    摘要: A substrate removal approach involves sensing acoustic energy in an integrated circuit as a function of substrate in the integrated circuit being removed. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a method for substrate removal includes removing a portion of substrate from the back side of a semiconductor chip circuitry near a circuit side and opposite the back side. The substrate is removed as a function of detected acoustic energy propagating through the device. The detected acoustic energy can be correlated to a parameter and used for controlling the substrate removal process, improving the ability to efficiently and accurately test semiconductor devices.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to semiconductor chip analysis involving evaluation of a thickness of material in the chip, for example, as the chip is being thinned. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor die having a buried insulator (BIN) layer between a circuit side that is opposite a back side is analyzed. Light is directed at a selected area at the back side that is over a portion of material that has been reduced in thickness relative to the thickness of an unaltered die. The light has sufficient intensity to pass through the BIN layer and sufficient photon energy to cause the generation of electron-hole pairs in the die on the side of the BIN layer opposite the back side of the die. The electron-hole pairs generate an electrical output from the semiconductor die that is monitored and used to evaluate the thickness of the material.

    摘要: Post-manufacturing analysis of a semiconductor device is enhanced via a method that uses a light emitting diode (LED) formed in a semiconductor die. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a LED is formed within a semiconductor die having a circuit side opposite a back side. The LED is activated and generates radiation. Substrate is removed from the device, and the amount of radiation that passes through the substrate is detected. The amount of radiation that passes through the die is a function of the absorption characteristics of the die and the substrate thickness. By detecting the radiation and using the absorption characteristics of the die, the amount of substrate remaining in the back side of the die is determined and the substrate removal process is controlled therefrom.

    摘要: A system for determining the endpoint associated with removing silicon from the backside of a flip chip type die includes a tool for removing silicon and a light source for directing light to the backside of the die. An electrical measuring apparatus, such as a voltmeter, ammeter or oscilloscope, is attached across the output pins of a package to which the die is attached. The light or ions directed toward the backside of the die induce a current in the devices formed in the semiconductor. The value of the current or voltage output depends on the thickness of material between the endpoint on the backside of the die and the devices in the epitaxial layer of the die. The induced signal can be monitored to determine the thickness. Silicon can be removed globally until the thickness is reasonable such that a local thinning tool can be used to remove silicon to get to the area of interest in a reasonable amount of time. The induced current can be monitored during local thinning. A viewing mechanism such as infrared microscopy can be used to locate the specific device or devices of interest in the epitaxial layer of the die. The viewing mechanism is also used to determine where localized thinning will occur.

    摘要: Metal electrical members bonded by coupling to at least one member a frequency doubled pulsed Nd:YAG laser comprising 533 and 1064 nm wavelengths is described. Frequency doubling is accomplished by directing a 1064 nm wavelength pulsed Nd:YAG laser at an intracavity nonlinear crystal such as potassium titanyl phosphate between a highly reflective mirror and a partially reflective mirror to produce frequency doubling. An infrared reflector outside the cavity can reduce the 1064 nm wavelength thereby increasing the percentage of 533 nm wavelength. Alternatively the laser beam can be split and the separate wavelengths directed to separate attenuators to allow the percentage of both 533 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths to be adjusted. A gold bump on an integrated circuit can be bonded to a gold plated copper TAB tape lead.
