摘要
We report here the use of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) in two thermal modes, as well as the usual topographical mode, for the study of samples which have suffered electromigration damage. The temperature mode displays hot spots in the samples, under current bias, where there is a large void in the track and hence large local heating. The thermal conductivity mode can detect large voids in the track even beneath a passivation layer. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
