EXHAUST FOR

HELIUM/CDA
BOMBING TEST
CHAMBER
a project proposal by:

BS ECE 4-1
INTRODUCTION
▹The bombing test is a special leak
test for small and previously
hermetically sealed parts which
contains internal devices. 2

▹To get helium or compressed dry air

(CDA) into these test pieces which are
already tight, a large quantity of parts
are placed into a pressure chamber
and this chamber (bomb) is filled with
helium/CDA to a certain pressure.
INTRODUCTION
▹The test pieces are
being subjected to
fine leak testing and 3

gross leak testing

after they had
undergo bomb
testing.

BACKGROUND
▹Excelitas Technologies Philippines, Inc. performs
leak testing to ensure that the devices (such as
photodetectors) had been sealed properly 5
(hermetically sealed) by fabrication and coating.
The company believes that a loss of hermeticity is
a reliability concern and will allow moisture and
contaminants to enter the package cavity
shortening device lifetime.
BACKGROUND
▹CDA/Helium Bombing Test Chamber is located
along the hallway and beside the Metal Can
(Clean Room) at the third floor of the building of 6
Excelitas Technologies Philippines, Inc.
▹Gross/Fine Leak Tester on the other hand is
located inside the Clean Room.

THE PROBLEM
▹ Helium/CDA bombing test
chamber cannot be placed
inside the clean room
because these gases can 8

produce electrostatic
charges.
▹ Sensitive test pieces may be
contaminated by any
harmful factors (such as dirt)
outside the clean room.

placed inside the cabinet
as shown in the figure at
the right. 1

• The cabinet contains an
exhaust fan that will

PROJECT DESIGN
• The cabinet contains two normally
close switches S1 and S2 connected
in series. Closing the cabinet results in S2
an open circuit condition.
• Opening the two glass panels of the
cabinet untriggers S1 and S2 therefore 1
