The surface contamination affects Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) performance. Thermal agitation during mapping doping, thermal oxidation, annealing impurities and crystal defects promotes the roughness; various kinds of forces on the surface can be detected by the interaction between tip of cantilever and sample. This interaction not only help us to understand the characteristics and morphology of the sample but also useful to measure the surface force of the aluminum sample too.Key words: Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) performance; Thermal oxidation; Annealing impurities; Crystal defectsThe Himalayan Physics Vol.2, No.2, May, 2011Page: 76-79Uploaded Date: 1 August, 2011

Abstract A failure analysis flow is developed for surface contamination, corrosion and underetch on microchip Al bondpads and it is applied in wafer fabrication. SEM, EDX, Auger, FTIR, XPS and TOF-SIMS are used to identify the root causes. The results from carbon related contamination, galvanic corrosion, fluorine-induced corrosion, passivation underetch and Auger bondpad monitoring will be presented. The failure analysis flow will definitely help us to select suitable methods and tools for failure analysis of Al bondpad-related issues, identify rapidly possible root causes of the failures and find the eliminating solutions at both wafer fabrication and assembly houses.
