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 ...

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 ...

The Ultimate Guide to: BiCMOS

The semiconductor industry went through several stages of evolution, beginning with the Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) Field-Effect Transistor (FET) which was first proposed by Lilienfeld and Heil in the 1930s, moving on to bipolar in the 1950s and N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) in 1970s, and ultimately becoming the standard in ...

IC Failure Analysis Techniques: A Complete Guide

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 ...

The 6 Must-Do’s for Semiconductor Fabless Start-ups

Getting funding for a semiconductor startup is not getting easier. According to CBIngishts, there have been fewer than 20 Angel/Seed and Series A deals in the USA in each year since 2009.   So where is all the funding channeled to? In 2013, close to a quarter of all VC funding was ...

Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) of Semiconductor Devices

Once an electrical failure has been localized inside an integrated circuit, the next challenge is determining what physically went wrong.  Was a metal interconnect broken?  Did a via fail?  Is there contamination between two structures? Has a dielectric layer broken down? Is a transistor structure abnormal? Or did the failure originate in the ...
