Title: Scanning fluorescent microthermal imaging apparatus and method

Abstract

A scanning fluorescent microthermal imaging (FMI) apparatus and method is disclosed, useful for integrated circuit (IC) failure analysis, that uses a scanned and focused beam from a laser to excite a thin fluorescent film disposed over the surface of the IC. By collecting fluorescent radiation from the film, and performing point-by-point data collection with a single-point photodetector, a thermal map of the IC is formed to measure any localized heating associated with defects in the IC.

Apparatus for imaging liquid and dielectric materials with scanning polarization force microscopy

Patent Hu, Jun [Berkeley, CA]; Ogletree, D Frank [El Cerrito, CA]; Salmeron, Miguel [El Cerrito, CA]; ...

The invention images dielectric polarization forces on surfaces induced by a charged scanning force microscope (SFM) probe tip. On insulators, the major contribution to the surface polarizability at low frequencies is from surface ions. The mobility of these ions depends strongly on the humidity. Using the inventive SFM, liquid films, droplets, and other weakly adsorbed materials have been imaged.
