Abstract It is widely acknowledged that Atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods such as conductive probe AFM (CAFM) and Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM) are valuable tools for semiconductor failure analysis. One of the main advantages of these techniques is the ability to provide localized, die-level fault isolation over an area of several microns much faster than conventional nanoprobing methods. SCM, has advantages over CAFM in that it is not limited to bulk technologies and can be utilized for fault isolation on SOI-based technologies. Herein, we present a case-study of SCM die-level fault isolation on SOI-based FinFET technology at the 14nm node.

AbstractWe report the results of a study of IR emissivity of aluminium films as a function of impurity level, film thickness and sputtering conditions. Preliminary work suggests that for a given level of film impurities and deposition conditions, the JJR emissivity can be minimized with a certain film thickness. The influence of impurity level, film thickness, and sputter pressure on IR emissivity has been correlated with the resistivity and the surface roughness (measured by atomic force microscopy). The results are discussed in the general context of the Drude theory with allowances for the observed roughness.

Abstract Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to quantitatively study nanomaterials in different media, e.g. vacuum, air, or submerged in a liquid. A technique was developed to study swelling of individual cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) using AFM. As a case study, CNFs with different degrees of crystallinity (DoC) were examined for swellability going from dry to wet (submerged in de-ionized water). Swelling was found to depend on DoC, but no significant correlation between fibril diameter and swellability was seen. Upon introduction of de-ionized water high DoC samples ($$65\pm 2\%$$ 65 ± 2 % ) were found to have a diameter increase of 34% on average, whereas low DoC ($$44\pm 2\%$$ 44 ± 2 % ) were found to have a diameter increase of 44% on average. A tested control, consisting of platinum nanowires on silisium, did not swell. Graphic abstract
