VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
X-ray Microscopy 201: Using Your X-ray Microscope for Semiconductor & Electronics Applications
January 27, 2022 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PST
This workshop is an introductory course for users of ZEISS Xradia Versa X-ray microscopes focused on electronics samples. This is a 3-hour workshop with a short break during which participants conduct optional hands-on operation on their own instruments.
Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:
- Best practices for sample mounting for electronic devices and packages: selecting the best sample holders and positioning your region of interest or fault within the field of view
- Scout and Zoom: a multiscale 3D imaging approach to navigate and visualize your region of interest
- Optimizing scan parameters for data quality and speed: sample rotation angle, drift correction, number of projections, intensity, and high aspect ratio tomography (HART)
- Optimizing results using manual reconstruction: center shift and beam hardening corrections
15-minute break
- Q & A
The attendees are expected to be familiar with the general procedure of setting up tomography scans on Xradia Versa.
Who should attend?
- XRM users focused on electronic device characterization, semiconductor package development or failure analysis
- Active users of ZEISS Xradia Versa instruments
- Infrequent Versa users in need of a refresh on scan setup and optimization
- Lab managers or technicians looking to improve their own skill level to better support and/or train other users of the instrument
Learning Objectives
After completion of this workshop, attendees should
After completion of this workshop, attendees should
