The Hidden Cost of Quality: The Impact of Pre-Programming on Production Yield and Field Failures for Products using Small Chip Scale Package Devices

Case Study-CSP Device Handling_web-1 mockup

 

Case Study:  

Low Cost programming is not a substitute for high quality

An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) producing of millions of consumer products experiences a high rate of product failures in the field due to improper handling of the 2mm x 3mm CSP ICs during the pre-programming process.

This case study compares the programming results using Data I/O's PSV system vs a low-cost programming vendor.  The study evaluates:

  • Root cause of damaged devices
  • The cost of quality
  • How field failure rates were reduced
