Abstract

A novel technique of contact-level ion-beam induced passive voltage contrast was developed to identify defective contact employing a FIB station. The technique was demonstrated to be effective by the analysis of the single column, double column, single bit and pair bit failures of SRAM. Subsequent FIB cross-section and TEM analysis revealed the root causes of the failures.
