edfas.org ELECTRONIC DEVICE FAILURE ANALYSIS | VOLUME 27 NO. 3 42 PULSE2-300 PULSER/RECEIVER AND TRANSDUCERS New products from Sonix include the Pulse2-300 pulser/receiver and a range of 300 MHz transducers made for the Echo scanning acoustic microscope. The Echo scanning acoustic microscope is a robust, universal, ultrasonic flaw detector for over-molded single die packages, bare flip chips, and other standard applications. This instrument provides a universal inspection tool for packaged semiconductor development, production, and failure analysis. The Pulse2-300 pulser/receiver and 300 MHz transducers give the ability to detect air defects as thin as 0.05 micron and spatially resolve defects down to 10 microns, making the Echo perfect for bump detection, stacked die (3D packaging) inspection, complex flip chip inspection, as well as inspection of more traditional plastic packages. PRODUCT NEWS Ted Kolasa, Northrop Grumman ted.kolasa@gmail.com PRESS RELEASE SUBMISSIONS: MAGAZINES@ASMINTERNATIONAL.ORG VULCAN AUTOMATED LAB FOR PROCESS DEVELOPMENT The Thermo Scientific Vulcan Automated Lab is designed to drive a new era of process development and control in semiconductor manufacturing. The seamlessly integrated system enhances productivity, increases yield, and reduces operating costs for semiconductor manufacturers. The Vulcan Automated Lab delivers high-volume metrology data. The rapid evolution and miniaturization of semiconductor technology is leading to unprecedented demand for atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy (TEM) metrology data. The Vulcan Automated Lab represents a step change in atomic-scale data acquisition by integrating robotic handling with artificial intelligence-enhanced instruments for semiconductor analysis. This enables consistent and efficient standards for TEM metrology workflows, while delivering high-volume data of exceptional quality and reducing operator burden. The solution has also been designed to help address the time-to-data gap resulting from traditional TEM analysis methods. By streamlining metrology data collection using a combination of materials handling automation and data connectivity, the Thermo Scientific Vulcan Automated Lab accelerates the data collection process and creates an integrated workflow between the semiconductor lab and the fabrication facility. The Vulcan Automated Lab is made to interface seamlessly with the Helios 6 HXS FIB-SEM or the Metrios 6 STEM instruments. For more information, visit thermofisher.com.
