Decapsulation of plastic IC packages in different types and size were performed by wet chemical technique. Studied devices were to use in satellites and going to subject a series of test which require ...

It is a crucial analytical field that is able to enhance the profitability and efficiency of polymeric products and supports research and development applications of polymer materials. In severe cases ...

Two expectations informed end-users have of electric motor service centers are reliable best practice repairs and root cause failure analysis (RCFA) to prevent recurring failures. Service centers ...

Once confined to analyzing returns, it now is shifting left and right as more data analytics are applied to both digital and analog. Failure analysis is rapidly becoming a complex, costly and ...

The first step for semiconductor chips is visual inspection using an optical microscope or electrical measurements. 2 Mechanical probing, electron beams, emission microscopy, liquid crystal, etc., are ...

Each phase of a project has unique failure signature patterns. Just like the bathtub curve in Figure 2, we see more “failures” in the initial design, development and early production “ramp up” phase.

Root cause failure analysis (RCFA) addresses a problem that has appeared in a previously stable environment. Although this technique is most often applied to a production environment, the principles ...
