View page
US Patent:
6352871, Mar 5, 2002
Filed:
Sep 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/409089
Inventors:
Rama R. Goruganthu - Austin TX
Jeffrey D. Birdsley - Austin TX
Michael R. Bruce - Austin TX
Brennan V. Davis - Austin TX
Rosalinda M. Ring - Austin TX
Glen Gilfeather - Del Valle TX
Assignee:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
H01L 2166
US Classification:
438 18, 324754
Abstract:
The ability to excite virtually any portion of semiconductor device is enhanced via a grid formed for exciting circuitry in the semiconductor device. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a grid having a plurality of narrow probe points is formed extending over target circuitry in a semiconductor device. The grid is accessed and used for exciting various target circuitry within the device by exciting the part of the grid that corresponds to the portion of the target circuitry to which access is desired.

Method And Arrangement For Characterization Of Focused-Ion-Beam Insulator Deposition

View page
US Patent:
6372627, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:
Aug 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/383790
Inventors:
Rosalinda M. Ring - Austin TX
Susan Li - Fremont CA
Glen Gilfeather - Del Valle TX
Assignee:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
H01L 217463
US Classification:
438622, 438624, 438 18
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the disclosure and a particular example application directed to a flip-chip packaged die, a method for acquiring a signal from a target node in the circuit side includes removing substrate via the back side of the die to form an access area over the target node. A material is deposited in the access area over the target node in such a way to form simultaneously a conductive core and an immediately adjacent insulator. The conductive core is then used to couple a test signal between the target node and the conductive core. Other aspects of the disclosure include using a focused ion-beam system to provide varying concentrations of Gallium in forming simultaneously the conductive core and the immediately adjacent insulator. These aspects significantly lessen integrated circuit analysis and testing procedures.

US Patent:
6469529, Oct 22, 2002
Filed:
May 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/580716
Inventors:
Michael R. Bruce - Austin TX
Rama R. Goruganthu - Austin TX
Glen Gilfeather - Del Valle TX
Assignee:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G01R 31302
US Classification:
324752, 324750
Abstract:
Integrated circuit devices are analyzed using an integrated system adapted to obtain time-resolved information from the back side of a silicon based semiconductor chip using hot carrier emissions. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a system is adapted to analyze a semiconductor device under test (DUT) using a plurality of sensors mounted to a microscope having an objective lens. The plurality of sensors include a global acquisition sensor, a single-point acquisition sensor, and a navigation sensor. The integrated system is adapted to use the plurality of sensors individually and simultaneously. The integrated system improves the analysis of the DUT for reasons including that it makes possible the performance of more than one type of analysis simultaneously using a single test arrangement.

Repair Of Resistive Electrical Connections In An Integrated Circuit

View page
US Patent:
6566888, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Apr 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/833250
Inventors:
Michael R. Bruce - Austin TX
Glen Gilfeather - Del Valle TX
Rama R. Goruganthu - Austin TX
Assignee:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G01R 3108
US Classification:
324525, 324760, 257773, 438 18
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the repair of resistive circuitry in an integrated circuit die having a multitude of circuit paths. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor die having a resistive electrical connection is analyzed. The location of a circuit portion in the die having a resistive electrical connection is identified. Using the identified location, the resistive circuit portion is annealed and the resistivity of that circuit portion is reduced. The reduced resistivity improves the ability of the die to operate at high speeds, and makes possible the repair and subsequent use of the die in various applications.

According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor die analysis system includes a test chamber and a docking arrangement adapted to dock with the test chamber. A die is held in the docking arrangement and is presented inside of the test chamber when the docking arrangement is docked with the chamber. Two or more perturbation devices are used to perturb the die, and controller is adapted to control the perturbation. A data acquisition arrangement receives data from the die in response to the perturbation, and the data is used for analyzing the die.
