A Survey of Detection Methods for Die Attachment and Wire Bonding Defects in Integrated Circuit Manufacturing [PDF]
Defect detection plays a vital role in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits (ICs). Die attachment and wire bonding are two steps of the manufacturing process that determine the power and signal transmission quality and dependability in an IC.

Automatic Integrated Circuit Die Positioning in the Scanning Electron Microscope [PDF]
AbstractIn scanning electron microscope (SEM)‐based integrated circuit (IC) failure analysis, there is often a need for manual location of a prespecified failure site in several ICs. Such a procedure is both tedious and time consuming. This paper presents a new vision‐based die positioning system that can automatically locate a specified failure site ...

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of automating ‘die-polygon-capturing’, an economical yet still labor-intensive technique for circuit extraction during the reverse-engineering of simple integrated circuits. As microchip designs become increasingly diverse with the ongoing trend of using application-specific integrated ...

In this paper we report a single mode InAs/GaAs quantum dot distributed feedback laser at 1.3 μm wavelength heterogeneously integrated on a Si photonics waveguide circuit. Single mode lasing around 1300 nm with a side-mode suppression ratio higher than 40 dB is demonstrated. High temperature operation with continuous wave lasing up to 100°C is obtained.
