CAM Workshop - Failure Analysis and Material Diagnostics of Electronic Components      

The CAM Workshop takes place on 19-20 May 2026 in Halle, Germany. Organized by Fraunhofer IMWS, the event focuses on failure analysis, material diagnostics, and advanced packaging in semiconductor devices, with attention to heterogeneous integration and system reliability. 

May 19-20, 2026

About the Event

The workshop addresses analytical methods used in semiconductor failure analysis and diagnostics of electronic components. Key topics include defect localization, materials characterization, and process validation in advanced packaging and chip-level integration.

It provides a technical platform for discussing how microscopy, sample preparation, and cross-sectioning workflows support reliability and yield improvement in microelectronics.

Tescan at the Event

Tescan participates as a co-organizer, with a focus on semiconductor analysis workflows and high-throughput sample preparation.

At the workshop, Tescan presents:

Featured Technologies:

  • Tescan Femto – laser-assisted sample preparation for fast, precise material removal

  • FIB-SEM workflows – site-specific cross-sectioning and defect analysis

  • Micro-CT (m-CT) – non-destructive inspection of packaged devices and internal structures

These approaches support efficient failure analysis, especially in complex semiconductor devices and advanced packaging architectures.
