A scanned optical system for use in optical probing applications provides a large
Field of View (FOV) for objective lenses having high Numerical Aperture (NA), such
as Solid Immersion Lenses (SIL's). This enables high resolution imaging of semiconductor
devices for such applications as laser probing, TIVA/LIVA, OBIRCH, and photon emission
timing analysis. A hybrid scanning optics configuration is disclosed to provide
high resolution imaging over a small area along with low resolution imaging over
a large area.
