Advanced Semiconductor Failure Analysis with Submicron IR Spectroscopy

Join Dr. Solehah Jasmee, Senior Engineer at the MIMOS Failure Analysis Lab, for an upcoming webinar exploring how submicron IR (O-PTIR) spectroscopy is enabling advanced semiconductor failure analysis through sub-micron chemical characterization of contamination, defects, residues, and challenging microelectronic features.

Unlike traditional FTIR methods that often require contact with an ATR crystal or impose constraints on sample geometry, O-PTIR is a non-contact, reflection-mode technique that enables high-resolution IR chemical analysis directly from the sample surface. With sub-micron spatial resolution and multimodal capabilities, O-PTIR can provide complementary chemical, optical, and Raman information from the same region of interest, helping analysts better understand complex failure mechanisms.

In this Webinar, You’ll Learn How O-PTIR Can Help with:

  • Non-contact chemical analysis without the need for ATR contact with FTIR trans/ATR like spectra
  • Reflection-mode analysis of semiconductor samples and microelectronic devices
  • Sub-micron identification of particles, residues, films, and localized defects
  • Multimodal characterization combining IR, Fluorescence imaging, optical imaging, and Raman capabilities
  • Improved root-cause analysis of contamination and defect-related failures

Who Should Attend:

Semiconductor failure analysis engineers, process engineers, materials characterization scientists, analytical lab teams, quality and reliability engineers, and anyone working on contamination control, yield improvement, or root-cause analysis in microelectronics.

Register now to discover how O-PTIR spectroscopy can reveal chemical information that traditional techniques may miss – without contact, in reflection mode, and at sub-micron resolution.
