摘要: Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) opens up a new field of applications as advanced technique to characterize cross-sectional electric well distribution surface potential functioning integrated circuits. Original sample preparation and connecting method allowing sharp observations on the circuit cross-section with conservation power supplying is presented. This device combined KPFM an illustration innovative which allows imaging contact difference topography tested structure. Build-in derived from locate junction.
