JIACO Instruments

Patented Microwave Induced Plasma Decapsulation

Why are you looking for an alternative decapsulation method?

Decapsulating semiconductor devices has become increasingly challenging due to ever-changing materials, new bond wire types, and the growing complexity of package architectures. With one-off failures, highly valuable “golden samples” and stricter quality demands, the industry must evolve to meet rising customer expectations. 

What does a good decapsulation process need?

Traditional decapsulation methods such as wet chemical or acid etching often fall short, introducing artifacts, damaging devices, or even destroying original failure sites, ultimately making failure analysis results unreliable. 

To meet today’s requirements, a decapsulation process must offer high selectivity, preserve both samples and failure sites, and be fully automated.
