摘要
A 2D transient interferometric mapping (TIM) method for thermal and free carrier imaging of semiconductor devices at two time instants during a single electrical stress event is presented. The time resolution is 5 ns and the time delay between imaging laser pulses is independently adjustable. By using a short delay between the pulses, the instantaneous 2D density of dissipated thermal power can be calculated. The method is applied to investigate moving current filaments in smart power DMOS transistors and in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices exhibiting non-repeatable triggering behaviour under ESD-like stress.
