Luca Amato,

We can help. In order to determine what tests, you need to answer the
following two questions:

1.  What is the failure mechanism?
2.  What is the Ni/Au process (ENIG or electrolytic gold)?

That will aid in determining the tests.

Contact me or my colleague, Dr. Brian Toleno, at (610) 362-1200; Ext. 210.
