I know the latest pictures are boring, but gosh folks I've had no response. I know this forum now is mostly assembly oriented but are there any semiconductor experts out there? I'll take wild ass guesses, as always, and solid input concerning why my die are "bent" and what that may do to performance or failure. Does anyone know a semiconductor expert? Where do they all reside, in semiconductor habitats? I don't want to take the minor evidence gathered so far to the part manufacturer as I really want to find something related to failure mode before that. Finally, does anyone out there own one of those 8,000 pound HP laminographic xray things? You know, a 5dx? If so, would you like to run a couple of my devices on it? Right now I have pretty good transmissive images, but we could do better with laminography. I appreciate your time as always, MoonMan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
