Failure Analysis

 

Failure Analysis is a methodical engineering investigation of failures to determine the root cause, improve product reliability and reduce costs.   A typical failure process flow proceeds from the most benign to a more destructive approach and can include:

  • Visual inspection
  • Optical imaging
  • Electrical and Mechanical inspection
  • Non-Destructive evaluation
  • Destructive evaluation techniques

Failure analysis is performed at a component level (discrete devices, cable assembles), subassembly level (such as PCBAs), and fully integrated (complete) product level.

Benefits include:

  • Product reliability insights
  • Quality improvements
  • Enhanced risk management and brand protection
  • Minimizing potential product recall costs
  • An understanding of product failure sites, modes and mechanisms
