    摘要： Substrate removal for post-manufacturing analysis of a semiconductor device is enhanced via a method and system that use sonic energy in the control of the removal process. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, sonic energy is reflected off of a region of a semiconductor chip having a portion of substrate removed from the back side of the chip. The reflections are detected and used to determine the thickness of substrate in the back side. In this manner, the substrate removal process can be efficiently and accurately controlled.

    摘要： According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a defect detection approach involves detecting the existence of defects in an integrated circuit as a function of at least one applied energy source. In response to energy that is applied to the integrated circuit, response signals are detected. A parameter including information such as amplitude, frequency, phase, or a spectrum is developed for a reference integrated circuit device and then compared to the detected response signal. The deviation in the response and reference signals, and the type of energy source used, are correlated to a particular defect in the device.

    摘要： A method and system providing spatial and timing resolution for photoemission microscopy of an integrated circuit. A microscope having an objective lens forming a focal plane is arranged to view the integrated circuit, and an aperture element having an aperture is optically aligned in the back focal plane of the microscope. The aperture element is positioned for viewing a selected area of the integrated circuit. A position-sensitive avalanche photo-diode is optically aligned with the aperture to detect photoemissions when test signals are applied to the integrated circuit.

    摘要： According to an example embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system and method for analyzing an integrated circuit. A laser is directed to the back side of an integrated circuit and causes local heating, which generates acoustic energy in the circuit. The acoustic energy propagation in the integrated circuit is detected via at least two detectors. Using the detected acoustic energy from the detectors, at least one circuit defect is detected and located.

    摘要： Analysis of a semiconductor die having silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure is enhanced by capacitively coupling a signal to the die. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a die having a thinned back side is analyzed by capacitively coupling an input signal through the insulator portion of the SOI structure and effecting a state change to circuitry in the die. The state change is used to evaluate a characteristic of the die, such as by detecting a response to the state change. The ability to force such a state change is helpful for evaluating dies having SOI structure, and is particularly useful for evaluation techniques that require or benefit from maintaining the insulator portion of the SOI structure intact.

    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.
