About HQICKEY - High-Reliability Semiconductor Solutions Provider

About HQICKEY

HQICKEY is a leading provider of high-reliability semiconductor solutions, dedicated to serving critical industries including aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications sectors with premium-quality components and exceptional service. As a trusted spot stock distributor, we help businesses resolve critical component shortages and swiftly restore production lines. We maintain a 3,000-square-meter on-site inventory warehouse with over 300,000 in-stock chips available for immediate delivery. We provide worldwide shipping, with the fastest delivery arriving within 2–5 working days.

Why can HQICKEY ensure that every chip is 100% original and genuine?

We have our own laboratories and cooperate with third-party testing chip companies（whitehorselabs.com/iciqc.com）.

  1. Commissioning and sample preparation (early communication)
    • The customer provides the chip model, batch, quantity, and concerns (such as suspected refurbishment, counterfeiting, failure).
    • The company can collect the goods or deliver samples on site.
    • Develop testing plans (select project portfolios), quote prices, and sign agreements.
    • Provide "gold samples" (known to be genuine) for comparison (optional, but recommended).
  2. Routine inspection process (non-destructive priority)

    In most cases, non-destructive testing is performed in the following order, followed by destructive testing to preserve the sample as much as possible:

    • External Visual Inspection: The most basic and first project. Use a microscope or magnifying equipment to check:
      • Packaging (labels, outer packaging, tape integrity).
      • Encapsulation (scratched, dirty, damaged, not filled, spilled).
      • Printing (whether the model, date code, manufacturer's logo, and location of the silk screen printing are correct; whether there are typos, blurring, secondary coating, and re-marking).
      • Pins/pins (bending, oxidation, re-alignment, ball planting, coplanarity, spacing, etc.).
      Auxiliary method: physical scraping or chemical wiping to verify whether the surface is re-coated.
      Objective: To quickly screen for signs of refurbishment/high imitation.
    • X-RAY perspective (non-destructive): Use X-ray equipment to penetrate the chip and image and observe the internal structure.
      • Inspection content: pin frame, wafer size, gold wire binding (wire arc), voids, cracks, ESD damage, solder ball integrity, etc.
      • Can be compared with gold samples.
      • Note: Chips with thick metal sheets on the surface may not be effectively detected.
      Objective: To verify the quality and authenticity of the internal package without damaging the sample.Example: X-ray displays the internal voids and structures of a chip, often used to compare the lead frame with the grain attachment.
    • Electrical performance testing / functional testing: According to the official specification, use equipment such as semiconductor characteristic graphers. Test whether the open/short circuit of the pin, DC parameters and basic functions are normal.
      Objective: To confirm whether the chip is electrically damaged or malfunctioning.
    • Solderability Test: Simulate actual welding and check the tin-eating ability of the pin (wettability). Especially suitable for old stock chips that have been stored for a long time.
      Objective: To evaluate welding quality risks.Example: Solder joint/pin wetting comparison, qualified vs unqualified such as cold welding, insufficient wetting.
    • RoHS testing: Detect whether lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and other harmful substances exceed the standard.
      Purpose: Environmental compliance verification (split material or whole piece testing).
    • Ultrasound testing (SAT/C-SAM, non-destructive): Use ultrasound to scan for internal acoustic impedance differences. Detect packaging defects such as delamination, cracks, voids, delamination, etc.
      Objective: To uncover hidden internal structural problems.Example: C-SAM scans images showing delamination (highlighted in red), cracks, and other defects
  3. Destructive testing (requires customer confirmation, usually after non-destructive testing)
    • Decapsulation test: Use laser etching + acid reagent (chemical etching) to remove the external epoxy encapsulation. Combined with a metallographic microscope to observe the interior:
      • Whether the wafer structure, size, lettering and logo are the same as the original.
      • Whether there is EOS/ESD breakdown, internal damage.
      Objective: The most direct authenticity verification and failure mechanism analysis (which is destructive and the sample cannot be recovered).Example: The internal structure of the chip exposed after opening the lid, clearly displaying the grain and layout.
    • Failure Analysis: Combine the above items with further physical/chemical analysis to determine the cause of failure (e.g. short circuit, parameter drift, etc.).
  4. Data analytics and report output
    • Engineers compare big data, anti-counterfeiting information and gold samples to comprehensively determine authenticity/quality.
    • Generate professional inspection reports (including photos, data, and conclusions), such as appearance reports, X-RAY reports, and open-lid reports.
    • Fast feedback on some projects (e.g. appearance + X-RAY can produce faster results).
    • Provide recommendations: whether it can be purchased/used, or further analyzed.
  5. After-sales and feedback
    • Report interpretation and question answering.
    • Data integration companies test big data for future optimization.
    • Support batch testing or long-term cooperation.
