Ouch,

The delamination is in the X and Y axis.

Unfortunately, there are connections in the vias in Z avis, so a
de-lamination propagating in XY will cause stress in Z and potentially break
the interconnect path.

Hi TechNetters,

Let me ask a question; I know delamination is bad, but why?  What is the
failure mode to the board when a board delaminates and would there ever
be an instance that a board that delaminates is still OK to use?  This
is a Class 3 application.  Yes, I know what the IPC standards say but
not real sure about the board process.  Yes, I "googled" and there is a
lot of stuff out there.  Maybe someone can recommend some reading
material (hopefully short and sweet and to the point).

Thanks!
Helena
