The fabrication of nanostructures and architectures with uniform dimensions is highly desirable for developing functional semiconductor devices. As these devices shrink, the fabrication of new designs and more complex structures, using novel materials, is needed to meet corresponding challenges. To this end, highly sensitive and advanced analytical tools must be used to detect the slightest electrical issues that can influence yield or performance in these more advanced structures.
As an example, analysis might include isolating electrical faults that cause semiconductor devices to fail at end-of-line tests. Defects, like metal shorts, opens, and transistor-level leakages, are localized in the failure analysis workflow to identify and troubleshoot failures, increasing overall device manufacturing yield. This helps to improve cost-effectiveness, and provides high-sensitivity solutions for detecting electrical failures.
