  • Abstract
    This newly developed instrument can provide new techniques for failure analysis by direct interpretation of AEI and VDIC signatures, and transistor characterization by nanoprobing. These methods enable analysis from the top surface to the bottom of the device. The authors conclude that this instrument provides an effective alternative solution for semiconductor failure analysis.
