Session 23: Metrology and Materials Analysis 3
Location: South Ballroom (Worcester's Centrum Centre)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This is a "non-standard" techniques session with papers illustrating how less common analytical techniques can be used to advantage in IC failure analysis. The concluding papers cover amorphization during TEM sample prep and a comparison of Auger and XPS for nitrogen analysis in gate oxides.
