Subject: [TN] Component Failure analysis

Technet,

What are possible failure analysis (destructive or non-destructive and
what
are the pro/cons) I could conduct on the component level (of an IC) to
determine failure mode/root cause?

We are measuring internal shorts between leads on a SOIC after
soldering.
Troubleshooting has pointed towards that failure is component (not
soldering
process) related. I am looking for an independent lab that can offer
such
service.


Rgds,
Peter
