Migration of surface ions in lateral fields on insulator surfaces may modify the electrical characteristics of underlying semiconductor structures causing device instabilities. A high sensitivity electrostatic force microscope is used to image the movement and spatial distribution of surface ions on Si3N4. Mobile surface ions are distributed by the fringing fields of a p‐n junction and an open‐gate field‐effect transistor. The surface charge distribution and topography are imaged simultaneously on a micrometer scale.
