    Synchrotron Radiation for Measurement of Contaminants on Silicon Surfaces

    The detection limit for aluminum using total reflection x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) is approximately 100 times lower for a synchrotron source compared to a conventional source. The detection limit for transition...

    High Resolution Observation of Void Motion in Passivated Metal Lines Under Electromigration Stress

    Using a 120 kV STEM equipped with a backscattered electron detector and operated as a conventional SEM. voids in metal lines can be detected through 1 μm of passivation. By applying current to passivated thin met...
