In this paper, we present an integrated approach for achieving improved yield ramp and enhanced manufacturing margins for deep sub-micron process technologies.This methodology highlights the combination of design IP for process technologV characterization, tailored data reduction and analysis of the design components for data characterization, and fault modeling and extraction for root cause failure delermination. This approach enables semiconductor companies to characterize yield loss and improve manufacturing process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
