摘要
电子束测试仪广泛用于大规模集成电路的内部分析。然而,对于高集成度、高速度的大规模集成电路来说,其波形采集速度低是一个明显的缺点。介绍了一种适用于四分之一/spl μ m VLSI电路的新型光学探测系统。该探测系统基于电光采样技术,利用扫描力显微镜技术实现了亚/spl μ m /m的空间分辨率。该系统能够以比电子束测试仪更快的速度测量VLSI电路的内部信号波形,并且能够测量直流电压电平,这是电子束测试仪无法实现的。
Novel optical probing system for quarter-/spl mu/m VLSI circuits
An e-beam tester is widely used for the internal analysis of LSI circuits. However, its low waveform acquisition speed is a significant drawback for LSI circuits featuring high integration and high speed. We have introduced a novel optical probing system applicable to quarter-/spl mu/m VLSI circuits. Based on an electro-optic sampling technique, this probing system achieved a sub-/spl mu/m spatial resolution by utilizing the scanning force microscope technique. This system can measure internal signal waveforms of VLSI circuits much faster than e-beam testers, and can measure the DC voltage level, which is not possible with e-beam testers.
