The InfraScan 300 INV system that MECC uses has been
custom configured by the manufacturer to meet the specific needs and requirements of the Semiconductor Assurance & Forensics Engineering Branch. Only the manufacturer has the knowledge and understanding of how the tool is configured and they are the only ones that are qualified to service the tool. Moreover, many of the components and software are proprietary, making the opportunity for another company able to provide the required service quite difficult as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) does not allow for sale of proprietary software source code or other proprietary information about the tool and its components.
