Abstract

See full text

A circuit is tested for latch-up by scanning an optical beam across the surface, supplying power to the integrated circuit, monitoring the power of the power supply, and detecting latch-up in the integrated circuit by capturing an image of the integrated circuit when the power reaches a predetermined threshold. The captured image is compared with a baseline image to determine where latch-up occurs in the circuit.
