Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFTThe on-going miniaturization in the microelectronics and semiconductor technologies has lead to a significant increase of requirements on electronic components and systems. Due to the complexity and variety of possible fault mechanisms, failures and malfunctions can present a serious challenge especially for SMEs. In this context, the scientists at Fraunhofer EMFT use their many years of experience and expertise to offer various services across all levels of electronics in the fields of failure and defect analysis, quality and reliability evaluation, authenticity verification of components and process support. The Fraunhofer EMFT not only offers individual component analyses, but also a consistent series of investigations from system to chip level.
