Errors Made in the Termination Processes Detected by Subsequent Production-Line Tests / Measurements

QUESTION: Can the errors made in the Termination processes be detected by subsequent production-line tests / measurements?

 

ANSWER:

The processes involved in Termination play a CRITICAL role in determining the long-term reliability of the product, and more importantly, errors made in the Termination processes often cannot be detected by subsequent production-line tests / measurements.

Even though effective termination procedures have been developed, an operator error on the production line may very well produce a product that will pass all normal product tests and inspections, but will have dramatically increased chance of future field failure. Thus, robust process controls, though important in any manufacturing stage, are essential in all Termination processes, to ensure maximum product reliability and performance.
