Abstract

Two-dimensional implant profiling using Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM) on the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diode of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices at different device bias voltage and applied pressure or deflection setpoint into the tip to maintain electrical contact is presented. The measured resistance does not significantly vary with bias voltage but is observed to exponentially decrease with increasing deflection setpoint. The possible application of this tool for failure analysis is also presented.
