Advanced Semiconductor Failure Analysis with Neocera Magma
What Is Magnetic Field Imaging?
Magnetic field imaging is a powerful way to detect hidden defects in electronic components. When an electric current flows through an IC, it creates a magnetic field. Neocera Magma uses ultra-sensitive sensors to map this field and find issues like short circuits, open lines, or tiny leaks—without damaging the device.
How It Works
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Place Sample | Load a chip, wafer, or board into the system |
| 2. Cool Down | Cryogenic system enables sensor performance |
| 3. Scan | High-resolution scanning across the sample |
| 4. Analyze | Software highlights defect locations using magnetic field maps |

What Can It Analyze?
Magma is designed to analyze a wide range of electronics—from single chips to complex packages:
Wafers (including 300 mm)
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
3D Integrated Circuits (3D ICs)
System-in-Package (SiP)
Stacked Devices
Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs)
Today’s devices are more compact and complex than ever. Neocera Magma helps engineers find microscopic defects early—improving yield, reliability, and performance.
