    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.

    摘要: A method and structure for the electrical characterization of a semiconductor device comprising, first, forming a hole having a diameter less than 0.15 μm, wherein the hole is created using focused ion beam (FIB) etching, and through at least a protective cap layer formed over the device. The FIB etching occurs in an electron mode using a beam current less than 35 ρA with an aperture size less than 50 μm, and at an acceleration voltage of about 50 kV. Second, the surface of the hole is coated with a metal, preferably using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and preferably using a FIB device. Third, a metal pad is deposited, preferably by FIB CVD, over the hole. Fourth, the pad is probed to determine characteristics and/or detect defects of the electrical device. The present invention allows for electrical characterization without causing damage to the device or its features.
