Intermittent-contact scanning capacitance microscopy versus contact mode SCM applied to 2D dopant profiling

This study compares two different methods of scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM). The first and approved one operates in contact mode and the second novel one in intermittent-contact (IC) mode. Measurements were performed on several samples and the results are compared. New technical expertises on the novel intermittent-contact method are shown and in conclusion assets and drawbacks of this SCM method are emphasized.
