In failure analysis and remediation, chemical analysis for
substance detection and verification is important. These
approaches are used in conjunction with more conventional
methods such as microscopy and physical analysis. Popular
instrumental techniques for chemical analysis were discussed in
part one of this book, particularly in terms of principles of
operation and how they could be applied to failure analyses.
Several examples of how these methods were used to achieve
effective failure analysis are mentioned in this chapter.
