Abstract
We demonstrate how electro optical terahertz pulse reflectometry (EOTPR) can be used in conjunction with a new one-dimensional lump circuit simulation software to quickly and non-destructively isolate faults in advanced IC packages. In the case studies presented, short failures are accurately located in a series of advanced IC package.
