Contact resistance, or CRES, is one of those problems that most engineers prefer not to think about until it’s staring them in the face. For years, it could be managed quietly with routine probe card ...
With the development of novel titanium-silicidation techniques, imec Ph.D. student Hao Yu presents improved source/drain contact schemes which help solving the contact resistance challenge for ...
Switch-contact bounce is an unavoidable mechanical phenomenon and complicates the task of measuring contact resistance; this circuit uses a current source and classic analog peak-detector circuit to ...
