1st PRIZE
Polyimide surface after expose to reactive ion etching and sputter coating prior to SEM imaging create an art effect resembling “many people on a beach”.
“PEOPLE ON THE BEACH”by Lim Saw Sing, Infineon Technologies, Kulim Malaysia
2nd PRIZE
During fracture analysis of a silicon sample, the crack origin was identified at a series of chevron marks. These marks resemble a pair of wings, reminding the analyst that
the sky is the limit, at work and in life.
“WINGS”by Foo Fang Jie, Advanced Micro Devices
3rd PRIZE
This is a SEM picture of wafer-edge chipping. It gives a terrace image – step-like spectacular landforms overlooking many prospects.
“THE HOPE TERRACE”by Tan Lee Koon
Mysterious Jungle by Lim Chan Way, Infineon Technologies, Kulim Malaysia
This SEM image results from the adhesion between a carbon tape (bottom) and a membrane structure (top).
Happy Frog
by Lee Chee Hiong, Systems-on-Silicon Manufacturing Co.
This is a SEM image showing a “happy frog”. It has helped us complete the process . Now it is standing on the passivation layer looking forward to the next challenge.
Silver Sulfide Crystals
by Amy Ng & Angelina Lau, Micron Technology
This is a SEM image of silver sufide, Ag2S growth on a resistor network causing the resistance of the component to increase and eventually resulting in an ‘open signal’.
Lunar Eclipse
by Joel B. Hosmillo; Analog Devices
An optical image (dark field) of a capacitor in a 400 Hz low-pass filter, damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Big Nose by Wu Xing & Pey Kin Leong;
Singapore University of Design and Technology
The specimen was a resistive switching memory device consisting of Ni/HfO2/Si. The sample was subjected to electrical stressing while being monitored by a high
resolution TEM in situ. The heat generated was so huge that the sample melted down. The resultant image resembles a face with two ting eyes and a big nose.
The Royal Elephant
by Jacqueline Kwa, Advanced Micro Devices
TEM lamella preparation on a silicon sample created this image of an elephant decorated with headdress, getting ready to usher in the king.
Tortoise
by Nurhanani; Infineon Technologies, Kulim Malaysia
This is a SEM image of a particle embedded in a metal layer, resembling that of a tortoise at the water surface.
Long-Tail Kangaroo
by Jun Faith Rodrigo, Analog Devices
This is a FESEM image showing a foreign material on the heat sink of a MEMS package. The image looks like the silhouette of a kangaroo with a long tail.
