Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a failure position of a semiconductor device. The method comprises the steps that S1) failure position analysis is carried out on the semiconductor device to search for a target position; S2) first identifications are prepared in the plane where the target position is located and in the surrounding of the target position to mark the target position; S3) the target position is located by taking the first identifications as marks, a slice sample including the target position is prepared in the semiconductor device, the bottom of the slice sample is exposed, and a second identification is prepared in the exposed bottom to locate the target position in failure analysis; S4) the slice sample including the target position and the second identification is separated from the semiconductor device to obtain an independent slice sample; and S5) the target position is determined according to the position of the second identification, and TEM analysis is carried out on the target position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and in particular, the invention relates to a method for determining the failure location of a semiconductor device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the improvement of integrated circuit performance is mainly achieved by continuously shrinking the size of integrated circuit devices to increase its speed. With the continuous reduction of device size, it brings great challenges to many aspects such as manufacturing and design. The stability and yield of devices have become an important factor to measure the performance of semiconductor devices. [0003] In the failure analysis of the device, if the customer provides the failure analysis address or the failure location can be determined by EFA method analysis, Focused Ion beam (FIB) slices can be analyzed. If no abnormalities are found in the FIB slices, it is necessary to conduct For transmis...
