Denise is correct based on the definition of wicking in T-50.

Agree with denise. I didnt think these were reason for rejection, but you need to look at an etched sample to be sure.

I agree a slight etch would make this easier, but from what I can see in the photo the wicking measurement starts where the copper plated around protruding glass and per IPC-600 wicking is measured from the laminate edge so if there is etch back of any kind then you could gain some.
Also per 6012 the combination of etch back and wicking shall not exceed the maximum allowable sum of both of these which also suggests that wicking be measured from the laminate edge and you should ignore protruding glass.
Truly wicking is the capillary action of the copper seeping around the glass not the plating of protruding glass.

Pete,
I agree with Randy. Etch the sample to see where the etchback ends along the foil. IPC-6012C-2010 paragraph 3.6.2.6 and Figure 3-11 explain how to measure the maximum allowable copper beyond the end of the foil.

Hi Pete -
I cannot see the demarcation line on the foil. This needs to be visible to determine how to start the wicking measurement. The wicking measurement is an after etch inspection. The measurement at the end of the wicking (closest to the m in mils) is set correct.
The desmear method(s) is not relevant to the wicking measurement.
Whatever combination of processes that are being used to clean the holes, the wicking maximum limits cannot be exceeded.
The sample needs to be etched to provide insight on why the wicking exceeds the maximum limit. The demarcation lines will provide clues on the drill, desmear, and plating integrity/quality.
One observation is the core material had the wicking failure and the neighboring prepreg dielectric opening does not appear to the same wicking length. Does this observation track true for all the dielectric openings? If this is the case, this may be a material issue from the laminator and/or a press cycle issue. More information would be needed to explore this as a cause for the failure.

Hello All -
This isn't the best picture but it is all I have.
This cross section is being evaluated to IPC 6012 Rev B Class 3A and is being rejected for wicking in excess 2 mils. Is this, in you all's opinion, wicking or is this the effect of plasma etch/resin removal/glass etch and not wicking? How should this be evaluated under B/3A?
How would this be evaluated in 6012 Rev C Class 3A? Could you even evaluate it since this is before etch?
Comments are greatly appreciated. Btw, I'm not trying to save anything.
This panel has already been scrapped out - I have a presentation with my customer and I'd like to offer more opinion than just my own and the board fab.
Thanks,
Pete
