  • Abstract
    The increasing complexity of integrated circuits has made fault localization becoming more difficult. This paper outlines the electrical fault localization process flow with circuit studies and micro-probing measurement for further single device localization. Subsequently, physical defect of abnormal N-type MOSFET doping profile is identified thru Scanning Capacitance Microscopy analysis.
