Electronics Materials Testing
The success or failure of electronic technologies depends on the correct selection of the right materials that will perform to standard and as expected. Electronics materials testing is a branch of materials testing which focuses specifically on the electronics materials which are used as core elements in devices’ applications. This might include component parts such as LEDs, semiconductors, displays and memories in technology like computers, laptops and mobile phones. The types of tests employed look at the physical and mechanical, thermal, elemental, chemical and electrical properties of metals, ceramics, polymers and semiconductors. The aim is to uncover performance issues under a range of scenarios and stresses. The electronic materials analysis not only determines whether each component part and the materials from which they are constructed are fit for purpose, i.e. will meet the standard requirements of typical end use. It also establishes whether they comply with relevant regulations in terms of quality and safety. Finally, the process is useful at design stages to prevent expensive mistakes during the production phase. The process is much used in the aerospace, automotive, defence, electronics, energy, and telecommunications industries. Each industry has its own applicable standards which must be met.
