For example, the model number of HCPL-0631 produced by AVAGO, the light emitting chip and the light receiving chip are located at the upper and lower positions, and the middle is filled with light guide glue difficult to remove. The dissection method of the plastic-packaged optical coupler is not described in detail in GJB 4027A-2006 and GJB 548B-2005.
At present, the dissection of the plastic package optical coupler generally uses acid to directly corrode the plastic package material and the light guide glue.

Due to the severe damage of the plastic package optocoupler structure, other failure factors are introduced in failure analysis, the failure cannot be accurately positioned, and the failure analysis difficulty is increased; it was not tested for bond strength and shear strength in destructive physical analysis.
Therefore, it is very important to research a proper dissection method of the plastic package optocoupler so as to completely reserve the internal structure (bonding system and bonding system) and the chip, which is very critical to correctly analyzing the failure mechanism of the plastic package optocoupler and giving a correct destructive physical analysis result.
