Failure Analysis Service
Failure analysis is an important process in many branches of manufacturing, such as the electronics, medical or aerospace industries, where it is a vital tool used to determine the cause of a failure in order to keep it from recurring. At SEM Lab, Inc., we provide:
- Failure Analysis of Electronic Devices
- Failure Analysis of Medical Devices
- Failure Analysis of Ceramics and Plastics
- Metallurgical Failure Analysis
Failure Analysis of Electronic Devices
SEM Lab, Inc. provides analysis of integrated circuits (ICs), light emitting diodes (LEDs), printed wiring boards (PWBs), printed circuit boards (PCBs), transistors, inductors, resistors, capacitors, components and assemblies. We also provide analysis of medical devices. For a more detailed description of our electronic component failure analysis service, visit:
Failure Analysis of Metals, Ceramics and Plastics
Examining the fracture surface of a failed part can provide important information regarding the failure mechanism. SEM imaging and microscopy can classify the type of failure as ductile or brittle, for example. It can also yield information about the cause of the fracture such as corrosion, fatigue, etc.
