Advanced semiconductor failure analysis using submicron IR spectroscopy

Revealing submicron chemical analysis of contamination and defects

Join Dr. Solehah Jasmee, Senior Engineer at the MIMOS Failure Analysis Lab, for an upcoming webinar exploring how submicron IR (O-PTIR) spectroscopy is enabling advanced semiconductor failure analysis through sub-micron chemical characterization of contamination, defects, residues, and challenging microelectronic features.

Unlike traditional FTIR methods that often require contact with an ATR crystal or impose constraints on sample geometry, O-PTIR is a non-contact, reflection-mode technique that enables high-resolution IR chemical analysis directly from the sample surface. With sub-micron spatial resolution and multimodal capabilities, O-PTIR can provide complementary chemical, optical, and Raman information from the same region of interest, helping analysts better understand complex failure mechanisms.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how O-PTIR can help with:
  • Non-contact chemical analysis without the need for ATR contact with FTIR trans/ATR like spectra
  • Reflection-mode analysis of semiconductor samples and microelectronic devices
  • Sub-micron identification of particles, residues, films, and localized defects
  • Multimodal characterization combining IR, Fluorescence imaging, optical imaging, and Raman capabilities
  • Improved root-cause analysis of contamination and defect-related failures
Who should attend:
  • Semiconductor failure analysis engineers
  • Process engineers
  • Materials characterization scientists
  • Analytical lab teams
  • Quality and reliability engineers
  • and anyone working on contamination control, yield improvement, or root-cause analysis in microelectronics.
