Abstract
As the CMOS is scaling down quickly, the accurate and precise diagnosis of the process failure mechanisms in the ULSI circuits becomes more difficult and time consuming. In this paper, a new failure analysis technique for ULSI process defects using the back side emission microscopy is proposed. The real location of the defect site under the metal layer can be detected exactly by this new technique.
