Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of microelectronic reliability testing and failure technology, and more specifically, relates to an ultrasonic scanning imaging method and system for accurately locating the internal interface of a chip. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic scanning microscopy (USM) imaging is a key method for destructive physical analysis (DPA) of plastic-encapsulated integrated circuit (IC) electronic components. It exploits the differences in acoustic impedance, absorption, and reflection of ultrasonic waves due to the density of the material's internal structure. A specific acoustic component transmits and receives short, high-repetition-rate ultrasonic pulses. After the sound waves interact with the sample being tested, the reflected waves are received and converted into video signals. To form an acoustic image, the scanning mechanism moves back and forth over the sample. The intensity and phase of the reflected waves at each point on the sample are recorded sequentially and synchronously, converted into pixels with a specific grayscale value, and displayed on a high-resolution display.
[0003] Ultrasonic scanning can perform non-destructive testing of defects such as inclusions, cracks, air stratification and voids inside semiconductor devices, enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of internal material defects. It is an important part of the destructive physical analysis (DPA) test of electronic components.
[0004] Conventional ultrasonic scanning of semiconductor devices requires adjusting the vertical position of the acoustic probe to obtain the device's reflected wave, and then achieving clear ultrasonic imaging of the specific layer interface through reflected wave band selection and focusing. Due to the differences in external package size, thickness and material of different components, the location of the reflected wave also varies greatly. In addition, the internal structure of the components is different, and the distance between the chip layer, adhesive layer, substrate and pin layer and the package surface will vary. When performing ultrasonic scanning on these specific interfaces, a large amount of repeated band selection and focus adjustment is required to obtain clear imaging of the corresponding layer. Depending on the different components and the operator's experience and ability, the entire debugging process takes from several hours to a day, which is very time-consuming, especially when ultrasonic scanning tests need to be performed on different types of components.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0055] On the one hand, the present invention provides an ultrasonic scanning imaging method for accurately locating the internal interface of a chip, wherein the working diagram of ultrasonic scanning imaging is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0056] S1: Perform DPA routine test items on the external visual inspection of the integrated circuit electronic components to be tested, and measure and record the thickness of the integrated circuit electronic components to be tested. The thickness is T. This data can also be obtained by referring to other characterization methods or device data;
[0057] S2: In the DPA routine test, X-rays are used to perform a lateral scan of the IC component under test, and then the chip or substrate layer is located. The distance D (the thickness of the packaging material) from the layer to the top surface of the chip is measured and recorded. The chip or substrate layer and the top surface of the IC component under test are encapsulated with packaging material. The IC component under test is placed at the bottom of a water tank during ultrasonic scanning and imaging.
[0058] S3: Determine the appropriate frequency transducer based on the thickness of the integrated circuit electronic component to be tested and find the transducer's focal length F. The relationship between probe frequency and focal length is known and can be provided by the equipment manufacturer, as shown in Table 1.
