State-of-the-art laser ablation (LA) depth-profiling techniques (e.g. LA-ICP-MS, LIBS, and LIMS) allow for chemical composition analysis of solid materials with high spatial resolution at micro- nanometer levels. Accurate determination LA-volume is essential to correlate the recorded information specific location inside sample. In this contribution, we demonstrate two novel approaches towards a better quantitative LA craters dimensions micrometer level formed by femtosecond-LA processes on...

Through-silicon-via (TSV) technology enables 3D integration of multiple 2D components in advanced microchip architectures. Key the TSV fabrication is an additive-assisted Cu electroplating process which additives employed may get embedded body. This incorporation negatively influences reliability and durability interconnects. Here, we present a novel approach toward chemical analysis TSVs based on femtosecond laser ablation ionization mass spectrometry (fs-LIMS). The conditions for LIMS...

Abstract Accumulation of spectra is a common approach for improvement the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) in mass spectrometry. However, severe degradation overall spectrum can occur if some individual spectra, affected by peak broadening, are included accumulation process. In this contribution, we discuss potential sources and effects spectral distortions using examples from acquired our miniature laser ablation/ionisation time‐of‐flight spectrometer. We show how recent developments acquisition...

State-of-the-art three-dimensional very large-scale integration (3D-VLSI) relies, among other factors, on the purity of high-aspect-ratio Cu interconnects such as through-silicon-vias (TSVs). Accurate spatial chemical analysis electroplated TSV structures has been proven to be challenging due their large aspect ratios and multimaterial composition (Cu Si) with distinct physical properties. Here, we demonstrate that these can accurately analyzed by femtosecond (fs) laser beam ablation...
