Semiconductor Characterization and Analytical Technology
Published
Author(s)
Abstract
The utility of semiconductor characterization techniques continues to be measured by industry requirements for smaller device geometry, atomically smooth surfaces and interfaces, and increased material purity. Those techniques that specialize in the micropot and structural analysis of microcircuits are reviewed in this paper, with examples of applications to manufacturing and process development. Brief tutorials, case studies, and comparisons show how the strengths and weaknesses of each should be understood before selecting those methods most suitable for the problem at hand.Citation
