Solution for reducing time to market for new design

Circuit Edit

When developing new product, having your 1^st silicon, you want to jump over any design issue and validate your new design from your first silicon

Unfortunately, first design is likely containing design challenges. When problem is identified on your silicon, next steps would be to rebuilt your prototype, unless you have a solution to physically edit your circuit.

In order to succeed, solution needs to enable fix, through appropriate design correction & to allow  electrical validation of your circuit

Solution for efficient editing of your pattern

Technically, FIB cut and milling, then depositing adequate material is the circuit edit solution. Key requirements are for success rate & time to edit.

More complex designs and new process and device technology make circuit edit increasingly difficult

• More metal layers make deeper metal layer to be not accessible
• Smaller geometry forces higher aspect ratio FIB operations
• Copper planes take >>10x more time to etch and Aluminum
• Very thin isolation layers

Practically, advanced technologies need down to 10nm are for:

• A sharp knife – high aspect ratio cut and deposition  - enable feasibility of the edit
• Chemistry – for milling/ fill – especially for Copper – ensure best time to results

Sector Technologies offer solutions for

• Edit your circuit, with precision milling and deposition solution, adapting  chemistry to your product needs
  • For more information on our solution for high success rate & short time per edit, Optifib Taipan for front side and back side for 10nm and beyond.

• Accessing to your silicon, through package or silicon, thanks for fast and clean cut solution, with additional deposition solutions
  • For more information, check VarioEdit, the unique LACE (Laser assisted Chemical Etching) solution, and find out how its fast and clean cut can be key value for your time to edit success.
