Research that moves semiconductor reliability forward

Process development, reliability studies, new test methods and AI-driven analytics — turning test data into insight and insight into better products.

Overview

New technologies — wide-bandgap power devices, advanced packages, automotive-grade sensors — bring new failure mechanisms that existing methods don't always capture. Our research and development work helps clients and partners understand those mechanisms and build the methods to test for them.

Focus areas

Process development

Developing and optimising assembly and test processes for yield and reliability.

Reliability studies

Investigations of failure mechanisms, acceleration factors and lifetime models for new technologies.

New test-method development

Designing and validating test methods where standard procedures fall short.

AI-based semiconductor analytics

Machine-learning models on test and inspection data to predict failures, detect outliers and accelerate root-cause analysis.

Blue circuit board with dense electronic traces
Data-driven insight from every test we run.

Ways to collaborate

  • Sponsored studies on specific devices, materials or mechanisms
  • Joint development of test methods and qualification approaches
  • Analytics projects using your existing test and yield data
  • Collaboration with academic and industry research partners

Who it's for

Technology developers, semiconductor companies and research institutions that want an experienced, independent partner for reliability-focused R&D.
