JEDEC JESD35 Failure Analysis of Semiconductor Devices Testing
The JEDEC Standard JESD35 is a comprehensive guide that outlines the methodologies for failure analysis and defect characterization of semiconductor devices. This standard is essential in ensuring quality and reliability, which are critical in industries such as electronics manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications.
This service involves the systematic investigation of failed or suspect semiconductor devices to determine the root cause of their failures. Our laboratory adheres strictly to JESD35 guidelines, employing advanced techniques including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and other cutting-edge analytical tools.
The process begins with thorough documentation of the failure scenario, followed by a detailed inspection of the device under test using non-destructive visual examination methods. Once initial issues are identified, more invasive techniques may be employed to probe deeper into potential defects without compromising the integrity of the device for further analysis or potential re-use.
Our team then proceeds with destructive testing if necessary, which involves dissection and detailed inspection at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. This allows us to identify specific areas where failures occurred, such as interconnects, die structures, solder joints, etc., providing valuable insights for improving future designs or manufacturing processes.
The findings from these analyses are meticulously documented in a comprehensive report that includes not only visual observations but also quantitative data obtained through various analytical techniques. These reports serve multiple purposes including root cause analysis, quality control, product improvement recommendations, and compliance with regulatory requirements such as ISO 9001:2015.
By adhering to JESD35 standards, our laboratory ensures high levels of accuracy and reliability in diagnosing failures within semiconductor devices. This not only helps clients understand the exact nature of their problems but also facilitates informed decision-making regarding corrective actions needed for addressing these issues effectively.
