  • Abstract
    Application of passive voltage contrast at low kV is well-known methodology to identify fault location. In this paper, PVC with high-energy beam instead of at low kV has been performed to one 65 nm technology case and successfully reveals PMOS contact open. The phenomenon and modelling will be further discussed.
