    Techniques For Latch-up Analysis In CMOS ICs Based On Scanning Electron-microscopy

    No full text
    Scanningelectronmicroscopytechniques for the characterization of latch-up phenomena in CMOS integrated circuits are reported, critically rewieved and compared with experimental techniques described in the literature, based on infra-red and scanning laser microscopy. Several examples of application are presented to demonstrate the capability of a SEM system for practical layout debugging. Described SEM techniques comprise: (a) sensitivity analysis by means of ebeam induced current, with digital control of the beam position and beam blanking to avoid MOS damaging; (b) identification of latch-up sites in steady-state by Digital Differential Voltage Contrast; (c) study of transient and triggering phenomena and localization of latch-up firing points by means of stroboscopic voltage contrast

    Electrical degradation of n-Si/PtSi/(Ti-W)/Al Schottky contacts induced by thermal treatments

    No full text
    Degradation of n-Si/PtSi/(Ti-W)/Al Schottky contacts was observed for thermal treatments at 500–550°C. The barrier height decreases from 0.86 to about 0.60 V and then rises to 0.70 V. A striking correlation between metallurgical interdiffusion, growth of intermetallic compounds and electrical degradation is reported

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
