Four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) is a spatially resolved electron diffraction technique that records the electron scattering distribution at each point of the electron beam raster, thereby producing a four-dimensional dataset. This second installment of this series presents applications of 4D-STEM, including measurements of crystal orientation and phase, short- and medium-range order, and internal electromagnetic fields.

This article is the third in a multi-part series describing techniques for thinning and polishing a highly warped die. Tighter thickness tolerance and thinner samples are always desired. The first article addressed global thinning of a sample. The second focused on the process and problems of thinning only the area of interest. This installment covers processes and considerations for both global and area of interest treatment and provides reference process recipes.

The EDFAS Die-Level Roadmap Committee was formed to identify forthcoming challenges related to electrical fault isolation within the next five years and collaborate with various stakeholders, including industry, academia, and tool vendors, to devise practical solutions. To that end, the team has pinpointed five critical areas of focus: (1) laser-based, photon emission, and thermal; (2) 2D/2.5D/3D packaging; (3) product yield, test, and diagnostics; (4) general (leading edge technologies); and (5) system level, analog/RF, and digital functional.
