Abstract :
A voltage contrast technique which generates a video display of data movement within an active integrated circuit has been developed. The technique utilizes a microprocessor to exercise and control the flow of data within an integrated circuit so that SEM images of sequential logic states can be generated without the use of electron beam blanking.
