off the copper .
Somehow delamination didn't click with measling ;
so solder mask blisters is different cat of fish .
Therefore delamination is called measling and mask blistering has any other
tags ?

Thanks       paul

Whoops!!  Help me with this one, guys!!   Measling, by definition, occurs
only at the intersection of two fiber bundles within the lamina.
Accordingly, it cannot occur in the same plane as the metal foil of that
laminate layer.   The size of a measle is self limiting by the structure of
the glass (or fiber) bundles.  Further, one measle cannot join with an
adjacent measle or become a running fault in the laminate.

Crazing and delamination, however, can occur in the same plane as the metal
foil, and can become large running or bridging faults.  I've seen numerous
cases of crazing which were misdiagnosed as measling.

Many of the publications, such as WS6536, MIL-STD-2000 and others failed to
recognize this charactaristic about measles vs other internal laminate
faults, leading to a few misconceptions.  I have seen no indication of test
data, other than some specialized high power applications which suggests
that real bona fide measles are a reliability problem.

Regards - Kelly
