For years it has been an outstanding challenge to perform electrical measurements on samples with pad sizes which are equal to the pad size of real cell capacitors of integrated memory devices. Up to now either larger sample capacitors or an array of several hundred capacitors in parallel could be investigated with typical measurement techniques [1]. But, both measurements can hardly detect the failure of a single capacitor in the submicron range. © 2001 Taylor and Francis.
