Failure analysis reference guide

This multimedia, stand-alone failure analysis (FA) reference system provides chipmakers with new training methods and knowledge preservation for problem solving during semiconductor design, production, packaging, and field use. The FA Wizard software product integrates with major equipment categories and techniques used in FA labs, and is composed of three modules: a hierarchical, hypertext-linked process flowchart using standard flowcharting techniques that can be examined at either the graphic level or by interactive question-and-answer pages; a reference guide providing both general and explicit on-line FA reference and help for 65 FA techniques, supported by photos, bibliographic references, a 1200-word FA dictionary, and an on-line user`s manual; and a failure mechanism code providing a roadmap for 300 different mechanisms.
