Abstract title

Semiconductor package miniaturization, what is needed to perform Failure Analysis on complex 3D packages
Thijs Kempers, MASER Engineering B.V.

Abstract

Semiconductor packages are becoming more and more complex. To get more functionality on the same footprint, smaller 3D packages are needed. The complexity of the new 3D packages will bring new challenges when it comes to performing Failure Analysis. A wider variety of techniques and a lot more steps are needed to analyse the failure compared to a standard semiconductor package. These additional steps are needed to prevent losing the failure during the analysis. This presentation will show an overview of the techniques needed to perform Failure analysis on complex packages and the challenges we have encountered.
