IC Testing Course Performed in Industrial and Research Environment

摘要

In advanced IC technologies, the test of devices and integrated circuits is a fundamental step in process development, devices characterisation, process monitoring, reliability investigation and failure analysis. For the electrical test, a certain class of instruments is widely used, e.g. semiconductor parameter analysers, LCR-meters and impedance analysers, network analysers, digital oscilloscopes, function generators and spectrum analysers. A training course for students in microelectronics concerning this equipment would be desirable, but is not always possible because of the high price of these instruments. Another approach is presented, entitled "advanced instrumentation training course". It is addressed especially to the third year IUP GEII students who need a good practical expertise of advanced industrial equipment in electronics.
