Method for global die thinning and polishing of flip-chip packaged integrated circuits
Chun-Cheng Tsao,John Valliant +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the flip-chip packaged die is exposed at its backside and mounted on a lapping machine with the backside exposed, and the thickness of the die is measured at at least five locations on the die.

PICA: Backside failure analysis of CMOS circuits using Picosecond Imaging Circuit Analysis
M.K. Mc Manus,Jeffrey A. Kash,Steven E. Steen,Stas Polonsky,James C. Tsang,Daniel R. Knebel,William V. Huott +6 more
TL;DR: The Picosecond Imaging Circuit Analysis (PICA) as discussed by the authors is a new optical imaging technique combining imaging with timing, spatially resolving individual devices at the 0.5 micron level and switching events on a 10 picosecond timescale.
