Semiconductor Device, Material and Process Characterization

Call for Papers and Posters

This session, new for SCANNING 96, is intended to be a forum for addressing issues unique to semiconductor materials, processes and devices. Papers demonstrating "scanning" related solutions to issues arising in areas of research, development, manufacturing and quality/ reliability are being solicited.

Novel approaches, new instrumentation, re-discovered techniques, and even clever sample preparation schemes in which scanned photons, electrons, ions or nano-probes are used to solve perplexing problems are appropriate for submission to this informing session. Authors are strongly encouraged to target process and device engineers, as well as instrumental analysts.

A tentative list of invited speakers includes Dr. W.J. DeRuijter, EMiSpec Systems, Tempe, AZ, discussing recent developments in computer controlled instrumentation and real time image processing; Andrew Erickson, Digital Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA, describing contributions of scanning probe microscopies to process development and device analysis; and Dr. E.I. Cole, Sandia National Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM, presenting device failure analysis techniques by scanning optical microscopy.
