  • Abstract
    For a detailed understanding of near electric breakdown a semiconductor device is analyzed by complementary Optical Beam Induced Current and energy-dispersive Photon Emission Microscopy. The potential and limit as well as the physical background of both techniques for the determination of the local electric field strength are discussed in detail.
