Abstract
This paper describes several case studies which used a combination of laser induced techniques, photon emission microscopy and layout analysis, together with the identification of common failure signatures that are associated with CMP under-polish, for the effective localization of thin and ultra-thin Ta barrier residue in the backend of line Cu metallization stack.
