ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting and imaging a voltage signal of at least one specific frequency at a measuring location of a test object, such as an integrated circuit, employ a scanning particle or radiation microscope for generating a voltage contrast signal whereby primary particles or radiation are pulsed or otherwise intensity-modulated with at least one specific frequency which frequency is different from at least one frequency of the signal at the test location. The voltage contrast signal is mixed to a specific intermediate frequency and the resulting mixed signal is demodulated. The method and apparatus can be utilized to identify faulty electronic modules.
