Please refer to our Testing and Simulation Brochure for a quick summary.

Araca Incorporated, independently, as well as in partnership with the University of Arizona, Tufts University, Hanyang University (Korea) and several other prestigious research centers worldwide, can analytically test your planarization and polishing consumables such as pads, slurries, post-CMP cleaning brushes and chemicals, diamond discs and retaining rings.

Wherever feasible, the results of the tests are backed up with sound scientific analysis.

We offer a battery of cost-effective analytical tests of your consumables which allows us to make recommendations as to their performance before your company commits additional funds for functional testing.

Our test are intended to:

• Identify promising materials (and screen out potentially bad actors) during the early stages of product development.
• Act as failure analyses vehicles for your current BKM materials.
• Establish material performance baselines for QA and QC.
• Provide data to assist you in patent filings, technical publications or client presentations.

Our analytical services and scientific backing of the data in the areas of laser confocal microscopy, white light interferometry and asperity-level mechanical testing are unsurpassed in the industry.
