CMC Laboratories is a premier, materials-focused analytical and thermal test laboratory. CMC specializes in root cause failure analysis for a global customer base.  CMC collaborates with our customer's quality organization, manufacturing team, or product development to address critical, time-sensitive problems.  
Advanced Materials Analysis Laboratory
Solving the problems of today for the technologies of tomorrow.
CMC Laboratories was founded in 2003 by a group of Solid State Physicists, Material Scientists, Mechanical Engineers and Chemists with a long history in material science and advanced electronics IP development.  Since its founding, CMC's focus has been on solving advanced materials related problems through Materials Characterization, Failure Analysis, and Materials Related Consulting.  CMC serves a global customer base, solving the problems of today for the technologies of tomorrow.
Industries and Technologies
CMC’s focus on semiconductor devices includes micron-level analysis of device structure and failure signatures.  CMC has significant experience with power semiconductor devices and with LEDs. CMC also provides competitive analysis for a wide range of semiconductor devices, which consists of in-depth tear downs, including basic device structure as well as packaging and encapsulation.
  
  ​In the medical area, CMC has significant experience in construction analysis of passive components used in implantable devices to determine potential failure modes.  This type of analysis involves in-depth microstructural characterization of materials and interfaces used in critical components, with an assessment of potential defects and projected associated failure modes.
  
  ​CMC has experience in a range of automotive applications, including: automotive LED lighting, hybrid circuits for automotive motor control, and automotive sensors with control circuits. CMC has direct experience with the specific and rigorous reliability requirements in the auto industry. In addition to standard failure analysis tests, CMC has developed specialized automotive focused characterization.
  
  ​CMC’s experience base in Mil-Aero applications includes failure mode identification and proposals for failure mode mitigation, predominantly in space applications.  CMC works closely with customer laboratories, government agencies and defense contractors. CMC’s role includes failure analysis aimed at root cause determination and physics of failure modeling to help customer’s teams quantify and address potential reliability issues. 
  CMC has extensive experience in failure analysis, reliability evaluation and materials development in LED applications. This includes high power LED packaging (ceramic based), mid-power LED packaging (lead-frame based), and LED assembly technologies including die attach, wirebonding, encapsulation and molding. Working with major LED device manufacturers, CMC has been closely involved in the evolution of LED packaging solutions over the past decade.
