Failure
Analysis

Independent investigation of component, assembly, and system failures to identify failure mechanisms and contributing factors.

Engineering Services

Engineering analysis supporting root cause determination, materials characterization, and corrective action development.

Root Cause
Analysis

Structured root cause analysis to determine why failures occurred and define practical, defensible corrective actions.

Counterfeit
Analysis

Counterfeit analysis for ICs and electronic components. Verify authenticity with inspection and verification testing, plus documentation to support decisions.

  • What X-Ray Inspection Can and Cannot Tell You in Electronic Failure Analysis
    Learn what X-ray inspection can reveal in electronic failure analysis, where it falls short, and when to combine it with other analytical methods. When an electronic component or assembly fails, one of the first questions is how much can be learned without cutting into the part or otherwise altering the evidence. X-ray inspection is often …

  • How to Read a Failure Analysis Report Without a Materials Science Background
    Failure analysis reports often contain dense terminology, unfamiliar test methods, and highly technical conclusions. For readers without a materials science or semiconductor background, this can make it difficult to extract the most important information—or to know which findings actually matter. This guide explains how to read a failure analysis report effectively, focusing on what to …

  • Five Early Indicators That a Failure Is Process-Induced, Not Design-Related
    When a component fails, the first instinct is often to question the design. While design flaws do occur, many failures originate earlier or later in the lifecycle—during manufacturing, assembly, handling, or test. Identifying process-induced failures early helps teams avoid misdirected redesign efforts and focus corrective action where it will be most effective. Recognizing these indicators …
