Abstract
Impurity redistribution during thermal oxidation in the n-channel transistor of SOS/CMOS can result in an inversion of silicon material type (from p to n) along the island edge and extending from drain to source. This inverted island edge produces excessive drain-to-source current leakage. We show that the electron-beam-induced-current (EBIC) mode of operation in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is an effective method of observing inverted island edges.
