Description
Ball Shear Test one of the most commonly performed Quality Control Tests performed on Semiconductor interconnects such as Wire Bonds and Solder Balls, which can be test sheared individually with a precisely manufactured tool that is accurately positioned above the surface of the Device Under Test (DUT).
The precision and position of the Ball Shear Tools critical to ensure accuracy, reliability and repeatability during Shear Testing. Mechanical properties such as shear force and displacement are measured throughout the test.
Features
- Suitable for use in Die Shear Test Equipment from manufacturers such as Royce, Nordson DAGE, XYZ, Rhesca and more
- Available in a wide range of Carbide, HSS and Superalloy materials to suit your application
- Suitable for testing Ductile, Pad Lift, Ball Lift and Interfacial Break failure modes
Benefits
- Application specific designs ensures test consistency by avoiding neighboring bumps
- Ball Shear Tools design thoroughly considers the test site’s geography to ensure the integrity of channels are not affected during testing
- Extended Tool Face designs allows for better test conditions
- Our custom designs are especially beneficial for small and micro geometry testing
