ABSTRACTPhoto-leakage-current of poly-Si (polycrystalline Si) TFFs has been investigated by using the rear irradiation OBIC (Optical Beam Induced Current) method. In the case of the offset gate TFIs, it was found that the photo-leakage-current was generated in the offset region of the drain electrode side. In order to reduce the photo-leakage-current, low concentration phosphor (P) was doped in the offset region, which corresponds to LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) structure. In the LDD TFT, the photo leakage current at the offset region decreased remarkably, because of the reduction of hole transportation in this region.

Abstract By implementing two-photon optical-beam-induced current microscopy using a solid-immersion lens, imaging inside a silicon flip chip is reported with 166nm lateral resolution and an axial resolution capable of resolving features only 100nm in height.

ABSTRACTThe optical beam induced current (OBIC) technique allows a direct imaging of high voltage PN junctions at a microscopic level under reverse operating conditions by measuring the local variation of the photocurrent. In this paper we focus on the application of the UV-OBIC technique for failure analysis of 4H SiC high voltage P+N diodes.4H SiC P+N diodes with a 2-zone junction termination extension were used. The diodes were characterized in terms of reverse leakage current and breakdown voltage. Various devices were chosen for failure analysis on the base of early breakdown and/or excessive leakage current for OBIC measurements to study extrinsic failures. As a reference we selected diodes that blocked more than 2 kV with a leakage current density of typically less than 0.1 μA/cm2.OBIC measurements have been used to detect failures in devices that manifest themselves as peaks or “hot spots” in the photocurrent distribution. Early breakdown of diodes could be attributed to formation of hot spots in the periphery of the diodes. The appearance of a hot spot preceded any noticeable increase in reverse leakage current and is thus a very sensitive tool to identify defective diodes already at low voltage levels.The photocurrent generated by illumination of hot spots has been measured as a function of reverse bias voltage and the current multiplication factor has been determined.
