The Thermo Scientific Meridian 7 system provides visible light laser voltage imaging (LVI) and probing (LVP) and dynamic laser stimulation (DLS/LADA) on sub-10nm devices. By avoiding a requirement for ultra-thin substrates, it preserves the integrity and functionality of the device under test to provide a reliable and practical production solution. It offers a 25 percent optical resolution enhancement over the previous-generation system and has a smaller spot size for better fault localization. In addition, the Meridian 7 offers more certainty in navigation and Design GDS/CAD overlay, less cross-talk and higher waveform signal-to-noise over its predecessor.
The Thermo Scientific Meridian 7 is available in two configurations:
- Meridian 7D: Combined 1064nm and 785nm dual-SIL laser scanning microscope (LSM) system
- Meridian 7S: 785nm-only LSM system with optional advanced sample cooling, for high-speed testing where sample thermal management may be necessary to prevent thermal runaway from altering chip performance
