A teardown lab, from product to transistor.

SemiAnalysis STEEL is an 18,000 square foot teardown engineering and evaluation lab in Hillsboro, Oregon that performs physical analysis on semiconductors. The lab deconstructs components from the board level down to the transistor to reveal information not available in datasheets, such as the fabrication node, packaging details, and manufacturing costs. This physical analysis is crucial for competitive intelligence, IP discovery, and monitoring technological advancements. The process involves non-destructive imaging, disassembly, decapsulation, and analysis using optical, SEM, and TEM instruments. This service aims to provide a domestic resource for independent semiconductor competitive analysis.
