Microelectronics Failure Analysis

DVD 7

Lecture 19

"EOS / ESD"

Presenter: Chuck Hawkins

UNM

Professor Hawkins in back again in lecture 19, this time he discusses Electrical OverStress and Elector Static Discharge. Chuck explains EOS/ESD: what they are and how to tell the difference.

Topics:

• Electrical Over Stress / Electro Static Discharge
• EOS / ESD Damage
• ESD Awareness
• Damage Mechanisms
• Triboelectric Series
• ESD Models
• HBM / FICDM Test Methods
• Failure Analysis - Is It EOS or ESD
• ESD Protection Circuitry
• Prevention

Included with this lecture, you will receive 29 presentation slides in PDF format. Lecture time is approximately 75 minutes.

Lecture 20

"Advanced Fault Isolation 1: SQUID Microscopy"

Presenter: Lee Knaus

Neocera Corp.

Lecture 20 - Lee has worked on development of the Advanced Fault Isolation Microscopy system called the Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). Lee explains why this technology is needed and the type of defects that can be localized by its use.

Topics:

• Magnetic Field Imaging
• Paradigm Shift in IC Packaging
• How SQUID works
• Block Diagram of a SQUID Microscope
• SQUID - Sample Separation
• Example Applications
• Multichip Module Imaging
• Processor Magnetic / Current Image overlays

Included with this lecture, you will receive 28 presentation slides in PDF format. Lecture time is approximately 75 minutes.

Lecture 21

"Advanced Fault Isolation 2: SQUID Microscopy"

Presenter: Lee Knaus

Neocera Corp.

Lecture 21 is the second half of Lee's lecture on the SQUID Microscope. Lee continues to explain how the instrument is used for current imaging and its use for failure analysis in semiconductor applications.

Topics:

• Localizing Short Circuits with MAGMA-C1
• Current Image Overlay Backside
• Current Image Overlay Frontside
• Defect Location
• Test Subject
• Background & Current Magnetic Fields
• Technique Comparison
• Scanning SQUID Capability Limits
• and more...

Included with this lecture, you will receive 44 presentation slides in PDF format. Lecture time is approximately 75 minutes.
