In the semiconductor industry, the creation of every chip depends on rigorous inspection and analysis.
Among these critical processes, Failure Analysis (FA) plays a vital role as the final safeguard for product quality and reliability.

As part of iST Group’s ongoing commitment to talent cultivation and knowledge sharing, the Director of the Failure Analysis Division recently gave a guest lecture at the Department of Electronic Engineering, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST).
The session, titled "The Critical Role of Failure Analysis in the Semiconductor Supply Chain," explored how FA supports each stage of the semiconductor process—from wafer fabrication and packaging to final testing.

During the lecture, the Director provided a clear and practical overview of FA’s applications, highlighting real-world case studies to reveal the often-overlooked technical challenges behind today’s electronic products—and how those challenges are resolved using advanced analytical techniques.

Through this knowledge-sharing initiative, iST aims to help students stay attuned to industry trends, expand their technical horizons, and build a strong foundation for their future careers.
This effort is part of iST’s broader ESG strategy, focusing on education, talent development, and creating a more sustainable future through innovation and collaboration.
