Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Applied only to hermetic devices, the fine-leak detectors are used to detect defects in sealing that are too small to be detected by gross-leak. The devices to be tested are placed in a bomb that is then pressurized with a mixture of 90 percent nitrogen and 10 percent krypton 85. Under pressure, the gas will enter the package through any seal defects that are present. The bomb is then evacuated, and the devices "washed" with nitrogen to remove any krypton that may be on their surface. 3, record 4, English, - leak%20detector

Semiconductor chips require encapsulation for protection against the environment in which they must operate. The encapsulation is either in an hermetic or non-hermetic package, depending on environmental or reliability considerations. Sealing boats and accessories are instrumental in the assembly of most hermetic packages. Their primary functions are to align and/or hold in place various packaging components for final seal. 1, record 5, English, - sealing%20boat
