OBIRCH (Optical Beam Induced Resistance Change) is a laser-based fault-localization technique used in semiconductor failure analysis to identify electrically abnormal regions such as resistive shorts, leakage paths, defective vias and interconnect problems.
The technique works by scanning a focused laser across an electrically biased semiconductor device. Local laser heating changes the ...
Imagine a world where data moves at the speed of light—literally. Silicon photonics makes this possible, merging optics with the familiar silicon used in traditional electronics.
This advanced technology, originating from the 1980s, stands today as a pivotal innovation in microelectronics. It offers faster data transfer rates and lower power consumption ...
When an integrated circuit fails, identifying the damaged component is only part of the challenge. Engineers must determine where the failure occurred, what physical or electrical mechanism caused it, and ultimately why it happened. This requires a combination of specialized IC failure analysis techniques. Some techniques detect electrical abnormalities without physically altering ...
With a rapid progression in the applications involving artificial intelligence, data generation has been increased exponentially in last few years. It has been estimated that in 2018, 2,5 quintillion bytes of data is generated every day [1]. This huge data generation puts enormous computational requirements on telecom platforms and data ...
IC short circuit failure analysis is the process of determining where an unintended electrical connection exists inside a semiconductor device, package or interconnect structure and identifying the physical defect that created the short.
A short circuit may initially appear only as excessive supply current, unexpectedly low resistance between two nodes, abnormal ...
