Testing new products for market, debugging designs, prototyping, increasing yield and optimizing process marginalities are daily challenges that semiconductor professionals confront. This SPARK webinar series gives you new insights into failure analysis and device innovations with dedicated tools. Learn how electrical failure analysis systems, (S)TEM solutions and dual-beam FIBs, and the latest logic and memory nanoprobing workflows make your profession life easier.
Advanced analytical tools specifically designed for failure analysis must be able to quickly handle sample preparation and isolate minor electrical or physical defects – defects that can destroy device performance, reliability, and yield.
What will you learn in this webinar:
Advances in semiconductor design mean smaller and more complex architectures are used in the manufacturing process. Atom probe tomography is used in characterizing these architectures, as it enables accurate visualization and analysis at high resolution.
However, in order to precisely characterize samples using atom probe tomography, clean and uniform sample preparation is necessary. This is difficult to achieve using current high kV cleaning methods, because these techniques damage the sample surface.
