Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) of Integrated Circuits

When an integrated circuit fails, one of the first questions is: How is the device failing electrically?   A chip may exhibit excessive leakage current, a short circuit, an open connection, abnormal supply current, a parametric shift or a complete functional failure. Before engineers physically cut into the device, they usually want to ...

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 ...

AnySilicon helps semiconductor companies, fabless companies, IDMs, electronics manufacturers and engineering teams identify failure analysis laboratories with the equipment and expertise required to investigate IC, wafer, die and semiconductor package failures. A good semiconductor failure analysis lab does more than operate laboratory equipment. The laboratory must ...

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 ...

Understanding Wafer Cost

The factors affecting silicon wafer cost are numerous. From the resistivity required for different applications to the physical size of the wafers, and not least the quality grades that separate the pristine from the less perfect; each aspect intricately influences the cost.     As we embark on this explanation, we'll unwrap the ...

China Imposes Export Restrictions on Key Minerals to the United States

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce today announced immediate export restrictions on gallium, germanium, antimony, and super-hard materials to the United States. This action cites national security concerns and represents a significant escalation of trade tensions between the two countries. The restrictions follow recent U.S. actions to curb exports of semiconductor-related ...

INTEGRA TECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS SILICON PHOTONICS CAPABILITIES

This latest set of tools is based on the double-sided HexNano ...

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 ...
