This bundle of whitepapers explores the latest advancements in semiconductor packaging technology, which are driving enhanced system performance beyond traditional transistor scaling. With increasing density, shrinking interconnects, and more complex package architectures, new challenges have emerged for fault isolation, non-destructive imaging, and physical failure analysis (PFA) workflows. Innovations in 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM) and AI-enabled reconstruction now push past traditional limits in throughput, image quality, field of view, and resolution. However, as interconnect dimensions continue to shrink to the micron scale or below, advanced packages still rely on PFA for accurate analysis.

This collection highlights ZEISS’s novel correlative workflow, which integrates 3D XRM with focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) enhanced by short-pulsed lasers. This workflow facilitates high-throughput, artifact-free sample preparation, precisely guiding cross-sectional analysis for deeply buried interconnects, cutting down sample preparation and analysis time from days to hours. Included in this compendium are recent publications and use cases that demonstrate how this workflow is transforming fault isolation and PFA for the semiconductor industry.
