Abstract:The fundamental operating principles of electron beam testing of integrated circuits are reviewed. Data obtained using a recently developed secondary electron analyser located within the final probe-forming lens in a scanning electron microscope are presented. Performance improvements in spatial resolution, energy resolution, and measurement accuracy are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
