Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy

Chipworks says that scanning microwave impedance microscopy (sMIM), a new scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique, might replace traditional scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM). Like SCM, the new sMIM technique reveals information on the implanted dopant structures of a semiconductor device.

  1. Is there any information on the detection limit/accuracy of the doping concentration available?

    1. This technique can measure the doping concentration from 10^14 /cm^3 – to 10^20/cm^3. More detail can be found in their website www.primenanoinc.com
