Failure mode analysis is a standard engineering practice. It means figuring out the basic ways a system can fail, each way being a mode of failure. Once you understand these failure modes, you can do ...

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 ...

When a chip malfunctions it’s the job of the failure analysis engineer to determine how it failed or significantly deviated from its key performance metrics. The cost of failure in the field can be ...

There’s no denying that digital engineering has transformed product development. Simulations accelerate design revisions, promote innovation through cost-efficient design exploration, and allow early ...

Failure analysis labs are becoming more fab-like, offering higher accuracy in locating failures and accelerating time-to-market of new devices. These labs historically have been used for ...

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 ...
