Abstract
Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) capacitors are extensively used in many microelectronic products such as BICMOS for automotive radar applications, but failure analysis process is very laborious due to peculiar structure. In this paper a possible fault isolation process flow was shown in a failure analysis case study. In particular due to the fact that it is a customer return device, many checks were done in fault isolation steps before physical analyses. Finally a FIB cross section was performed on OBIRCH hot spot and the results confirmed the validity of the fault isolation process.
