Hermetic Seal Test

Fine and Gross Leak Test
Hermeticity Verification

Hermeticity Testing (also known as Fine and Gross Leak) is used to determine the effectiveness of the seal in microelectronic component packages. If the package seal is damaged or defective, moisture and other contaminants can enter into the package freely and degrade the long-term reliability.
