The ultimate goal in failure analysis is to arrive at an accurate determination of the cause of the failure. To achieve this goal our electron microscopes and ion beam systems have been designed in close collaboration with Hitachi´s own semiconductor production to meet current and future failure analysis demands.
For example, using our unique micro-sampling technology and our dedicated STEM we can find even nanoscale failures in the shortest turnaround times.
Hitachi´s ultra-high resolution scanning electron microscopes have the same wellknown reliability of our inline systems and a defacto semiconductor standard in the physical failure analysis labs of the leading manufacturers.
