Download here : FIB assisted electrical debug- June 2018 FIB assisted electrical debug (micro-probing your layout) for 1st Silicon (part of the NanoScope ‘Summer of Love’ rel1.1- 28 June 2018) An often overlooked option in the race to get 1st Silicon devices working, is simple electrical probing (µm), but why is this? Well the reasons are all very human. We think because line-widths are getting smaller and top down access to (often) buried nodes is almost impossible (for anything that’s not top layer metal), that this technique is simply not applicable now. So the questions and options we consider run along these lines “How can I get through a WL-CSP package (for example) and get a needle onto a buried node to find the state of that node? Impossible, right? And the track is only 90nm’s wide anyway, so the probing station I will need will not only be extremely expensive to buy/rent/use, but could be far away, meaning I’ll have to travel and possibly spend a couple of days trying to get that to work. And even if everything goes well, it’s likely it won’t give me a clean contact and a clear answer which will be difficult to explain, even if I can get a needle down without breaking the circuit right away. And I’ll have to explain and justify this whole risky process to the project leader who’s not going to like it when I come back with half an answer, a big invoice to go with it and 2 weeks lost as well.” So instead of all that pain, it’s quite human of us...
The perfect addition to any FIB or FIB-SEM laboratory, a high performance optical microscope with ultra long working distance lenses and an ‘ex-situ‘ FIBxTEM section lift-out manipulator. Go to the full product description here. Our engineers (in previous roles) configured and supplied the first version of the ex-situ lift out system to all international FIB and FIB-SEM markets for over 10 years. Now we have created a new ‘best in class’ configuration to maximise the benefits of the ex-situ approach across the widest range of materials systems. If you are not sure of the advantages of ex-situ vs in-situ, read our technical article describing all the pro’s and con’s of both techniques here. The new system configuration has been developed with the experience gained from making FIBxTEM sections from over 300 different materials systems over the last 20 years. From catalytic converters to teeth, Indium Antimonide to car paint and carbon fibre composites and nuclear fuel rod liners to aerogel, we’ve used this technique to make successful FIBxTEM sections from all these materials systems, so we know what works and more importantly, what doesn’t. Changes to the stage design, combination lighting sources and lenses, ensure that the system delivers the highest success rate possible. In addition we have taken advantage of new manufacturing capabilities and techniques, so the system is far more economical than any other ex-situ lift-out solution which has been offered until now. Our fully capable ‘ECO’ configuration is available for £19,650 (€24,955) with immediate delivery. To see the full product description and specifications go to the lift-out page here.
