Characterization Of Interconnect Electromigration Defects Using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM)


Main Features:
  • High resolution quantitative temperature and thermal conductivity measurements on sub-micron devices cab be obtained.
  • By using a resistive wollanston wire resistive probe, temperature resolution of 5mK and spatial resolution of 30nm can be achieved.
  • Very low beam landing energy down to 10eV.
  • The temperature distributions of the interconnect structures and electromigration defects are investigated.
