OBIRCH for Semiconductor Failure Analysis: Resistive Fault Localization

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 ...

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for Semiconductor Failure Analysis

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is one of the highest-resolution physical-analysis techniques used in semiconductor failure analysis. It allows failure analysts to examine extremely small structural and material anomalies that may be impossible to characterize using optical microscopy or conventional SEM alone. TEM works by transmitting a high-energy electron beam through an ...

X-Ray Inspection for Semiconductor Package Failure Analysis

Many important semiconductor package defects are completely hidden from optical inspection. A solder ball can contain a void. A bond wire can be broken inside an encapsulated package. A die-attach layer may contain large areas of voiding. A package substrate can contain an open trace, and an advanced package may have ...

Semiconductor Failure Analysis: The Complete Guide to IC Failure Analysis

Semiconductor devices can fail for many reasons: manufacturing defects, electrical overstress, electrostatic discharge, contamination, packaging problems, excessive temperature, mechanical stress, aging or defects introduced during assembly.   Finding the actual cause of an IC failure, however, is rarely as simple as looking at the damaged device.   Semiconductor failure analysis (FA) is the systematic ...

Nanoprobing for Semiconductor Failure Analysis

Nanoprobing is an advanced electrical characterization and fault-localization technique used in semiconductor failure analysis to directly investigate individual transistors, contacts, vias and interconnect structures inside an integrated circuit. Instead of relying only on package-level electrical measurements, nanoprobing allows extremely small conductive structures on a deprocessed semiconductor die to be contacted using ...

Common IC Failure Mechanisms and Their Causes

Integrated circuits can fail for many different reasons. Some failures originate inside the semiconductor die, while others result from packaging, manufacturing, assembly, electrical overstress or the environment in which the device operates. Common IC failure mechanisms include electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS), electromigration, dielectric breakdown, interconnect defects, corrosion, contamination, thermal ...
