Session 6: Circuit Edit for FA, FI, and Debug
Location: Meeting Room J1-J2 (San Jose McEnery Convention Center)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: The Circuit Edit session focuses primarily on backside techniques. One paper addresses the challenge of making ohmic contact to diffusions, and two papers describe backside edit methodologies that maintain flat trench floors, allow accurate navigation and mill high aspect ratio vias. The final oral paper addresses the unique concept of temperature control during FIB milling and deposition, finding that sticking coefficient of precursor chemistries dominates reaction rate. In addition to the oral papers, three poster papers are presented that address CAD-less navigation, nanomechanical characterization and a wet-etch technique used to compliment FIB milling.
