Sorry late to the party have been away from the office - the photos
shown are in dark field and may exaggerate/skews the view of the
condition. Think if we were to see in white light we may be more apt to
see the true wicking and less of the magnification of the glass strands
which is expected when viewed in dark field. Measurement of the wicking
(copper seepage between the glass) in comparison to the copper thickness
along the hole wall seems as it would meet the class 3 requirement. So
basically I do not see anything wrong with this hole. If CAF is a
concern perhaps the design needs to be reviewed to allow for more space
between the hole and feature.

Hi Joey,
Thanks for the input. Your opinion is important.
The thing is that, according to the specification wicking is the
movement of liquid between the fibers. The specification then goes on
the mention copper depositing. So if I call this defect wicking and the
wicking extends to the end of the separation then this violates the
wicking specification. If the wicking stops were the copper ends then
this meets the specification.
I am sure that this is crazing.
Sincerely,
Paul Reid

Hi Paul
I hope all is well.
I would classify this defect as wicking and evaluate for acceptance as
such.
Wicking starts at the drill process and is made worse during chemical
processing.
I have attached the IPC 600 training materials for the wicking defects
and more examples. This is an unacceptable condition.

hi paul, in my opinion, what you have here is an artifact of drilling;
not
a base material or lamination defect, which is how crazing is defined.
this artifact may only be visible in darkfield, normal lighting may not
reveal it.
this artifact is further enhanced if etchback is used. its a wicking
path
that didnt plate up because its too deep.
wicking acceptance criteria is defined for the plated part, not the
invisible path that remains....
this would pass group a (lot conformance), but may not perform well if
caf
tested.

Hi Russ,
I'll try with this email. I think that IPC strips all attachments
however.

Crazing is an externally observable characteristic. If you see crazing
in
a microsection it would fall under laminate defects, such as
delamination,
laminate voids or cracks.
If you have a photo of the condition it might make it easier to comment
on.

Subject: [IPC-600-6012] Crazing
I was just on a conference call where we found crazing (a separation
between glass fibers and the epoxy system), in a microsection. The
fabricator stated that this had to be evaluated looking at a board
macroscopically and could not be evaluated microscopically.
Crazing is called out in IPC-A- 600 in section 2, paragraph 2.3.2 page
18,
which is "Externally Observable Characteristics". In A-600 there is
picture of a microsection showing the defect but it states that a
microsection is not required.
In IPC 6012-2010 crazing is call out in 3.3.2.2, page 12, which states
(I
am paraphrasing), "Crazing shall not violate greater than 50% of the
distance between adjacent conductors..." The document then refers to IPC
A
600.
What is your take on their argument that crazing should not be evaluated
microscopically as per IPC?
