Connect your FA equipment to your design layout and inspection data using our proven CAD navigation software solution - Merlin’s Framework. Merlin™ is a key tool for the new technologies and techniques including flip chips and back side fault isolation and analysis - helping FA engineers with root cause identification.
Merlin’s Framework consists of following applications:
Provides all viewing and manipulation functions for handling device layout graphics. The central application of Merlin’s Framework, Maskview is frequently customized to reflect a customer’s specific equipment environment and needs.
Extends the functionality of Maskview by adding views of netlist data and hierarchies that can be crossmapped to the Maskview layout image.
Facilitates fault localization and analysis by linking the logic design directly to the physical layout. The schematic options can create schematics when none is available and crossmap the design information with the device layout and netlist. Using a combination of Magma's powerful schematic options, FA and design engineers can work together to isolate and correct defects.
Provides viewing and manipulation functions for wafer map data. DWM also enables the integration of defect data with Maskview’s layouts by transferring defect coordinates from inspection equipment to Merlin’s databases. more...
Allows equipment CAD Navigation when analyzing memory chips by identifying the physical location of failing memory cells. It eliminates tedious screen counting by converting the logical address or row and column coordinates to the physical location.
