General Info

Since 1970, PhotoMetrics has been solving production and failure analysis problems through chemical analysis and materials characterization. We are a commercial analytical laboratory located in Southern California offering state-of-the-art equipment, facilities and instrumentation, including, Field-Emission SEM for high resolution work, and Microelectronics Failure Analysis - Complete service for construction and failure analysis of semiconductor devices. Obtain accurate line widths, diffusion depths and film thicknesses using precision cross-sectioning and Scanning Electron Microscope imaging. Micro-contaminant Analysis - Identification of organic and inorganic micro-particles, liquid and solid films. Surface analysis techniques - for thin film characterization. Analyze the top few molecular layers of your sample with depth profiles to 2000 nm. Identify stains, surface oxidation, metal diffusion, catalyst degradation and measure film thicknesses. Organic and Inorganic Chemical Analysis - Qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis of compounds as solids, liquids and gases. Polymers are identified from a few nanograms of material, elemental analyses require much less.
