Abstract

In this paper, we present a new proven methodology, which identifies the killer defects and marginal designs by overlaying the electrical failure signatures and addresses from wafer sort to the inline defect inspection results. Not only have this new approach helped identifying killer defects that are difficult to PFA, it also benefits inspection recipe tuning and finding the root causes of different defects. This approach has been successfully implemented in 40/45nm products, and shortened the yield learn cycle significantly.
