Failure Analysis
When you encounter a problem or performance defect with your part or device, it can cause serious stalls in development and production. These delays cost you time and money, unnecessarily.
Working with a qualified Failure Analysis partner like Covalent can accelerate problem solving by infusing your team with actionable data and domain-specific expertise.
Our team has nearly a century of combined experience in helping teams like yours to:
- Identify failure mechanisms
- Improve production processes
- Enhance the reliability, performance, and consistency of products
