Abstract
Analysis of a semiconductor die is enhanced by the stimulation the die and the detection of a response to the stimulation. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor die is analyzed using indirect stimulation of a portion of the die, and detecting a response therefrom. First, selected portion of circuitry within the die is stimulated. The stimulation of the selected portion induces a second portion of circuitry within the die to generate an external emission. The emission is detected and the die is analyzed therefrom. In one particular implementation, a response from the selected portion is inhibited from interfering with the detection of the emission from the second portion of circuitry.
