Abstract

During the qualification of the 0.18um process technology, severe yield loss due to random single bit and dual bit failures were encountered. Though bit mapping using the MOSAID tester always identified the bit location, the failure analysis was still difficult due to the increasing susceptibility of 0.18-micron devices to the fluctuation of device parameters and process related defects. Furthermore, the increasing complexity and the multiple metal layers with stacked via structure made FA even tougher.
