Summary :

A new test structure, which has a 0.5 µm line and space polysilicon pattern of which center is aligned on the MOSFET's gate center, is proposed for hot-carrier-induced photoemission analysis in subquarter micron devices. The photoemission-intensity profiles were measured using the photoemission microscope with a liquid N2 cooled CCD imager. We successfully measured a peak position of photoemission intensity from the center of MOSFET's gate with a spatial resolution sufficiently less than 24 nm at the microscope magnification of 1000. The test structure is useful to study the photoemission effects in semiconductor devices.
