for article titled, Tin Whisker Risk Assessment for Space Systems
Tin whiskers are single-crystal filaments that can grow from tin-plated copper or nickel components. This article discusses the effect of plating thickness, composition, and grain size on tin whisker formation and explains how to assess damage potential based on microanalysis, whisker length distribution models, and metal vapor arc risk factors. The authors also present and analyze several examples of failures caused by tin whisker formation in space systems.

for article titled, Backside Infrared Imaging of Integrated Circuits Using Refraction-Assisted Illumination
This article demonstrates a simple and robust backside illumination method for infrared imaging of ICs. The technique uses oblique illumination, which removes surface noise components while providing bright-field illumination under the surface, and requires only modest if any polishing of the backside of the substrate. As the examples in the article show, it can be implemented with a standard microscope with IR optics, yielding high contrast, high resolution images without the need for complex lenses, AR coatings, or sophisticated scanning electronics.

Infrared backside imaging using refraction assisted illumination (RAIL) allows for imaging microelectronic devices at high contrast and resolution through 700 microns of silicon without the need for specialized optics or coatings. However, due to the angle of illumination, not all of the metal features are equally illuminated. In this paper we present improvements on this method through image composition of a series of RAIL images taken at various illumination directions. The resultant composited image provides more uniform illumination and better approximates the features seen in scanning laser confocal microscopy.
