Failure Analysis Techniques for Semiconductor Devices

This course is a lecture-discussion on the failure analysis techniques in semiconductor devices. This will cover topics from electrical characterization of MOSFET (Igss, Idss, Bvdss etc), non-destructive, destructive analysis up to the application of Photon emission, Optical Beam Induced Resistance Change (OBIRCH), Thermal Emission to failure isolation. Practical tips based on actual experience of the resource speaker will be shared in the training.

Course Objectives

☑ Learn electrical characterization techniques for MOSFETs and related devices
☑ Understand both non-destructive and destructive failure analysis methods
☑ Apply emission microscopy techniques for failure isolation
☑ Operate IR-OBIRCH and gain practical tips from industry experience
