METHOD 2017.8
INTERNAL VISUAL (HYBRID)
1. PURPOSE
. The purpose of this test is to visually inspect the internal materials, construction, and workmanship of
hybrid, multichip and multichip module microcircuits.
1.1 SCOPE
. This test is for both Class H (Class level B) and Class K (Class level S) quality levels, SAW and
hybrid/multichip/multichip module microcircuits. The following types of microcircuits may be inspected:
a. Passive thin and thick film networks.
b. Active thin and thick film circuits.
c. Multiple circuits, including combinations, stacking or other interconnections of 1.1.a and 1.1.b.
This test will normally be used on microelectronic devices prior to capping or encapsulation on a 100 percent inspection
basis to detect and eliminate devices with internal defects that could lead to device failure in normal application. It may also
be employed on a sampling basis prior to capping to determine the effectiveness of the manufacturers quality control and
handling procedures.
2. APPARATUS
. The apparatus for this test shall include optical equipment capable of the specified magnification(s) and
visual standards/aids (gages, drawings, photographs, etc.) necessary to perform an effective examination and enable the
operator to make objective decisions as to the acceptability of the device being examined. Adequate fixturing shall be
provided for handling devices during examination to promote efficient operation without inflicting damage to the units.
3. PROCEDURE
.
a. General
. The device shall be examined in a suitable sequence of observations within the specified magnification
range to determine compliance with the specified test condition.
b. Sequence of inspection
. The order in which criteria are presented is not a required order of examination and may
be varied at the discretion of the manufacturer. Where obscuring mounting techniques (e.g., beam lead devices,
stacked substrates, components mounting in holes or cutaways, flip chip devices, packaged devices) are
employed, the inspection criteria contained herein that cannot be performed after mounting shall be conducted
prior to mounting the element or substrate. The inspection criteria of 3.1.1 may be performed at the option of the
manufacturer prior to element attachment.
c. Inspection control
. In all cases, examination prior to final preseal inspection shall be performed under the same
quality program that is required at the final preseal inspection station. Care shall be exercised after inspections
(see 3.b), to ensure that defects created during subsequent handling will be detected and rejected at final preseal
inspection. Devices examined to 3.1 criteria shall be inspected and prepared for sealing in a 100,000 (0.5 Hm or
greater) particles/cubic foot controlled environment (class 8 of ISO 14644-1) for Class H (Class level B) and 100
(0.5 Hm or greater) particles/cubic foot controlled environment (class 5 of ISO 14644-1) for Class K (Class level S),
except that the allowable relative humidity shall be less than 65 percent. During the time interval between internal
visual inspection and preparation for sealing, devices shall be stored in a 1000 (0.5 Hm or greater) particles/cubic
foot controlled environment (class 6 of ISO 14644-1). Devices shall be in covered containers when transferred
from one controlled environment to another.
d. Reinspection
. When inspection for product acceptance or quality verification of the visual requirements herein is
conducted subsequent to the manufacturer's successful inspection, the additional inspection may be performed at
any magnification specified by the applicable test condition, unless a specific magnification is required by the
acquisition document. Where sample inspection is used rather than 100 percent reinpsection, the sampling plans
of MIL-PRF-38534 or Appendix A of MIL-PRF-38535 shall apply.

e. Exclusions
. Where conditional exclusions have been allowed, specific instruction as to the location and conditions
for which the exclusion can be applied shall be documented in the assembly inspection drawing.
f. Definitions
.
(1) Active circuit area
includes all areas of functional circuit elements, operating metallization or connected
combinations thereof excluding beam leads.
(2) Add-on substrate
is a supporting structural material into and/or upon which glassivation, metallization and
circuit elements are placed and the entire assembly is in turn placed on, and attached to the main substrate.
(3) Attachment media
is defined as the material used to effect the attachment of an element to an underlying
surface (e.g., adhesive, solder, alloy).
(4) Bonding site
is a metallized area on a substrate or element intended for a wire or ribbon interconnecting bond.
(5) Cold solder joint
is defined as a solder joint whose appearance is "grainy" or "dull". Where a "grainy" or "dull"
appearance is characteristic of certain solder materials (e.g., AuSn, etc.), this criteria shall not be rejectable for
these materials.
(6) Compound bond
is one bond on top of another.
(7) Conductive attach
is the process and materials used for the attachment that also provides an electrical contact
or thermal dissipation path (e.g., solder, eutectic, solder-impregnated epoxy).
(8) Dielectric attach
is the process and materials used for attachment that does not provide electrical contact or
thermal dissipation considerations.
(9) Edge metallization
is the metallization that electrically connects the metallization from the top surface to the
opposite side of the substrate; also called wrap around metallization.
(10) Element
is a constituent of a hybrid microcircuit; such as integral deposited or screened passive elements,
substrates, discrete or integrated electronic parts including dice, chips and other microcomponents; also
mechanical piece parts as cases and covers; all contributing to the operation of a hybrid microcircuit.
(11) Electrically common
is satisfied when two or more conductive surfaces or interconnects are of equal DC
voltage/signal potential.
(12) End terminated or wrap around elements
are those elements which have electrical connections on the ends
(sides) and/or bottom of their bodies.
(13) Foreign material
is defined as any material that is foreign to the microcircuit of any non-foreign material that is
displaced from its original or intended position within the microcircuit package. Conductive foreign material is
defined as any substance that appears opaque under those conditions of lighting and magnification used in
routine visual inspection. Particles shall be considered embedded in glassivation when there is evidence of
color fringing around the periphery of the particle.
(14) Glassivation
is the top layer(s) of transparent insulating material that covers the active area including
metallization, except bonding pads and beam leads. Crazing is the presence of minute cracks in the
glassivation.
