尚丰科技向用户提供专业的的电子束感生电流分析系统EBIC
EBIC原理
当扫描电镜电子束作用于半导体器件时,如果电子束穿透半导体表面,电子束电子与器件材料晶格作用将产生电子与空穴。这些电子和空穴将能较为自由地运动,但如果该位置没有电场作用,它们将很快复合湮灭(发射阴极荧光),若该位置有电场作用(如晶体管或集成电路中的pn结),这些电子与空穴在电场作用下将相互分离。故一旦在pn结的耗尽层或其附近位置产生电子空穴对,空穴将向p型侧移动,电子将向n型侧移动,这样将有一灵敏放大器可检测到的电流通过结区。该电流即为电子束感生电流(EBIC)。由于pn结的耗尽层有很多的多余载流子,故在电场作用下的电子空穴分离会产生很高的电流值,而在其它的地方电流大小将受到扩散长度和扩散寿命的限制,故利用EBIC进行成像可以用来进行集成电路中pn结的定位和损伤研究。
EBIC应用领域包括但不限于:
1)材料晶格缺陷探测分析,缺陷以黑点和黑线标识出来;
2)P-N结缺陷区域定位;
3)双极电路中导致集电极-发射极漏电电流的收集管路的探测;
4)探测额外连接或者多层掺杂;
5)确定静电放电/电过载(ESD/EOS)导致的失效位置;
6)测量减压层/耗尽层(depletion layer)宽度和少数载流子扩散长度和时间(minority carrier diffusion lengths/lifetimes)
等等。
EBIC图像对于电子-空穴的重新组合非常敏感,因此EBIC技术能够非常有效的对半导体材料缺陷等进行失效分析。
