Construction of a cost-effective failure analysis service network-microelectronic failure analysis service in Japan

摘要

A failure analysis network has been constructed for providing cost-effective failure analysis service. In Japan, physical/chemical analysis service has been provided for long time by professional companies, who offer virtually all types of surface and material analysis. On the other hand, history of real failure analysis service is short, and there had been no professional company directed to it. However, a wide range of the failure analysis services have recently become available through a failure analysis network based on collaboration among professional physical/chemical analysis companies, electrical failure analysis companies, universities with specific technologies, and some companies with special techniques.
