Soldertec Ultimate Black Top Test
Soldertec Global is offering its 'Ultimate' Black Top Test for detecting blacktopped counterfeit ICs.
The service builds on industry-standard IDEA-STD-1010-A by looking at higher magnification and adding supplementary tests using advanced techniques.
The Ultimate test regime involves 25 different tests and is completed in approximately a day.
The testing enables the laboratory to pick up all signs of prior use and remarking, with many of the techniques supporting each other and reaffirming earlier suspicions.
If a suspect part is found and confirmation is required then the part can be de-capped and the die examined in finer detail.
