We will identify and observe the defective areas of power devices such as diodes, MOS-FETs, and IGBTs.

We perform optimal preprocessing for power devices such as diodes, MOS FETs, and IGBTs of all sizes and shapes, and identify and observe defective areas through backside IR-OBIRCH analysis and backside emission analysis. ■ Preprocessing for analysis - Backside polishing - We accommodate various sample forms. Si chip size: 200um to 15mm square ■ Defective area identification - Backside IR-OBIRCH analysis and backside emission analysis - IR-OBIRCH analysis: Supports up to 100mA/10V and 100uA/25V Emission analysis: Supports up to 2kV * We address a wide range of defect characteristics such as low-resistance shorts, micro leaks, and high voltage breakdown failures. ■ Pinpoint cross-sectional observation of leak areas - SEM/TEM - We select SEM or TEM observation based on the predicted defects and can conduct physical observation and elemental analysis of leak defect areas with precision.

TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) meets a wide range of requirements for observing failure sites of electronic components, length measurements, elemental analysis, crystal structure analysis, and material evaluation.

TEM can perform not only high-magnification observation but also elemental analysis using EDS and EELS, as well as analysis of crystal structure, surface orientation, lattice constants, and more through electron diffraction.

Since semiconductors have different physical properties, new methods are required for failure analysis!

Our company conducts OBIRCH analysis of SiC devices using short-wavelength lasers. SiC is a power device with less energy loss compared to conventional Si semiconductors and is attracting attention. However, since its physical properties differ from those of Si semiconductors, new methods are required for failure analysis. In the backside OBIRCH analysis of SiC-SBD using short-wavelength lasers, localized melting damage was induced in the SiC Schottky barrier diode, resulting in the generation of pseudo-leaks. Locations of pseudo-leaks that could not be confirmed in the IR-OBIRCH analysis were clearly observed in the GL-OBIRCH analysis. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Pre-processing of SiC devices → Identification of leakage points → Physical analysis/component analysis handled seamlessly!

Our company conducts "Backside Emission Analysis of SiC Devices." SiC is a power device with less energy loss compared to conventional Si semiconductors and is attracting attention. However, due to its different physical properties from Si semiconductors, new methods are required for failure analysis. In a case study of backside emission analysis of SiC MOSFETs, an overseas SiC MOSFET was subjected to ESD, creating a G-(D,S) leakage, and numerous emissions indicating the leakage points were detected through emission analysis. When the emission points were observed using TEM, destruction of the SiO2 film and damage to the SiC crystal were noted. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will handle everything from the evaluation of the diffusion layer to physical analysis/chemical analysis regarding the malfunctioning part!

At Aites Co., Ltd., we offer analysis services for power semiconductors. Since our separation and independence from the Quality Assurance Department of IBM Japan's Yasu office in 1993, we have cultivated our own unique analysis and evaluation techniques. We can handle not only Si semiconductors but also the trending wide bandgap semiconductors. 【Features】 ■ OBIRCH analysis supports not only Si but also SiC and GaN devices ■ FIB processing is possible from either side ■ Visualization of the depletion layer formed at the PN junction ■ Elemental analysis such as EDS and EELS is also supported *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

Are you struggling to explain "safety" to the client using just drawings? - The risks in blind spots are difficult to convey to the client through drawings alone. - Safety measures often become a target for cost reduction, making it hard to communicate their necessity. - There is a concern that the client might say, "It's more dangerous than I thought," after completion. Risks that are visible to design professionals are not easily understood intuitively by clients who are outside the field. This document is not just a simple explanation of sensor functions; it is a guide to visually explain "why sensors are necessary in that location." It can be used directly as explanatory material for the client. Here are three key points for utilizing this document: 1. Visualization of Risks Blind spots during vehicle departure and contact risks within the site are illustrated clearly. 2. Clarification of Selection Criteria A comparison table outlines the differences between complex sensor types such as infrared, ultrasonic, and loop coils. 3. Diagram of System Configuration It illustrates not just the sensors alone, but how they combine with components like rotating lights and control panels, providing practical assistance for electrical equipment design. Please make use of this to prevent "rework after completion" and "accident risks."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made the bed exit sensor wireless, allowing it to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ The bed exit sensor notifies wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with a single receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
