Failure Analysis (FA) Equipment
Setting up a failure analysis laboratory from scratch is not easy nor cheap. It goes without saying that the process of setting up an FA lab requires diligent planning up-front. The two major aspects of setting up an FA lab are the preparation of the facility and the purchase of the FA equipment.
Much thought needs to go into the correct choice of the FA equipment, since a lot of these are quite expensive. Most companies set up their FA lab in stages, gradually building up the FA capability of the lab over time. Many FA managers follow three (3) stages (Basic, Good, and Advanced capabilities) in setting up their FA labs, which are presented in Tables 1 to 3 below.
Table 1. Basic FA Capability
Table 2. Good FA Capability
Table 3. Advanced FA Capability
FA Techniques: Failure Verification; Optical Inspection; Xray Radiography; Curve Tracing; Decapsulation; Sectioning; Microthermography; LEM; Microprobing; Die Deprocessing; Focused Ion Beam; SEM/TEM; Acoustic Microscopy;
