Microelectronics--Failure Analysis
The SwRI Component-Analysis Group specializes in failure analysis of electronic and electrical components. Included in the Group's experience are (1) integrated circuits (e.g., operational amplifiers, logic devices, voltage regulators, etc.), (2) discrete semiconductor devices (e.g., transistors, diodes, optoelectronic devices, silicon controlled rectifiers, etc.), and (3) a wide variety of other electronic and electrical components. 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.

Model verification is the process of determining that a model accurately represents the underlying mathematical model and its solution. Model validation is the process of determining the degree to which a model is an accurate representation of the real world from the perspective of the intended uses of the model. In other words, verification is demonstrating that the equations are being solved correctly, whereas validation is demonstrating that the correct equations are being solved.
