20120098957 | LOCK IN THERMAL LASER STIMULATION THROUGH ONE SIDE OF THE DEVICE WHILE ACQUIRING LOCK-IN THERMAL EMISSION IMAGES ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE - Controlled amount of heat is injected into a stacked die using a light beam, and the propagated heat is measuring with LIT camera from the other side of the die. The thermal image obtained can be characterized so that it can be used to calibrate the phase shift from a given stack layer, or can be used to identify defects in the stacked die. The process can be repeated for each die in the stack to generate a reference for future testing. The thermal image can be investigated to detect faults, such as voids in vias, e.g., TSV. | 04-26-2012 |

20150293037 | SPECTRAL MAPPING OF PHOTO EMISSION - An apparatus and method for optical probing of a DUT is disclosed. The system enables identifying, localizing and classifying faulty devices within the DUT. A selected area of the DUT is imaged while the DUT is receiving test signals, which may be static or dynamic, i.e., causing certain of the active devices to modulate. Light from the DUT is collected and is passed through a transparent diffracting grating prior to imaging it by a sensor and converting it into an electrical signal. The resulting image includes the zero order and first order diffraction of the grating. The grating is configured such that the zero order is in registration with emission sites imaged when the grating is outside the optical path. | 10-15-2015 |

20090045871 | Device for demodulating a signal containing information being conveyed by phase shift keying - The invention relates to a device for demodulating an input signal containing information being conveyed by phase modulation of a carrier wave. A transmitter generates a signal controlling a phase variation in the carrier wave, for each symbol having N cycles, N being an integer strictly greater than 1. The phase variation stretches on the receiver side over n cycles, n being an integer greater than 1 and less than N. The device generates a single pulse for each symbol received suited to generate the leading edge of the pulse corresponding to the symbol considered after a constant duration from the moment the symbol considered starts; and generates the trailing edge of the pulse considered at a moment the phase shift corresponding to the symbol considered has to be measured. Conversion means generate an output signal with a voltage varying as a function of the duration of the pulse produced. | 02-19-2009 |

20130154756 | METHOD FOR THE PHASE MODULATION OF A CARRIER SIGNAL TRANSMITTED FROM A TRANSMITTER TO A CONTACTLESS TRANSPONDER, AND DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING SAME - A method for phase modulation of a carrier signal from a transmitter to a contactless transponder in which data is coded as consecutive symbols, each corresponding to a predefined number of carrier cycles, and in which a symbol time is at least two cycles of the carrier signal includes, at the transmitter, spreading a phase jump of a symbol in relation to a preceding symbol over a first part of the symbol time. The establishment of the phase jump is completed in the first part of the symbol time. The periods of the cycles are constant during a second part of the symbol time. | 06-20-2013 |
