EP3C40F484I7N scratches - EP3C40F484I7N scratches Hello, Could you please tell me if such scratches are a threat to performance? Could they be a sign of reballing or could they have happened during production? We are looking into a possible shipping issue but we are not sure.

Regards, Aiman Replies: Re: EP3C40F484I7N scratches Hi! I have to admit that quite a long time has passed, and we simply took the components in this form, focusing on another discussion, where such traces-scratches were called normal. "these look cosmetic and should not impact functionality" https://community.intel.com/t5/FPGA-Intellectual-Property/Scratches-and-contamination/m-p/1432899#M26660%3Fwapkw=scratches But thank you very much for the reply!
