This technique conditions the OBIC signal through a lock‐in amplifier significantly improving the signal‐to‐noise ratio and the overall detection capabilities of the system. This technique is capable of detecting microamps of leakage to isolate failure mechanisms in microelectronic devices and may be perform from the topside or through the backside of a device.
