With the complexity of integrated circuitry and the decreasing size of components, usual isolation techniques (SEM inspections, Passive Voltage Contrast…) are not enough to find the defect. This paper presents an accurate methodology using the Sub Micron Probing (SMP) technique applied to a SRAM cell analysis. Indeed the number of non visual defect (NVD) becomes more and more important on the last...
