Failure Analysis of PWBs

This paper covers common failure modes in PWBs and connects those failures back to board construction quality. The source page specifically identifies Hi-Pot failures, lamination failures, inner layer separation, corrosion failures, PTH copper-plating failures, and conductive anodic filament failures as part of the paper's scope. It also makes a practical point that construction analysis can be used to verify PWB quality before these issues become larger reliability or failure problems. That makes this paper useful both for failure analysis and for front-end quality verification.
