Research abstract

To address the DMEAs need to perform failure analysis on microelectronic components using infrared microscope systems to locate areas of interest and then navigate accurately to these same locations in a focused ion beam tool, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Laser Alignment and Infrared Inspection (LAIRI) system. It is based upon the integration of a state-of-the-art commercial infrared inspection system with a laser system for creation of fiducial marks on the item under inspection. The LAIRI system will allow the rapid and accurate marking of electronic components with three or more fiducial marks that will be visible in infrared inspection tools and focused ion beam tools and for which the relative position of the fiducial marks is accurately known. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate the feasibility of LAIRI by validating the marking method and developing designs for integration with IR inspection systems reaching technology readiness level (TRL)-3. In Phase II, POC plans to build two prototype systems for delivery with proof samples.
