need another tool to speed up your evaluation without adding failure mechanisms that do not occur in a product's life. Does the information you're bring- ing out get back to the circuit designer? Is there a design for test strategy? Neves: Over the past two years, pri- marily with consortia efforts, we've conducted several studies look- ing at how different stackups of via structures affect reliability, such as, "This one is 50% more reliable than if you do the same thing slightly differently." This type of consortia or company effort that compares designs, processes, and materi- als provides information that goes back to the circuit designer. Also, we see the HATS² test sys- tem being very useful for changes of materials and chemicals and changing your drill or hole clean- ing parameters. The system can tell you very quickly which process or product is better or worse for via structure reliability or robustness. People have been doing that with other test technologies, but you can do the same thing with HATS². You have external needs for reli- ability, but you also have a lot of internal needs for improving your process. If we make this change, does it make your reliability bet- ter or worse? Our system allows " " The system can tell you very quickly which process or product is better or worse for via structure reliability or robustness.
