| 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. |

Please contact us without
hesitation. We will conduct the tests according to the following flow and submit
the report to you.

| 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.). |
