Measurement of VLSI power supply current by electron-beam probing

The measurement of power supply noise and current by electron-beam probing is described. Noise measurements can be made on the chip under test, and current measurements can be made on the circuit board. It is noted that power supply voltages are obtained simultaneously.

Zusammenfassung:The measurement of power supply noise and current by electron-beam probing is described. Noise measurements can be made on the chip under test, and current measurements can be made on the circuit board. It is noted that power supply voltages are obtained simultaneously. This measurement method is particularly useful when combined with a larger program of circuit characterization, or design verification, by electron-beam probing.< >
