Abstract Electron Beam Induced Current is a powerful tool for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging mode. In this paper, the history and evolution of this technique are discussed. Some important defects are presented as well as their technological interpretation. A new custom amplifier is presented and its implementation in Time Resolved EBIC (TREBIC) is also proposed, the main differences with EBIC are pointed out.

AbstractA study of gettering and electrical activity of metallic impurities Ni, Au and Cu has been carried out on epitaxial Si/Si(2%Ge)/Si wafers containing interfacial misfit dislocations. The impurities were intentionally introduced from a backside deposited thin metal followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results indicate that the impurities were gettered along the misfit dislocations in near-surface regions either as Au precipitate colonies, or as NiSi2 and CuSi silicide precipitates. Data from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in the Electron Beam Induced Current (EBIC) mode revealed that these precipitates dominate the recombination properties of the initially inactive misfit dislocation.
