Abstract

The optical beam induced current (OBIC) technique in a scanning laser microscope enables gate oxide shorts in MOS transistors to be detected and localized, and confirms results of electrical measurements performed on failed devices. The technique is completely non-destructive and can be applied to a large number of MOS gate oxide failures due to breakdown phenomena.
