India, Oct. 7 -- Hamamatsu Photonics has developed the iPHEMOS-DDX, an inverted emission microscope designed for failure analysis of advanced semiconductor packages, including AI chiplets, high bandwidth memory (HBM), 2.5D/3D packages, and large-scale semiconductor packages.

The semiconductor industry is rapidly advancing with the growth of generative AI, driving increased performance in AI chips while making device structures increasingly complex and highly miniaturized. As package structures become more complex, identifying failure locations becomes increasingly difficult, creating demand for highly accurate and efficient failure analysis technologies such as the iPHEMOS-DDX inverted emission microscope.

The iPHEMOS-DDX system enables...
