Session 20: Metrology and Materials Analysis 2
Location: South Ballroom (Worcester's Centrum Centre)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This session deals with the integration of low K dielectric into advanced IC devices. Two key problems are addressed; degradation of low k materials with wafer processing and a new failure analysis method to locate TDDB failure. The concluding paper show new applications of the FIB for serial sectioning.
