The Lab, which is located in Room 18 of the Solld State Devices· Building, is manned primarily by Joe Arisman and Paul Mikonis for the Engineering Department. Most failures that come to the attention of this group are found on printed circuit boards or within epoxy encapsulated modules. About 85 percent of the failures e:ramined involve semiconductors of the types used in the guidance sections of missiles, as components in radar assemblies and in telemetering packages. The nonna! procedure in deter- mining the cause of such failures is to troubleshoot the circuit and isolate the defective component. After the defective part has been isolated and removed from the circuit, it is put through a series of non-destructive tests. These in- clude external low power microscopic inspection, X-ray and a series of low-level electrical tests. The failure mode is then determined and a decision reached on whether it is a parameter or catastrophic failure.
