EBIC原理
當(dāng)掃描電鏡電子束作用于半導(dǎo)體器件時(shí),如果電子束穿透半導(dǎo)體表面,電子束電子與器件材料晶格作用將產(chǎn)生電子與空穴。這些電子和空穴將能較為自由地運(yùn)動(dòng),但如果該位置沒(méi)有電場(chǎng)作用,它們將很快復(fù)合湮滅(發(fā)射陰極熒光),若該位置有電場(chǎng)作用(如晶體管或集成電路中的pn結(jié)),這些電子與空穴在電場(chǎng)作用下將相互分離。故一旦在pn結(jié)的耗盡層或其附近位置產(chǎn)生電子空穴對(duì),空穴將向p型側(cè)移動(dòng),電子將向n型側(cè)移動(dòng),這樣將有一靈敏放大器可檢測(cè)到的電流通過(guò)結(jié)區(qū)。該電流即為電子束感生電流(EBIC)。由于pn結(jié)的耗盡層有很多的多余載流子,故在電場(chǎng)作用下的電子空穴分離會(huì)產(chǎn)生很高的電流值,而在其它的地方電流大小將受到擴(kuò)散長(zhǎng)度和擴(kuò)散壽命的限制,故利用EBIC進(jìn)行成像可以用來(lái)進(jìn)行集成電路中pn結(jié)的定位和損傷研究。
EBIC應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域包括但不限于:
1)材料晶格缺陷探測(cè)分析,缺陷以黑點(diǎn)和黑線標(biāo)識(shí)出來(lái);
2)P-N結(jié)缺陷區(qū)域定位;
3)雙極電路中導(dǎo)致集電極-發(fā)射極漏電電流的收集管路的探測(cè);
4)探測(cè)額外連接或者多層摻雜;
5)確定靜電放電/電過(guò)載(ESD/EOS)導(dǎo)致的失效位置;
6)測(cè)量減壓層/耗盡層(depletion layer)寬度和少數(shù)載流子擴(kuò)散長(zhǎng)度和時(shí)間(minority carrier diffusion lengths/lifetimes)
等等。
EBIC圖像對(duì)于電子-空穴的重新組合非常敏感,因此EBIC技術(shù)能夠非常有效的對(duì)半導(dǎo)體材料缺陷等進(jìn)行失效分析。
