He-leaktesting to qualify hermeticity
CSEM SA
CSEM is a privately held, R&D center established in 1984 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. From the beginning, CSEM has been committed to both applied and order-related R&D. This bridge function between economics and science is still a core aspect of the company, and CSEM has continuously adapted its research areas to the needs of industry.

The Helium Leak-testing method is used to check hermeticity of atmospheric pressure (or vacuum) sealed package/modules and even down to chip-on-chip level. This tool can be used also with plastics provided the thickness of the walls are large enough to prevent Helium permeation.
Measurement modes spray test or bombing test
Bombing chamber up to 5Bar available
Helium Leakrate resolution <5*10E-12 (Helium) mBar*L/s
Sample size Any size is possible. Large size usually tested in spray test mode
Custom sample fixture for connecting chips Available to test with miniature o-rings/solder chip-to-chip bonding
Software for measurement data-logging Available
