SCAS  Sumika Chemical Analysis Service, Ltd.

Evaluation of Reliability for Electronic Components and Materials

imgWe contribute toward securing the reliability of electronic components and precision components by our analytical techniques.

Our up-to-date chemical analytical techniques allow us to accept your requests for reliability tests related to the performance and life of semiconductor devices, packaging and electronic components and electronic materials.


  Features of our Reliability Tests

Electronic components are subjected to environmental tests under the influence of inorganic gases, organic gases and humidity that may cause chemical changes to the components, and the performance and reliability of the components are evaluated using advanced analytical techniques and electronic measuring techniques.
When any problem is found, we analyze the cause of the problem combining techniques of nondestructive inspection, surface analysis, observation of sections, degassing analysis and atmospheric measurement.

  Outline of Major Environmental Tests and Failure Analysis Items

1. Environmental Tests
The environmental tests are conducted by exposing the samples to inorganic gases, organic gases and humidity that may cause chemical changes to electronic components, and the performance and reliability of the electronic components are evaluated using our advanced analytical techniques and electronic measuring techniques.

2. Gas Corrosion Tests
We have gas test chambers applicable to various dimensions.
The chambers are applicable to various gases (sulfur dioxide, chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia, etc.), gas concentrations, standards and any desired testing conditions.
Combining with an insulation evaluation system enables to check the ion migration. (Also joint reliability can be evaluated.)

3. Special Environmental Tests
We can accept requests for immersion tests of electronic components and plastics in hazardous liquids, such as gasoline and engine oil, at high temperatures and pressures and tests in hydrogen gas atmosphere.
We are ready for other environmental tests under various conditions (high-temperature and high-humidity test, heat shock test, vibration test, impact test, light-resistance test, weather-ability test, salt spray test, water-resistance test, dust resistance test, etc.).
