High Magnification Photos of ESD Damage

Seeing ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) damage is basically impossible. Damage to semiconductor device structure is NOT visible at ordinary magnifications of an optical microscope. If the microscope is capable of 1000X-1500X magnifications, you just might be able to “see” something. The method used, only occasionally as there is considerable expense, is by delayering and etch enhancement producing high magnification photographs using a scanning electron micrograph (SEM).

This is not HBM-ESD. Extensive damage on this transistor where the bond has melted is typical of surges from Inductors, Transformers, and Motors.

Arcing of this nature within an integrated circuit is typical of testing damage. Human Body Model ESD does not create sufficient damage to be seen in an optical microscope.

Now you see it!! Overlying glassivation has been removed and the surface decorated to show the ESD damage at 5,000 times magnification in this scanning electron micrograph.

Techniques used to locate HBM-ESD damage in an integrated circuit. Clockwise from the upper left optical photo at 400X shows no damage. The upper right hand scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows no damage.
The lower right hand image is the current flow in the device which shows a subsurface arc between the two metal lines. The lower left photo is a combination of the SEM image and the current flow image.
