BMP Testing and Calibration Services Inc.
Failure analysis plays a crucial role in product development that enables industries to prevent future product failures and improve them for the end-user. It’s a multi-faceted approach to finding how and why a product failed and involves an in-depth investigation of the circumstances surrounding the failure and discovery of relevant background information, including but not limited to the type of application, environmental factors, service life, and pertinent design information.

Failure Analysis – Materials
Failure analysis – materials is the investigation into the background or history of a sample, or an event, to determine why a particular failure occurred. A product failure may include premature breakage, discoloration or even an unexpected odor. It is useful to know if this failure is a new, unique occurrence or if it has been an ongoing issue. The investigation can involve analyzing the sample as it currently exists and extrapolating from that data what may have caused the failure. A sample of the “good” vs. “bad” product may also be useful for comparison purposes.

Wafer Bonder
AML
Wafer bonding has found many applications in the field of MST, MEMS and micro engineering. These include the fabrication of pressure sensors, accelerometers, micro-pumps and other fluid handling devices. The process is also used for first-order packaging of silicon microstructures to isolate package-induced stresses. The OAI AML Wafer Bonder facilitates both the alignment and bonding to be performed in-situ, in a high vacuum chamber. For anodic bonding the wafers are loaded cold and heated in the process chamber. For high accuracy alignment the wafers are aligned and brought into contact only after the process temperature has been reached, thus avoiding differential thermal expansion effects which can compromise alignment. The AML Wafer Bonder is excellent for anodic bonding, silicon direct and thermal compression bonding applications. These features enable the bonder to be used with virtually any processing tool.
