Abstract
A scanning force microscope (SFM) test system is used for voltage cont rast studies on 0 . 5 mu m integrated circuits. Waveform measurements are performed on passivated 0 . 5 mu m conducting lines up to 4 GHz. A dditionally two-dimensional measurements at 10 MHz demonstrate the pot ential for device internal function and failure analysis in the sub-mu m regime by direct correlation between voltage contrast and quantitat ive topography images.
