Deprocessing And SEM For Semiconductor Failure Analysis
By Helle Ronsberg - 09 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

A typical semiconductor is fabricated from metal and barrier layers separated by passivation layers. A further glassivation and/or polyimide layer on top of these provides environmental and mechanical protection. Optical microscopes By using optical microscopy, the semiconductor die can be inspected for failure modes such as top-down visible crack degradation, melt-down of metal conductors,... » read more

Failure Analysis Of Electronic Devices Using Scanning Acoustic Microscopy
By Yavuz Kose - 11 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Scanning acoustic microscopy, or SAM, is a non-destructive technique used in failure analysis of complex devices. SAM can provide a resolution down to sub-micron thicknesses. SAM is an efficient tool for analysis of adhesion between layers and presence of possible flaws in each layer. This can be used e.g. for investigations of sealing, coating, flip-chip underfills, BGA, QFN, wafer to wafer ... » read more

A Different Approach To Failure Analysis
By Yavuz Kose - 07 May, 2019 - Comments: 0

Decapsulation of plastic IC packages in different types and size were performed by wet chemical technique. Studied devices were to use in satellites and going to subject a series of test which require the die to be exposed. Different package types with changing sizes and bonding types such as Au- and Cu-bonded packages for unmounted and PCBA-mount components were successfully achieved. A combin... » read more

Chips That See
By Gert Jorgensen - 12 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

An opto-based microchip implemented in standard CMOS technology has made it possible to develop a new type of on-chip functionality which combines normal ASIC technology with optical filters on the chip diode. The chip emulates the human eye and the way it detects light can be used for industrial purposes to create artificial intelligence for functions such as 3D motion control, eye protection ... » read more
