SEM examination of metallization, glassivation analysis, thorough precap inspection, electrical burn-in and DPA procedures will identify the respective problems. Old-age failures are usually related to either transient phenomena, such as ESD or EOS, mechanical shock, thermal excursions or chemical reactions, such as corrosion.

RGAs can also be used as sensitive in-situ leak detectors, usually using helium. RGAs are usually mounted directly onto, and into, the vacuum chamber. RGAs perform various functions which would be difficult to obtain by other methods, including: the analysis of various gas-phase reactions; monitoring changes that occur in any gas environment; detecting vacuum leaks; and, checking mass flow controllers.
The RGA effectively determines the chemical components of the gas within a vacuum, by ionising the various gases present to create ions before determining their mass-to-charge ratio. This guarantees a high level of confidence in trace level analyses.
The fast response capillary inlet design allows the system to capture data points per second for near real-time analyses. Available in either benchtop or rack-mounted configurations, the Cirrus 3-XD is ideal for in-line monitoring and analysis of trace contaminants in process gases, including solvent vapors, hydrocarbons, atmospheric and inorganic gas species including corrosives , freons, and noble gases.

Residual gas analysis is the analysis of low levels of residual gas that remain in a vacuum chamber following pump down. Functional components of a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Modern RGAs utilize quadrupole mass spectrometry as their underlying operational principle.
Figure 2. Designed specifically for simplicity in installation and operation, EasyView is an interactive, ICON-driven package with many advanced data display and data storage capabilities.
Figure 3. Comprised of sensor hardware, a tool connectivity module, and software for real-time control and web-based data review, TOOLweb RGA monitors the tool chamber environment both during and between periods of wafer processing and after a pump-down. It can function as either a stand-alone tool-level controller or as a component in a tool group or fab-wide installation.
TOOLweb RGA enables complete reporting and alarming on both a per tool and cross tool basis with full tool and factory host integration capability. No, gravity is fine for baseballs but pretty useless for mass spectrometry.
So, what can we use? But if our plan is to use an electric or magnetic crossing field, we can't use neutral atoms and molecules. They won't respond. We must use an ionizer to kick out an electron from each molecule. Then, when we squirt those ions through, say, a crossing magnetic field, we are using identical technology to an electric motor. A magnetic mass spectrograph closely resembles our pitching machine analogy. Except here, the heaviest ions are bent least. No, the spelling is not wrong.
Unfortunately, making an analogy for this type of mass spectrometer is far from easy. But try this:. Now place the straws in a square parallel array with the holes facing the common axis.
Block one end of each straw and arrange for air to be blown and sucked alternately into opposing pairs. That is, 1 and 3 have air blown in them while 2 and 4 have air sucked out of them, then vice-versa. To polish the analogy a little, the straw pairs must have a bias. One pair, say 1 and 3, must always have a small continuous stream of air blowing in. The other pair, 2 and 4, must always have a small continuous stream of air being sucked out.
