Abstract

In semiconductor failure analysis, there is a demand that after mechanical polishing and scanning electron microcopy (SEM) examination, the failure site needs to be analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) for a detailed examination to find the root cause. In this paper, a fast and practical TEM sample preparation method for TEM examination of specific site identified by cross-section scanning electron microscope (SEM) is demonstrated for further structural analysis.
