Hermetic Evaluation: The integrity of a component package is evaluated by immersing the device under test in a heated liquid Gross Leakage Test and observing bubbles; or, by immersing in a fluorescent dye (Zyglo) under a vacuum and observing the penetration. In the photo below, the bright green area is where fluorescent dye (Zyglo) has penetrated into the component package and indicates an increased risk of ingress of contamination and resulting component failure.
