Materials Science: Capabilities
Materials Characterization
RTI characterizes materials to answer client questions about defects, failure analysis, thin-film composition and microstructure, semiconductor characterization, surface topography, and other materials properties. We have a proven track record in adhesives, chemicals, flat panel displays, IC packaging, lighting, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), nanotechnology, metals, optical disk drives, polymers, semiconductors, and steel. Our analytical techniques can provide the following information:
- Surface elemental analysis
- Surface chemical bonding
- Depth profiling
- Bulk elemental analysis
- Film thickness and optical constants
- Surface morphology and roughness
- Microscopy and imaging
- Radiographic analysis
