The usual workflow for physical failure analysis involves delayering with chip deprocessing and defect isolation using electrical characterisation such as nanoprobing and conductive AFM, followed by defect characterisation through visualisation and material analysis in TEM. The TESCAN S8000X is the platform of choice for deprocessing sub-20 nm nodes essential in FEoL developing workflow processes in modern semiconductor fabs and foundries.
