Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWSOur offer to our customers for corrosion testing and for testing the corrosion behavior of microelectronic components includes:
- Analysis of materials and combinations of materials in terms of their corrosion stability and corrosion behavior
- Technology qualification in the framework of standard tests
- Microstructural analyses of local failure mechanisms
- Analyses to help select materials for corrosion-resistant packages and systems for high temperature applications
- Development of test methods for industrial process control
- Analyses of the interaction between corrosion processes and mechanical and thermomechanical stresses, for example due to different housing architectures and manufacturing processes for packaging
- Clarification of process- and application-related contamination
- High-resolution diagnostics with electron microscopy as well as time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, possibly including thermomechanical simulation or finite element simulation
