Abstract
This paper presents the failure analysis steps that localized and revealed the embedded Zn-Mo particle bridging two adjacent metal traces on a non-passivated MOSFET chip by using backside TIVA, frontside parallel polishing and EDX. TIVA emission spot localized between two metal traces indicates a high probability of particle defect.
