In-Process Testing
Atomica offers the ability to adapt our tests to fit our customers’ specific application needs. The immediate feedback reduces development time and improves process optimization. Ultimately, this leads to faster time to market and higher yield.
Testing is a critical component of microfabrication, including MEMS, sensors, photonics, and biochips, ensuring device performance, reliability, and quality. Given the complexity of these devices, comprehensive testing helps identify and eliminate defects early, reducing costs and improving yield. Atomica’s in-process electrical testing includes measurements of capacitance, resistance, inductance, and isolation, enabling real-time verification of functionality. For unique applications, we also provide custom testing solutions tailored to meet specific customer requirements, ensuring that only high-quality, known-good dies are delivered, optimizing production efficiency and device reliability.
- Electrical Testing Electrical testing in microfabrication is used to evaluate the electrical properties of microelectronic devices and materials, including conductivity, resistivity, capacitance, and device performance characteristics. This testing ensures that the devices meet design specifications and function correctly.
- Mechanical Testing Mechanical testing in microfabrication assesses the mechanical properties of materials and devices at micro and nanoscale. This includes measuring hardness, elasticity, tensile strength, adhesion, and fracture toughness. Various techniques like nanoindentation, tensile testing, and bending tests are employed.
- Thermal Testing Thermal testing examines how materials and devices behave under different temperature conditions, focusing on properties like thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, and heat dissipation. It ensures that devices can operate reliably across a range of temperatures.
