The time to market of a digital device includes first silicon debug, yield ramp and mature yield improvement. Manufacturing test failures caused by defects during mature yield state are usually hard to characterize for advanced technologies and resemble baseline pattern. Diagnosis driven yield analysis (DDYA) is a solution which can be used efficiently during different stages of product life. Instead of relying on just a handful of high quality diagnosis results, it takes volume layout-aware diagnosis results, performs yield analysis, identifies systematic signature, facilitates root cause analysis, and picks the best candidate die for physical failure analysis (FA). The confirmed PFA result can then be used to adjust fabrication process to improve baseline yield and reduce future occurrences of such failures. Case study in this paper shows this flow helped improve a mature yield by 1.7%.
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.
