摘要: Integrated circuit dies are prepared for imaging by completely etching away all metal from the lines without removing barrier layers that underlie lines. The vias may also be removed, especially if they formed same as lines, in copper damascene circuits. This provides high contrast images permits layout extraction software to readily distinguish between and vias.
