With analysts projecting a continued global chip shortage, doing a complete respin can add further pressure and excess delay to projects already pressured by semiconductor supply chain challenges.
FIB circuit edit provides the ability to quickly perform nano-surgury by cutting traces or adding metal connections at the chip level and is able to deliver these prototype changes quickly and cost effectively.
Recently we have seen an increase in use of this service to rework a large amount of chips that would previously been scrapped. This has proven to be very cost effective for our clients as it allows them to prevent having to delay shipments to their customers. This can help with critical early customer samples, downstream system tests and further debug efforts. This can help recapture some of the supply chain delay downtime and keep critical projects moving.
EAG Laboratories has been able to assist our customers with Circuit Edits on geometries at the single digit nanometer scale and has helped many companies to allow for the ability to generate hundreds of edited samples for customer demonstrations, and continued development and engineering tests.
Contact EAG today to find out how we can be flexible in our offering to provide a strong integrated approach with failure analysis and debug tied to ATE test, reliability, ESD and materials characterizations
EAG’s material and microelectronic testing service is dedicated to providing the best information from ensuring the purity of starting materials, to prototype testing of devices in the ramp up towards full-scale production.
LA-ICP-MS is a technique that uses direct micro-scale sampling to provide high precision elemental characterization of solid materials.
Unwanted chemical impurities can be problematic. GDMS is a powerful full survey analysis tool for chemical purity evaluations.
Highly complex chemistry materials such as geological materials, minerals and ceramics, a specialized sample preparation is used. For these types of materials, fusion sample preparation is used to increase precision and accuracy for data collection.
