A system for probe-less non-invasive detection of electrical signals from
integrated circuit devices is disclosed. The system includes an
illumination source, collection optics, imaging optics, and a photon
sensor. In a navigation mode, the light source is activated and the
imaging optics is used to identify the target area on the chip and
appropriately position the collection optics. Once the collection optics
is appropriately positioned, the light source is deactivated and the
photon sensor is used to detect photons emitted from the chip. No mention
of cooling (active device measurement capability) and advanced optics to
detect the features (SIL).
