Welcome to RKD Engineering

RKD Engineering was formed in January of 2006 in Scotts Valley California, a small town half way between Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean. The three original principles have over 70 years of combined experience in the semiconductor industry with 50 years in supplying equipment for failure analysis. They have been involved in the designing of every U.S. made plastic package decapsulator since 1988 and are the inventors of all acid dispensing technology used in U.S. made decapsulators. This dispensing technology has allowed the development of our extensive fluid handling solutions and the development of the fastest and most repeatable acid decapsulator in the industry. In addition to acid decapsulators, RKD Engineering makes an extensive line of failure analysis sample preparation systems making them a one stop shop for sample preparation.

RKD Engineering will continue to develop products that will make sample preparation easier, faster, and more accurate as well as extending its expertise into new markets such as counterfeit detection and photovoltaic processing and evaluation. Our engineering expertise is available for custom tooling and process equipment.
