    摘要: A method and structure for locating a fault in a semiconductor chip. The chip includes a substrate on a dielectric interconnect. A first electrical response image of the chip, which includes a spot representing the fault, is overlayed on a first reflection image for monochromatic light in an optical path from an optical microscope through a SIL/NAIL and into the chip. The index of refraction of the substrate exceeds that of the dielectric interconnect and is equal to that of the SIL/NAIL. A second electrical response image of the chip is overlayed on a second reflection image for the monochromatic light in an optical path in which an optical stop prevents all subcritical angular components of the monochromatic light from being incident on the SIL/NAIL. If the second electrical response image includes or does not include the spot, then the fault is in the substrate or the dielectric interconnect, respectively.

    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconducting device including a gate dielectric atop a semiconducting substrate, the semiconducting substrate containing source and drain regions adjacent the gate dielectric; a gate conductor atop the gate dielectric; a conformal dielectric passivation stack positioned on at least the gate conductor sidewalls, the conformal dielectric passivation stack comprising a plurality of conformal dielectric layers, wherein no electrical path extends entirely through the stack; and a contact to the source and drain regions, wherein the discontinuous seam through the conformal dielectric passivation stack substantially eliminates shorting between the contact and the gate conductor. The present invention also provides a method for forming the above-described semiconducting device.

    摘要: A method and system for backside unlayering a semiconductor device to expose FEOL semiconductor features of the device for subsequent electrical and/or physical probing. A window is formed within a backside substrate layer of the semiconductor. A collimated ion plasma is generated and directed so as to contact the semiconductor only within the backside window via an opening in a focusing shield. This focused collimated ion plasma contacts the semiconductor, only within the window, while the semiconductor is simultaneously being rotated and tilted by a temperature controlled stage, for uniform removal of semiconductor layering such that the semiconductor features, in a location on the semiconductor corresponding to the backside window, are exposed. Backside unlayering of the invention may be enhanced by CAIBE processing.
