In wafer fab, it is also being successfully used in failure analysis for Al fluorides on microchip Al bondpads. It is well known fact that it is difficult or impossible for us to fully free fluorine (F) from Al bondpads if F-based chemical gases such as CF4 and CHF3 are used for Al bondpad opening process in wafer fab. However, it is possible to reduce and control the F contamination to within the background/baseline level, which will not affect the bonding process at assembly houses","PeriodicalId":283576,"journal":{"name":"2006 13th International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127211728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The utility of SCEM to failure analysis comes from its ability to provide relatively high-resolution images from extremely thick specimens. In this way, the instrument can bridge the gap between optical SCOM useful for observing features few microns in size, to TEM which can resolve atomic sized structures but requiring specimens less than 100 nm thick to reach this resolution. The main advantage of SCEM for failure analysis in semiconductor manufacturing is to investigate defects or devices without the need to significantly de-capsulate or cross-section to thickness typically employed by TEM/STEM observations. This allows un-disturbed observation of embedded defects. Depth of field and focus of the SCEM, like the SCOM are limited by the pre and post specimen convergence angles. With the advent of aberration correctors this aspect of the SCEM will become an even more useful tool","PeriodicalId":283576,"journal":{"name":"2006 13th International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129226346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the defect being able to cause a device malfunction is also becoming smaller and smaller, and even certain defect is invisible with high-resolution SEM or TEM. It makes conventional physical failure analysis (PFA) face a great challenge for deep-sub-micron processed devices and the PFA success rate decrease because of such tiny or invisible defects. Thus electrical failure analysis (EFA) is becoming more and more important. FIB circuit edit and electrical characterization can provide critical clues of the failure mechanism through diagnosing the behaviour of a suspected defective transistor even if the defect is invisible with high-resolution SEM and TEM.

Electrical and structural characterizations of carbon nanostructure arrays are performed to assess the viability of these novel forms of carbon for interconnect applications. Structural information of carbon nanofiber arrays obtained with high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) are correlated with electrical characteristics using a semi-empirical model developed based on graphite conduction principles.

The stress migration lifetime decreases as metal thickness decreases, consistent with previous studies. The electromigration lifetime shows a more complicated dependence on metal thickness. For vias landing on narrow lines, the electromigration lifetime can actually be longer for thin wires (50 nm) than for thick wires (400 nm), because the via is more likely to touch the liner of the underlying metal as wire thickness decreases. In contrast, for vias landing on wide lines (and for vias landing on narrow lines at short stress times), the electromigration lifetime is independent of wire thickness","PeriodicalId":283576,"journal":{"name":"2006 13th International Symposium on the Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122662117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
