Kind words from our clients

We have done the fault localization on our device ourselves using Optical Beam Induced Resistance Change (OBIRCH). However we did not have the tools or the skills to do the destructive physical analysis (DPA). These guys of ChipRebel provided us clear images of the root cause but also resolved what kind of contamination it was. They did it accurately and fast. Meanwhile they have done several jobs for us, always satisfying.

They have done a terrific job on our multicore HFCBGA 28nm processor. Access for FIB Circuit Edit was only possible by pre-thinning the 700um thick silicon from the backside. Followed by silicon trenching to expose the N-wells to obtain access to the BEOL. It was great to have a company that could deal with all the steps and it really helped us getting our design verified before updating our masks.
