Summary:

Nanoprobing systems have evolved to meet the challenges from recent innovations in the semiconductor manufacturing process. This is demonstrated through an exhibition of standard SRAM measurements on 7 nm technology. Both AFM and SEM based nanoprobers, Hyperion II and nProber III, respectively, are shown to meet or exceed the requirements for measuring 7nm technology and beyond. Best-known methods for sample preparation as well as enabling advancements in the nanoprobing platforms are discussed.
