With time-to-yield being critical to profitability, it is too costly for advanced foundries, integrated device manufacturers and fabless companies to wait until after dicing and packaging to identify the source of electrical faults. The Thermo Scientific™ Meridian™ WS-DP system enables faster defect localization by using production testers, load boards, and probe cards. All diagnostic options from the Meridian product line are available for the Meridian WS-DP, including: LVx, emission, LADA, and OBIRCH.
Options
Laser voltage imaging
Laser voltage imaging (LVI), shows the physical locations of transistors that are active at a specific frequency on the Meridian-IV.
CW laser voltage probing
Continuous wave laser voltage probing (CW-LVP) acquires functional waveform data on the Meridian-IV system.
The Meridian WS-DP system provides: - Ability to identify systematic defects
- Significantly increased electrical measurement throughput
