Abstract
The characterisation of 1D and 2D stress distributions in poly-buffered LOCOS (PBL) isolation structures for using Micro-Raman mapping with TEM measurements of topography is presented. Measurements have been made on devices produced within the development of 0.35 ¿m cmos isolation modules.
