Precise Localization of 28 nm via Chain Resistive Defect Using EBAC and Nanoprobing
Keyword(s):
Abstract As technology nodes continue to shrink, resistive opens have become increasingly difficult to detect using conventional methods such as AVC and PVC. The failure isolation method, Electron Beam Absorbed Current (EBAC) Imaging has recently become the preferred method in failure analysis labs for fast and highly accurate detection of resistive opens and shorts on a number of structures. This paper presents a case study using a two nanoprobe EBAC technique on a 28nm node test structure. This technique pinpointed the fail and allowed direct TEM lamella.
