Memory Device Cross-Sectioning [Learn from the JHA Team]
Producing Memory Device Cross-Sectiong Samples
Our newest JH Analytical Team member David is supporting and learning all of the functions in the lab.
What better way to learn than to produce some cross-section samples on your own!
We gave David a DRAM memory card and asked him to create cross-section samples to help our sales staff show Leica optics capabilities.
Below is a step-by-step pictorial view of our memory device cross-sectioning sample preparation process and final results.
A Day in the Analytical Lab
David and our intern Alex Lau created these samples in roughly one day while learning the ins-and-outs of processing electronic devices for analysis.
The samples came out great and you can see the resulting images below.
Different Imaging Methods Offer Different Results
We used different imaging methods to show the results you can expect. Each method has benefits, in addition to providing information and data.
The best method for memory device cross-sectioning and other analytical lab processes is the one that provides the data you need in the most cost-effective way.
As both a supplier and user of the tools used to generate the images below, we have the unique advantage of choosing the most appropriate tool for the job.
We invite you to visit our lab and see all that can be done to get you the answers you need. Complete the form on this page or give us a call at 408-436-6336 for assistance.
