While microelectronic packages are becoming more and more advanced, the need for non-destructive Electrical Fault Isolation (EFI) becomes ever more critical for the entire product life-cycle ranging from the chip development yield enhancements to fai

Magnetic field imaging is proving to be a valuable tool for semiconductor failure analysts and test engineers. One of its main advantages is that it does not require sample preparation or deprocessing because magnetic fields pass through most materia

A review of the 2001 edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors indicates major obstacles ahead. Of the three basic failure analysis steps—inspection, deprocessing, and fault isolation—the latter is the most at risk, espec

A newly developed optical method for noninvasively measuring the switching activity of operating CMOS integrated circuit chips is described. The method, denoted as picosecond imaging circuit analysis (PICA) can be used to characterize the gate-level

Lock-in thermography and magnetic current imaging are emerging as the two image-based fault isolation methods most capable of meeting the challenges of short and open defect localization in thick, opaque assemblies. Such devices are rapidly becoming

Space Domain Reflectometry (SDR) is a newly developed non-destructive failure analysis (FA) technique for localizing open defects in both packages and dies through mapping in space domain the magnetic field produced by a radio frequency (RF) current

The relative effectiveness of lock-in thermography and magnetic current imaging for identifying defects in packaged ICs was studied by directly comparing results on the same three devices. One known (in-lab fabricated) and two unknown (field return)

SEMATECH has sponsored a "test method evaluation" study to understand the trade-offs among the most common test methodologies used in the industry. This paper presents the results of the failure analysis portion of that project. The testing, reliabil

This paper reviews the logic failure analysis process and the critical need for design-for-diagnostics. The use of flip-chip packaging will render hardware-based diagnostic techniques from the front side of the die obsolete, e.g., liquid crystal, ele

Technological advances such as flip-chip packaging, multiple hierarchical wiring planes, and ultra-high frequencies reduce the effectiveness of conventional diagnostic techniques. It has recently been demonstrated that light pulses emitted during cir
