Abstract(in English) We proposed and developed a laser THz emission microscope (LTEM) as a novel tool for inspecting electrical failures in semiconductor devices. LTEM provides an image reflecting the electric field distribution in LSI chip by scanning it with fs laser pulses. By comparing LTEM images of a normal chip and a damaged one, we observed the difference in the LTEM image near the damaged area. Here, we report the experimental result on non-biased MOSFETs embedded in a test element group. We found that the LTEM images of damaged samples changed from those of normal samples both under biased and non-biased condition. This indicates that the LTEM is a potential tool for inspecting electrical failures in circuits.
