| Failure Analysis of Electronics/Elec Components |
|
| The SwRI Component-Analysis Group specializes in failure analysis of electronic and electrical components. Included in the Group's experience are (1) passive components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, switches, etc.), (2) electromagnetic devices (e.g., relays, motors, etc.), (3) miscellaneous devices (e.g., transducers, sensors, fuses, lamps, etc.), (4) discrete semiconductor devices (e.g., transistors, diodes, optoelectronic devices, silicon controlled rectifiers, etc.), and (5) low-density integrated circuits (e.g., operational amplifiers, simple logic blocks, voltage regulators, etc.).
Laboratory equipment supports key failure-analysis operations including photography, optical microscopy, x-radiography, package opening, scanning-electron microscopy, elemental analysis by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, cross sectioning (both mounted and unmounted), microprobing, wet-chemical and plasma etching, hermeticity testing, and particle-impact-noise detection. |

| Fuel Cells Emissions Testing |
|
| Characterization and measurement of byproducts. Fuel cells are being developed to provide clean propulsion for vehicles and powr for many applications. When anything other than hydrogen is used as the fuel source(e.g. hydrocarbons), these must be conveerted to hydrogen, and unwanted byproducts are formed. |
