    摘要： Various apparatus and methods of testing a semiconductor chip for soft defects are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of testing a semiconductor chip that has a surface and plural circuit structures positioned beneath the surface is provided. An external stimulus is applied to a series of fractional portions of the surface to perturb portions of the plural circuit structures such that at least one of the series of fractional portions is smaller than another of the series of fractional portions. The semiconductor chip is caused to perform a test pattern during the application of external stimulus to each of the fractional portions to determine if a soft defect exists in any of the series of fractional portions.

    摘要： A semiconductor device is analyzed and manufactured using a heat-exchange probe. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a heat-exchange probe is controlled to exchange heat to a portion of a semiconductor device using sub-micron resolution. In one implementation, sub-micron resolution is achieved using a navigational arrangement, such as microscope, adapted to direct light to within about one micron of a target circuit portion on a plane of the device. In another implementation, a physical heat probe tip (e.g., a metal probe having about a one micron diameter probe tip) is navigated to a selected portion of the device using sub-micron navigational resolution. In each of these implementations, as well as others, the heat exchange is preponderantly confined to within about a one micron radius of a target portion of circuitry on lateral plane of the device. With this approach, heat exchange can be controlled to selectively stimulate circuitry within the device, which is particularly useful in high-density circuit implementations.

    摘要： A method for detecting substrate damage in a flip chip die, having a back side and a circuit side, that uses magnetic resonance imaging. The back side of the die is first globally thinned down and a region for examination is selected. A magnetic field is applied to the selected region and then the region is scanned with a magnetic resonance imaging arrangement. A plurality of perturbations are measured to generate an array of perturbation signals, which are then converted to a local susceptibility map of the selected region of the die. The susceptibility map of the selected region is then examined to determine if there is any substrate damage.

    摘要： Access to portions of semiconductor devices is enhanced via a method and system for probing between circuitry in the semiconductor device during post-manufacture analysis of the semiconductor device. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, an elongated conductive via probe is formed in a semiconductor device having circuitry in a circuit side opposite a back side. The probe is formed by first removing substrate from the semiconductor device and forming an exposed region over a target node between circuitry in the device. A narrow conductor is then formed for accessing the target node, with the conductor and extending between the circuitry and into the back side and forming the elongated conductive via probe. The probe is accessed and used for analyzing the device. In this manner, access to a difficult-to-reach target node, such as a node between closely-placed transistors, is facilitated.

    摘要： Substrate removal for post-manufacturing analysis of a semiconductor device is enhanced via a method and system that utilizes ion beam etching, to etch the backside of a semiconductor chip, and utilizes SIMS as a detection technique to not only control removal of the substrate from the backside of the chip but also to determine the endpoint of the removal process. In an example embodiment there is described a method for removing substrate from the backside of a semiconductor chip as a function of detected concentration levels of a selected substrate material that is sputtered off of a region of the substrate.

    摘要： According to one embodiment, an optical isolation module comprises first and second linear polarizers, a Faraday rotator situated between the first and second linear polarizers and a transmissive element including a half-wave plate also situated between the first and second linear polarizers. In one embodiment, a method for performing optical isolation comprises rotating an axis of polarization of a linearly polarized light beam by a first rotation in a first direction, and selectively rotating a portion of the linearly polarized light beam by a second rotation in the first direction to produce first and second linearly polarized light beam portions. As a result, the first linearly polarized light beam portion undergoes the first rotation, and the second linearly polarized light beam portion undergoes the first and second rotations. The method further comprises filtering one of the first and second linearly polarized light beam portions to produce a light annulus.
