Feature
As semiconductor packages grow smaller and become more highly integrated, there is a growing need to locate faults non-destructively and with a high degree of precision. Therefore, it is necessary to have a system that can easily create the optimal analysis environment according to diverse fault analysis conditions.
The TDR analysis of the TS9001 TDR system conducts rapid, high-precision, and non-destructive analysis of faulty areas of the wires in cutting-edge semiconductor packages, electronic components, and printed boards by performing high-resolution TDR measurement (time domain reflectometry) utilizing our proprietary short pulse signal processing technology.

TDR Measurement Utilizing THz Technology
Problem in fault analysis using the oscilloscope TDR ⇒ Large error gap in locating fault points
Step response waveforms are used for the probe signals used for the analysis.
The starting points of the amplitude change of the TDR waveforms obtained from good and faulty products are identified as fault points. However, the starting points are unclear, so there is a large error gap in locating the fault points.
By using impulse waveforms for probe signals, fault points are identified easily at pulse peaks (intuitively).
Fault analysis of highly integrated LSI packages
1. Fault analysis of the wiring in packages
Determines whether a wiring fault point is in the Si Interposer or the package
Identifies whether the fault was caused by a factor in the pre-process or post-process
2. Si Interposer mounting (C4 Bump) fault analysis
Identifies and analyzes the conditions for mounting the Si Interposer by using a test vehicle
Performs fault point analysis of the daisy chain structure on the test vehicle and
gives feedback to the mounting conditions.
3. Laminated memory mounting (TSV, Micro-Bump) fault analysis
Identifies faulty layers of a laminated chip
4. Wiring fault analysis of printed boards
Identifies fault points of the vias and signal lines in stacked boards

Usage example 1. Normalization calculation
By aligning the waveform levels and phases of the reference (good product) and sample (faulty product) and obtaining the difference, it is possible to extract only the characteristics of the sample waveform.
The waveform characteristics that are common between good and faulty products are canceled, which emphasizes only the characteristics of the faulty product.
Usage example 2. Peak detection function
Finds peaks that meet the conditions from the waveform and displays markers on the waveform. Detecting the peaks makes it easy to locate faults.
Detection is performed by
specifying the polarity and threshold value of the peak to be detected. The detected peaks are indicated with markers. The marker positions are displayed in a list.
