Abstract

A new concept based on sample current measurements for detecting of via-hole defects on wafer has been performed by low energy electron beam microcolumn. The microcolumn has been operated at a low voltage of 290 eV with total emission current of 400 nA, and a sample current of 6 nA. The test sample was fabricated with SiO2 layer of 300 nm thickness on a piece of a silicon substrate. Preliminary results of both sample current method and secondary electron method show microcolumn and its control can be useful technology for detecting of via-hole defects on wafer.
