The Fault Injection Laser System is a workbench for optical fault injection (FI) attacks on semiconductors using a laser. The workbench consists of a microscope on a stand with an XY-stage. The laser unit is mounted next to the microscope and laser light is inserted into the optical path of the microscope. Laser light is aimed and guided through a spot size reducer and an optical revolver to a spot area on the target. The optical revolver has space for five switchable objectives. Objectives for 5x, 20x, and 50x magnification can be purchased separately.
The microscope has a top camera for visual confirmation of the laser spot on the target. An external light source provides additional illumination for the top camera view. The XY-stage is controlled by a Tango controller unit, operated by an XYZ-joystick. A wheel at the side of the XYZ-joy stick controls the Z-axis or camera focus.
