Abstract:Traditional microprobing on conventional wirebonded packages is difficult on sub-micron feature sizes. The problem becomes even more complex with flip-chip packaged devices as access to circuitry is limited because of the substrate silicon. We describe here an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) based tool for microprobing that we term “nanoprobing” because of the feature sizes that can be probed with this tool. Three applications have been described here where voltage levels or waveforms are measured. These include… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
