BEOL yield characterization is increasingly difficult on advanced technology nodes using traditional short flow devices. A new BEOL Technology Development Read Only Memory (TDROM")' has been used to successfully drive BEOL yield learning on the 65 nm node. The addressable nature of the TDROM"^ allows isolation of all fails to within 2 um2 using known memory testing techniques which has resulted in accelerated yield learning, and PFA utilization. The eight megabit array size allows exhaustive DOE'S for all design rules and margins.
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.
