Package Integrity IIR (Package Defects)
If a user selects the Package Integrity IIR (Package Defect) link above, a main summary table relating each package type with corresponding visible package defects will be displayed (Table 1). Here, a user has two options to choose from: (1) one of the symbols under a specific package type & defect category or (2) one of general package types (column headers in Table 1). This will eventually lead to corresponding Tables, containing defect identification, classification, and causes. If a user clicks one of the column headers in Table 1, it will lead to the top of the corresponding page. Depending on the symbols, a user clicks a specific defect section of the corresponding page will be displayed.
