'QwikQual'
Chip makers, QwikQual gets your process ramped up or helps correct a yield excursion.
Chip Makers and FAB Product Engineers.
‘QwikQual’ can help get your process ramped up, or speed up the solving of a yield excursion in your process.
Sometimes you need to know what your process tool is achieving at a specific location which is critical to your final yield, and so we have introduced a rapid instrument qualification process for FAB engineers, who need site specific process data on a sameday/next day basis.
Our ‘QwikQual’ service is for 1 or 2 micro cross-sections with imaging and calibrated metrology taken from a specific location to help you independently qualify your manufacturing equipment – specifically for clients who have pre-registered for this service.
We will email the images directly to you as they are produced, allowing you to make quick decisions for your production line and your process.
This service is ideal for foundries who are ‘ramping up’ a new process or for supplying site specific customer qualification data or for non-standard Quals.

Its got to be
- FAST
- Independent
- From the right location
- Correct (Accurate)
- Referenced to traceable standards
- Reasonably priced
How do I do that?
- BEFORE – Sign up to ‘QwikQual’ service
- TODAY – Ship the sample to us to arrive just after 8am – not before (or before 5pm for next day work) – do this first – 2 sections max
- Call us for taxi or bike courier contacts
- TODAY – Email us your sectioning job instructions (guidelines on website) and telephone us to advise that there is a project arriving.
- TOMORROW – We run the job before ‘start of day’
- TOMORROW – results emailed to you before 10AM
- PO – draw down to agreed limit
- You can watch on the web with ‘LiveFIB’ if you want.
IC Decap, MEMS Gel coat removal and ‘through WL-CSP’ FIB edit capabilities available now.
NanoScope has brought Dual-Acid decapsulation in-house, and extended those capabilities.
This equipment was part of a larger equipment acquisition and more FA and other capabilities will become available over the next few weeks.
New plastic package decapsulation capability launching soon.
NanoScope has been successful in acquiring much of the FA capability of the Unisem facility and we are now in the process of transferring this equipment over to our Bristol Laboratory.
Accelerating MEMS development with FIB Nano-Surgery
Here I discuss why the growth in MEMS development is lagging the growth that was witnessed for IC development in many respects – but highlighting that there are valuable lessons available to accelerate future growth too.
