5 Procedure

The procedure steps of this section are

applicable to both Method A and Method B unless otherwise

indicated.

5.1 Removal of Specimen

Remove the required speci-

men(s) from the product to be tested. Allow sufficient clear-

ance to prevent damage to the area to be examined. Some

commonly used methods include sawing using a jewelers

saw, miniature band saw, diamond saw or abrasive cut-off

wheel; routing using a small milling machine; or punching

using a sharp, hollow die (not recommended for thick or brittle

materials, i.e., polyimide and some modified epoxy resin sys-

tems) (see IPC-MS-810). All samples must maintain required

traceability.

5.2 Preparation of Specimen

Note: Complete any required preconditioning and/or stress

testing prior to mounting.

Note: To determine correct plane of grind for plated struc-

tures with a length of 0.010 inch or less, the diameter of the

structure shall be required for the assessment. For microvias

the diameter of the structure at the capture land layer shall be

provided. For stacked structures where both structures do not

meet center of hole tolerance at the same time, refer to the

performance specification for guidance or AABUS.

5.2.1 Method A

Deburr all edges prior to mounting using

rough grind grit in accordance with Table 5-1 to within

approximately 1.27 mm [0.05 in] of final polish depth. Ensure

that the evaluation edge is parallel to the mounting surface

and the sample maintains perpendicularity as shown in Figure

5-1.

5.2.2 Method B

Remove the specimen from the printed

board or panel such that the tooling pin holes or target PTHs

are not damaged.

5.2.2.1 Inspect Tooling Pin System

Inspect the tooling

pin holes or slots to verify they are not plugged or damaged.

Clear plugged tooling pin holes with a tool that will not change

its dimensional location or enlarge the hole. A drill bit of the

same hole diameter is recommended.

Inspect the tooling pins for foreign material adhering to them.

Clean the pin surface as required. Discard any pins that are

bent or the surface scarred.

5.3 Mounting Metallographic Sample

5.3.1

Clean mount molds and mounting surface and dry

thoroughly. Apply release agent (Optional).

5.3.2

Thoroughly clean the sample using a suitable solvent

such as isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. This is especially important

when flux or oil is present as it may result in poor adhesion of

the potting material causing gaps between the specimen and

the material. These gaps make proper metallographic sample

preparation extremely difficult, if not impossible.

5.3.3 Loading the Specimen

5.3.3.1 Method A

Stand specimen in mount mold, perpen-

dicular to the base using sample supports, clips, or with the

use of double-sided adhesive tape. Keep sample in center of

mount mold.

5.3.3.2 Method B

Load specimen on tooling pins. The pins

align the target PTHs on a common plane. This common

plane assures all the PTHs will grind to the center of the hole

at the same instance.

Push the tooling pins into the tooling holes or slots. The pins

must fit snugly.

5.3.4 Preparing Potting Material

Personal protection is

recommended to prevent skin sensitization. Prepare potting

material to ensure cure temperature does not exceed 93 °C

[200 °F]. Mix by folding the potting material in such a way so

as to minimize air bubbles.

5.3.5 Pouring Potting Material

Fill the mount mold care-

fully with potting material, by pouring from one side to ensure

adhesion to all sample surfaces.

5.3.5.1 Method A

The sample must remain upright while

pouring.

5.3.5.2 Method B

Assure the tooling pins do not shift

position or rise up while pouring and/or curing of the potting

material.

5.3.6 Removal of Vacuum or Pressure for Potting Mate-

rials

While in a liquid state, potting materials may require

vacuum or pressure in order to achieve proper encapsulation.

Remove vacuum or pressure prior to cure to prevent undue

stress on the specimen.

5.3.7 Cure and Mount Removal

Allow specimen to cure

and cool to room temperature before removing hardened

mount from mount mold. The minimum qualities the mount

should exhibit are:

• The potting material is hard and not tacky.

• Minimal bubbles in the potting material.

• No gaps between the potting material and the sample.

• All gaps in structure to be evaluated should be filled with

potting material.

The presence of these deficiencies will result in sample prepa-

ration difficulties, as noted in 5.3.2.

5.3.8 Marking of Specimen

Identify the specimen by a

permanent method (see 4.22). The selected marking system

should remain unaffected by subsequent processing.

5.3.9 Mount Preparation

5.3.9.1 Method A

Remove sharp edges and flatten top

with low grit (240) sand paper.

5.3.9.2 Method B

Remove the excess mounting material

from the exposed ends of pins.

5.4 Grinding and Polishing

The following is a description

of the basic grinding and polishing steps. Other methods may

be required by contract. See Table 5-1 for examples of 2, 3,

4, and 5-step methods for Method A and Table 5-2 and Table

5-3 for Method B.

The minimum qualities the mount shall exhibit are:

1) The grinding and polishing accuracy of the microsection

shall be such that the viewing area of each of the PTHs is

within 10% of the drilled diameter of the hole as shown in

Figure 5-2.

2) Only fine grind scratches apparent on the mount when

viewed at 100X magnification.

3) Little or no gap between the potting material and the

specimen(s).

4) No residual abrasive paper grit material on the mount

surface.

5) The ground surface has only one plane of material removal.

If the mount has several planes of material removal, por-

tions of the sample will not polish since the odd surface

never touches the polishing cloth.

Note: Ultrasonic cleaning is highly recommended, especially

between the finer grinding steps, prior to rough polishing and

between all polishing steps. It is the nature of printed board

specimens, especially those with epoxy base material follow-

ing thermal exposures, to contain voids that can trap grinding

and polishing residues that are not removed during simple

rinsing. Care needs to be exercised not to damage the speci-

men surface with excessive ultrasonic cleaning. Specimen

sample can be placed with the polished surface perpendicu-

lar to the bottom of the vessel. Ultrasonic cleaning for as little

as one minute can damage a polished surface.

5.4.1 Grinding Method A

5.4.1.1 Rough Grinding

Rough grind the mount prior to

the feature intended to be evaluated with abrasive medium.

Wheel speeds of 200 to 300 rpm are generally used during

grinding.

Rotate the specimen 90° between each successive grit size

and grind for two to three times the time it takes to remove

the scratches from the previous step. The scratch removal

can be verified by microscopic inspection between steps. It is

of great importance that the ground surface of the microsec-

tion is in a single plane. The purpose of rotating the microsec-

tion 90° between successive grit sizes is to facilitate

inspection. If scratches are observed to be perpendicular to

those made during the last step performed, it is a good indi-

cation that the surface is not flat and the microsection requires

additional grinding. If the surface of the microsection is not flat

upon completion of the grinding operations, it may not be

possible to remove all of the grinding scratches during fine

grinding.

Caution: Copious water flow must be used to prevent over-

heating, damage to the specimen, and removal of grinding

debris on all grinding steps.

5.4.1.2 Fine Grinding

The final abrasive medium (ANSI

600 grit/P1200 FEPA) should finish at the axial centerline of

the intended feature to be evaluated, such as the plated

structure.

5.4.2 Grinding Method B

5.4.2.1 Tooling Stops

The mount holder has tooling stops

to allow the equipment to grind a set distance. These stops

must be calibrated for each abrasive paper grit to assure that

any scratches from the previous step are removed. See IPC-

MS-810 for a detailed discussion and examples.

5.4.2.2 Grind Pressure

The equipment’s pressure setting

is the direct force on a load cell. To determine the pressure on

each mount, divide the pressure setting by the surface area of

the mounts being processed. See IPC-MS-810 for a detailed

discussion and examples.

The recommended pressure setting for six mounts at 38.1

mm [1.5 in] diameter is 351.5 g/sq. cm (5.0 psi) with the wheel

rotation between 300 - 600 RPM.

5.4.2.3 Other Variables

Recommended variables to be

familiar with are length of time the abrasive paper removes

material efficiently, scratch size the abrasive paper causes on

the specimen(s) surface, and water quality (undissolved par-

ticles that can cause scratches; i.e., calcium deposits).

5.4.2.4 Grind the Mounts

Be liberal with the amount of

water used to promote efficient removal of material by the

abrasive paper. The hardness of the specimen will dictate the

number of rough and fine grind steps needed to reach near

the center of the hole. The rough grind grits ANSI 180-240

(P180 - P240 FEPA) are used to enter the edge of the PTH,

and the fine grind grits ANSI 400-600 (P800-P1200 FEPA) are

used to grind near the center of the hole. The distance to stop

short of the center is determined by the scratch size of the last

grind step used.

A recommended grinding process from which to start devel-

opment is provided in Table 5-2.

5.4.2.5 Clean the Mounts

Clean the mount surface with a

mild hand soap to remove the abrasive grit. This is especially

important when the same mount holder is used for grinding

and polishing. Be careful not to scratch the surfaces to be

evaluated while cleaning.

5.4.3 Polish

The diamond polish media is preferred for

printed boards. Diamond media substantially reduces the risk

of metal smear and rounding. Diamonds provide a sharper

definition of copper surfaces to evaluate for separation of con-

ductive surfaces.
