Electron-beam radiation induced degradation of silicon nitride and its impact to semiconductor failure analysis by TEM

By in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we performed a detailed study on the electron-beam radiation damage to nanostructured silicon nitride thin-film process layers in a typical semiconductor NVM device. It was found that high-dose electron-beam radiation at 200 kV led to rapid degradat...
