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 ...

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 ...

Faraday Unveils ASIC Success in Factory Automation

Faraday Technology Corporation (TWSE: 3035), a leading ASIC design service and IP provider, today announced that it has won and delivered several factory automation (FA) related ASIC projects, supporting real-time Ethernet, EtherCAT, Profibus, and PLC controllers.

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 ...

Package Failure Analysis Services | IC Package FA Lab

Package failure analysis is the systematic investigation of defects and failures originating within semiconductor packaging, interconnects, solder connections, die attach, bond wires, redistribution layers and other structures that connect the semiconductor die to the outside system. A semiconductor device may fail electrical testing even though the silicon itself is functioning correctly. ...

Chipmaker Broadcom to Acquire Brocade for $5.9 Billion

SINGAPORE and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Limited (Nasdaq:AVGO) and Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BRCD) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Broadcom will acquire Brocade, a leader in Fibre Channel storage area network (“FC SAN”) switching and IP networking, for $12.75 ...

Semiconductor Failure Analysis Process: From Failure to Root Cause

When a semiconductor device fails, the visible damage is not necessarily the root cause. A damaged metal line, cracked package, leaking transistor or burned bond wire may be the final result of a sequence of events rather than the original problem. The purpose of the semiconductor failure analysis process is therefore to ...

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 ...
