Session 10: Metrology and Materials Analysis 1
Location: Trinity Room (Renaissance Austin Hotel)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: Various ideas and techniques to address the challenges in physical identification and materials characterization of defects are presented in this session. The first two papers utilize e-beam contrast in a SEM for dopant profiling and defect localization. A novel FIB grounding method to eliminate sample charging during Auger analysis is addressed in the third paper. A technique to identify undoped defective poly by chemical staining of a TEM sample is presented in the fourth paper. The effect of TEM sample support grid on EDS analysis is discussed in the final paper.
