The Thermo Scientific Meridian S System is designed to perform inverted photon emission (EMMI) and laser scanning microscopy analysis on devices stimulated by static bias via probe card or micro-probes. With the overall cost of ownership for the system being a critical aspect of profitability, the Meridian S System offers a range of photon emission options, dual-side probing flexibility and an upgrade path to dynamic optical fault isolation capabilities such as laser voltage imaging/probing and soft defect localization.
The Meridian S System is designed for use in failure analysis labs worldwide, aiding in:
- Identification of systematic process, design or integration issues
- Isolation of root cause for random electrical failures
