Discuss common approaches to de-processing an IC from decapsulation to ready-for-imaging and spend some time hands-on removing layers on real samples using simple polishing techniques.

Requirements
General knowledge of integrated circuits is required. The hands-on training will concentrate on simple finger polishing of an IC with abrasive slurries. Samples and equipment will be provided.
