Abstract

A novel, non-destructive measurement technique has been used to electrically monitor the depth of a deep trench in a submicron smart power process. The ratio of the injected emitter current to the captured collector current in a parasitic bipolar transistor has demonstrated the ability to resolve variations in trench depth of <0.2 /spl mu/m and was used to qualify a new etch process.
