Symptom: No high-side output on customer board return RMA-4219.
Quantity: 2 failed units from date code 2614A.
ATE retest confirmed leakage on HO pin above 2 mA at 12 V. Curve trace showed low impedance to VS.
Decapsulation found EOS damage near the HO bond pad. SEM showed localized metal melt with no bond lift.
Probable electrical overstress during board-level inductive load switching. No fab defect evidence was found.
Retain Unit 2 cross-section samples in FA cabinet shelf B for customer review.

Template FAQ
Common questions about downloading and generating a failure analysis report template.
Q: What is a failure analysis report template?
A: A failure analysis report template is a structured document for document electrical, physical, and root cause analysis for failed devices or assemblies.
Q: Is the failure analysis report template really free?
A: Yes. The failure analysis report template is completely free to download in Word (DOCX), PDF, and Markdown formats. No signup or credit card required to download.
Q: How do I turn a video into a failure Analysis Report?
A: Upload a process walkthrough, training recording, or screen capture to Docsie. The AI analyzes the video and generates a complete failure Analysis Report using this template's structure — every required field auto-filled from the footage.
Q: Can I edit the failure analysis report template after downloading?
A: Yes. The DOCX format opens in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. The Markdown format imports into Notion, Confluence, Docsie, or any markdown editor. Customize fields, add your branding, and adapt to your internal workflow.
