COUNTERFEIT ELECTRONIC PARTS MITIGATION & AVOIDANCE POLICY

Semiqor operates under a strict zero-tolerance mandate against fraudulent, remarked, cloned, and non-conforming electronic components. This policy establishes our comprehensive counterfeit avoidance, multi-point laboratory detection, and permanent quarantine protocols for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability systems.

SECTION 01 // CORE MANDATE MANDATORY

Zero-Tolerance Counterfeit Elimination Policy

Semiqor Semiconductor LLC maintains an unwavering zero-tolerance policy regarding suspect, fraudulent, and counterfeit electronic parts. In mission-critical aerospace, defense, and industrial electronics, component failure jeopardizes human safety and national defense readiness.

We define suspect and counterfeit material in strict alignment with SAE AS6081 Section 3: an unauthorized copy, an imitation, a substitute, or a modified part (including used parts remarked, sanded, or re-packaged to misrepresent date codes, temperature grades, or performance specifications). Every component shipped by Semiqor must undergo certified laboratory verification through accredited AS6081 testing facilities and quality intake at our Houston facility (3100 Wilcrest Dr, Suite 253 B, Houston TX 77042) prior to customer release.

SECTION 02 // SOURCING VETTING AUDITED NETWORK

Audited Procurement & Chain-of-Custody Control

To prevent contaminated stock from entering our intake stream, Semiqor enforces stringent supplier qualification criteria:

  • Tiered Supplier Rating System: Suppliers are scored continuously based on traceability records, historical quality metrics, and GIDEP risk databases.
  • Zero Open-Market Anonymous Sourcing: We reject material from unverified brokers, consumer auction platforms, and entities unable to verify commercial origin.
  • Tamper-Evident Packaging Verification: Incoming lots must arrive in undamaged, manufacturer-compliant packaging with intact moisture barrier bags (MBB) and desiccant per J-STD-033.
SECTION 03 // LAB VERIFICATION AS6081 / AS6171

Mandatory Forensic Laboratory Inspection Protocol

Regardless of source documentation, all incoming lots undergo multi-tier testing through certified AS6081 and ISO 17025 accredited partner laboratories:

// Visual & Microscopy

High-power optical microscopy inspecting package texture, pin pitch, mold markings, sanding marks, and lead finish per IDEA-STD-1010-B.

// Radiographic X-Ray

Real-time non-destructive X-ray inspection confirming internal die placement, wire bonding uniformity, and absence of lead-frame voids.

// Heated Chemical Testing

Thermal solvent swabs (Acetone / 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) exposing blacktopping coatings and remarked secondary laser etchings.

// XRF RoHS Spectrometry

X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy verifying lead (Sn/Pb) alloy chemistry against OEM datasheets to prevent RoHS non-compliance.

// Acid Decapsulation

Destructive sample etching exposing the silicon die under metallurgical microscopes to confirm genuine manufacturer mask trademarks.

// Parametric Electrical

Pin-to-pin curve tracing validating I-V diode characteristics, ESD protection integrity, and absence of catastrophic pin leakage.

SECTION 04 // DISPOSITION SECURE VAULT

Quarantine Vault & GIDEP Reporting Protocols

In the event that an incoming component lot exhibits non-conformance, evidence of blacktopping, or counterfeit markers, Semiqor executes strict quarantine procedures:

IMMEDIATE MATERIAL CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL

Suspect material is immediately locked in our segregated Houston quarantine vault. Under no circumstances is suspect or counterfeit material returned to the vendor or released into the open market. Returning counterfeit parts allows fraudulent brokers to re-sell them to other defense contractors.

  • GIDEP Notification: A formal Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) alert is submitted to warn DoD agencies and commercial defense primes.
  • Law Enforcement Referral: In cases of deliberate criminal remarking or counterfeiting, formal referrals are made to the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
  • Supplier Blacklisting: The supplying vendor is permanently barred from our approved supplier registry.
SECTION 05 // PERSONNEL CERTIFIED STAFF

Inspector Training & Recertification

All quality assurance personnel and laboratory technicians stationed at our Houston headquarters undergo continuous professional training. Inspectors hold certifications in IDEA-STD-1010-B component authentication, IPC-A-610 inspection standards, and ESD control per ANSI/ESD S20.20, with annual competency testing.

SECTION 06 // AUDIT ARCHIVE 10-YEAR RETENTION

Record Retention & Digital Traceability

Every inspection dossier, X-ray micrograph, decapsulation photo, and Certificate of Conformance (CoC) is archived in secure digital format with tamper-evident audit records. Records are retained for a minimum of 10 years to support defense aerospace program audits, DoD inquiries, and long-term reliability tracking.
