Project Background
Various semiconductor materials and devices have been widely applied in aerospace vehicles, the medical field, and nuclear control systems. However, these microelectronic devices face challenges in strong radiation environments, such as space radiation and artificial radiation. Radiation affects their reliability and may lead to the failure of some or even the entire electronic system.Therefore, research on the radiation and radiation resistance performance of semiconductor materials and basic components would be required to ensure that these special microelectronic devices can work stably in harsh radiation environments.
Meanwhile, X-rays can penetrate substances and provide information about their internal structure and composition. Compared with common ionizing radiation of the same energy, X-rays are concerned more difficult to be shielded and will bring harm to the human body. Accordingly, it is particularly important to establish a safe, reliable, and multi-functional probe station system for X-ray irradiation testing of semiconductor electronic devices.
Integration Configuration
SEMISHARE Semiconductor X-ray Test Probe Station integrates the X-ray radiation system (including X-ray generator with high-voltage power supply and filament heating power supply, X-ray controller, X-ray tube, and water cooling system), probe station system (precision probe platform, low-light imaging system, stable shock-proof system), optical imaging system, and software automation control system organically. This integration is achieved through multi-axis electric motion, enabling sequential high-stability micro-probing and X-ray irradiation.
