JEDEC JESD22-A129 System-Level Failure Analysis Testing
The JEDEC JESD22-A129 standard is a comprehensive failure analysis procedure used to identify the root cause of system-level failures in electronic components. This service focuses on providing detailed and actionable insights into the defects and issues that lead to such malfunctions, ensuring that manufacturers can improve product reliability and quality.
The process involves advanced techniques like thermography, cross-sectioning, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and focused ion beam (FIB) analysis. By breaking down the system at various stages of failure, we pinpoint specific defects or design flaws that contribute to overall performance degradation. This enables clients to make informed decisions about product redesigns, material substitutions, or process improvements.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to JESD22-A129 guidelines to ensure that all tests are conducted under controlled conditions and using industry-standard methodologies. We employ state-of-the-art equipment tailored for this purpose, including high-resolution imaging systems capable of capturing minute details within complex assemblies.
The significance of thorough failure analysis cannot be overstated in today’s technology-driven world where even small deviations from expected behavior can have cascading effects on larger systems. By leveraging our expertise in this area, we help companies maintain their competitive edge by delivering robust solutions that meet stringent quality standards.

Use Cases and Application Examples
The JESD22-A129 System-Level Failure Analysis Testing is particularly useful in scenarios where failures are suspected to originate from interactions between multiple components within a single system. Here are some real-world applications:
Investigating discrepancies observed during production line testing.
Identifying latent defects that may not manifest until after deployment.
Determining whether design changes have effectively addressed previously reported issues.
Through these analyses, we provide critical information necessary for decision-making processes related to product lifecycle management. Whether you're dealing with prototype evaluation or full-scale production diagnostics, our services offer valuable insights into the inner workings of complex systems.
