FIB Circuit Edit

What is a Circuit Edit?   A circuit edit is when you need to modify an existing ASIC or integrated circuit for whatever reason. This is usually done with the help of an ion beam that is focused onto the chip to modify it as per the request of the designer. Engineers ...

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) for Semiconductor Failure Analysis

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) is a non-destructive imaging technique widely used in semiconductor failure analysis to inspect structures and interfaces hidden inside IC packages. Unlike optical microscopy, which relies on visible light, or X-ray inspection, which relies primarily on differences in material density and X-ray absorption, SAM uses high-frequency acoustic waves. This ...

Semiconductor Failure Analysis Labs by Equipment & Technique

Finding the right semiconductor failure analysis lab often depends less on the laboratory's name and more on whether it has the equipment and technical expertise required for your specific failure. A package delamination problem may require Scanning Acoustic Microscopy. A suspected interconnect defect may require FIB cross-sectioning and SEM inspection. Leakage ...

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 ...

Why Dr. Morris Chang is not My Hero. A tribute to Failure Analysis Engineers

  Dr. Morris Chang is not my hero. He might be the most important person in the semiconductor industry in our lifetime, but he is not my hero. I have nothing against him. I’ve never met him and probably will never will. Instead, I meet my heroes usually after tape-out, when ...

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 ...

Creonic’s DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X IP Cores Now Support the New DVB-NIP Standard

Creonic’s DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X IP cores now include support for the new DVB-NIP standard on physical layer — an important step toward seamless integration of satellite and IP-based network technologies.   The DVB-NIP standard is designed to facilitate the native transport of IP over satellite networks, extending the capabilities of DVB-S2X by streamlining packet-based data delivery.  With ...
