Summary:

This paper demonstrated a methodology of electrically validation, isolation, and characterization of inline EBI voltage contrast defects using conductive-atomic force microscopy technique. This methodology offers opportunities for faster understanding of failure mechanism and thus enables accelerated yield learning.
