FIB circuit edit and rapid prototyping
Time to market is a critical factor in the success of semiconductor devices. Manufacturing timelines are long and difficult to manage, so it is important that early production runs provide functional devices. Late discovery of design issues limiting device performance at final test can lead to months of delays in product introduction timelines while new mask sets are created, and new devices are manufactured.
Circuit edit systems provide a solution to test and validate design changes, optimize performance, prototype, and scale functional devices for internal and external customer’s development, validation, and qualification. Circuit edit systems utilize high-resolution focused ion beams (FIBs) and advaced chemistries to perform “nano-surgery” on semi-conductor devices, cutting and creating connections within the device to correct design issues and return functioning products. These working devices keep projects on track without the costs and delays of new mask sets.
