Description
Book SynopsisFault detection has become increasingly difficult as integrated circuits become more and more complex. Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM) is a physical failure analysis technique which locates and identifies faults in integrated circuits.
Trade Review"This reference details the principles of design, calibration, and use of photon emission microscopy (PEM) as a fault localization technique used for analyzing device reliability and failure." (SciTech Book News Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001)
