Publication number: 20230087835Abstract: The semiconductor failure analysis device includes: a light source configured to generate irradiation light with which the semiconductor device is irradiated; a solid immersion lens disposed on an optical path of the irradiation light; a light detection unit configured to receive reflected light and to output a detection signal according to the reflected light; an optical system 6 disposed between the light source and the solid immersion lens to emit the irradiation light to the semiconductor device via the solid immersion lens and disposed between the solid immersion lens and the light detection unit to emit the reflected light received via the solid immersion lens to the light detection unit. The light source emits the irradiation light having a center wavelength of 880 nm or more and 980 nm or less. The solid immersion lens is formed of GaAs.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Masataka IKESU, Ikuo ARATA, Yoshihiro ITO, Toshimichi ISHIZUKA

Publication number: 20230072615Abstract: A semiconductor failure analysis device includes an analysis part that analyzes a failure place in a semiconductor device; a marking part that irradiates the semiconductor device with laser light; a device arrangement part in which a wafer chuck, which holds the semiconductor device and on which an alignment target is provided, moves relative to the analysis part and the marking part; and a control part that outputs commands. The control part moves the wafer chuck to a position at which the analysis part is capable of taking an image of the alignment target, then outputs an alignment command that causes the marking part to be aligned with the analysis part with the alignment target as a reference, and irradiates the semiconductor device with laser light in a state in which a positional relationship between the marking part and the analysis part is maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2020Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Masataka IKESU, Shinsuke SUZUKI

Publication number: 20210333216Abstract: A solid immersion lens unit includes a solid immersion lens having a contact surface for coming into contact with semiconductor device formed of a silicon substrate and a spherical surface to be disposed to face an objective lens; a holder holding the solid immersion lens; and an optical element held by the holder to be positioned between the objective lens and the solid immersion lens. The solid immersion lens transmits light having at least a part of wavelength in a range of 200 nm or greater and 1100 nm or lower. The optical element corrects aberration caused by a difference in refractive indices between the silicon substrate and the solid immersion lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2019Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Xiangguang MAO, Masanori KOBAYASHI, Hirotoshi TERADA, Ikuo ARATA, Masataka IKESU
