Summary:

This paper presents a novel 3D approach of nanoprobing for defect localization in flip-chip CMOS IC devices. By combining backside deprocessing and cross-sectioning, the device becomes accessible for electrical nanoprobing and physical characterization from all directions. This technique allows comprehensive defect localization and enables root-cause identification on challenging failures.
