Abstract:
Advanced SEM/SPM microscopy will expand the application fields in failure analysis and reliability investigation, because the recognition of defects and their subsequent characterization have to be carried out with highest spatial resolution to ensure that even smallest structures with modified material properties can be evaluated. Promising for future applications is the fact that the used probes simultaneously can either be used as sensors, giving access to a vast variety of material properties, or as actuators, which can deliberately modify samples properties.
