If you’ve ever had to create a Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA), you know how difficult and painstaking a task it can be. But FMEDAs are essential in ensuring that your SoCs ...

In advanced semiconductor manufacturing, even small defects can propagate across high-value wafers, enter high-volume supply chains, and surface months later as reliability failures or security ...

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 ...

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 ...

These developments continue to fuel growing investment into the technology and manufacture of semiconductor devices at both industrial and academic research levels. Improvements in technology, ...

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 ...

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 ...
