    TDR (100–4000 MHz), AOI 25 µm, 5 µm AXI, and ROSE ≤1.56 µg/cm² are embedded in the traveler. Deviations auto-trigger 8D actions and re-measurements before release.

Quality Programs

Structured controls and documentation keep projects compliant and auditable.

Statistical Process Control

  • Drilling, lamination, plating, and imaging CTQs run with Cp/Cpk ≥1.33; 3σ boundary hits notify factory engineering within two hours for corrective action.
  • Dashboards log hole diameter, copper thickness, mask shift, and ΔR sampling every 30 panels so PPAP traceability is always within a single barcode scan.

Lot Documentation

  • Travelers capture prebake, lamination, AOI, AXI, and FAI checkpoints with <15 min spacing. Audit retrieval stays under 60 seconds per lot using serialized IDs.
  • Release reports bundle TDR traces, ionic cleanliness (≤1.56 / ≤0.78 µg/cm²), and microsection photos up to 1,000× magnification, plus 8D close-out notes when trends shift.

Compliance & Certifications

  • Workmanship follows IPC-A-600/6012 Class 3 alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, IATF 16949, AS9100, UL, and RoHS/REACH credentials refreshed quarterly.
  • PPAP, FAI, certificates of conformance, and material declarations ship in PDF/XML formats, and change notices issue ≥30 days before AVL or process updates.

Lab & Instrumentation

In-house equipment keeps inspection, test, and cleanliness loops tight.

X-Ray AXI

130 kV 3D AXI resolves 5 µm voxels to validate copper fill, VIPPO voids (<5%), and BGA voiding (≤20% area) with SPC on depth maps.

Flying Probe & ICT

Flying probe exercises 100% nets at up to 500 V isolation and ≤20 mΩ continuity; ICT fixtures re-qualify every 250 cycles and maintain >99.8% first-pass yield.

TDR / VNA Lab

Calibrated TDR plus 40 GHz VNA correlate coupons within ±5% impedance, documenting 100–4000 MHz sweeps and <2 ps differential skew.

Ion Chromatography

Ion chromatography samples each lot with 0.05 µg/cm² detection limits, holding Class 2 at ≤1.56 µg/cm² and Class 3 at ≤0.78 µg/cm².

Program Readiness

We map material availability, documentation, and downstream handoffs before the first panel starts.

Front-End Intake

  • Material AVL tagged with lead times, resin content, and Dk/Df ranges for sub-24-hour RFQ support. Alerts fire when inventory drops below two-week safety stock on key laminates.
  • Design package checklist covers Gerbers/ODB++, IPC-2581, controlled impedance notes, and stackup targets. Missing items such as 01005 pad data or blind-via specs trigger redlines within 12 hours.
  • Early risk review references IPC-4761 via protection and IPC-2221 creepage rules for safety-critical builds. Findings quantify clearance shortfalls in 0.05 mm steps so mitigations remain traceable.

Factory Launch Controls

  • Control plan ties drilling, lamination, plating, and imaging CTQs to AIAG-VDA PFMEA severity rankings. Sampling frequency is documented in panels-per-lot with escalation thresholds set ahead of launch.
  • Qualification run includes microsection, ionic cleanliness, and TDR coupons with baseline data stored for audits. ΔR results must stay within ±5% and cleanliness ≤1.56 µg/cm² before green light.
  • SPC dashboards monitor hole diameter, copper thickness, and solder mask alignment with Cp/Cpk alerts to factory engineering. When Cp drops below 1.33, MES issues corrective tasks and locks shipments.

Downstream Coordination

  • PCBA readiness bundle locks stencil thickness, fiducials, and paste window per IPC-7525 before SMT kickoff. Stencil thickness options are documented in 0.02 mm increments to match component mix.
  • DFT review aligns flying probe, ICT, and boundary scan requirements so fixtures can be commissioned in parallel. Coverage metrics verify ≥95% nodal contact before production approval.
  • Logistics plan documents serialization, packing, and ESD handling per IEC 61340 for shipment readiness. Packaging torque and label checks complete within 8 hours of final QA sign-off.
