A FIB shorting technique to create a conducting path across the buried oxide to connect active silicon to silicon substrate is demonstrated to allow Conductive Atomic Force Microscopy (CAFM) failure analysis on SOI devices. CAFM is carried out at via and contact levels to provide current images that helped to localize the faulty node and also determine currentvoltage characteristics at an area of interest.
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.
