2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides illustrations of radiographs ofsemiconductors and related devices. Low powered transistor

3、s(through the TO-11 case configuration), diodes, low-powerrectifiers, power devices, and integrated circuits are illustratedwith common assembly features. Particular areas of construc-tion are featured for these devices detailing critical points ofdesign or assembly.1.2 This standard does not purpor

4、t to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Theyprovide reference points and information on the critical areasof such devices. These points must be clearly resolved in theradiographs being interpret

9、ed. The radiographs to be inter-preted must comply with the requirements of Practice E801 toensure suitable image quality with minimal distortion. Addi-tional information on the application of radiographic tech-niques to semiconductors and electronic components may befound in Test Method E1161.5.2 T
