Modeling of Integrated Circuit Defect
نویسنده
چکیده
Until now only cursory descriptions of mathematical models for defect sensitivities of integrated circuit chips have been given in the yield literature. This paper treats the fundamentals of the defect models that have been used successfully at IBM for a period of more thanjifteen years. The effects of very small defects are discussedjirst. The case of photolithographic defects, which are of the same dimensions as the integrated circuit device and interconnection patterns, is dealt with in the remainder of the paper. The relationships between these models and test sites are described. Data from measurements of defect sizes are discussed.

LSI Yield Modeling and Process Monitoring
This paper describes an analytical technique for quantifying and modeling the frequency of occurrence of integrated circuit failures. The method is based on the analysis of random and clustered defects on wafers with defect monitors. Results from pilot line data of photolithographic defects, insulator short circuits, and leaky pn junctions are presented to support the practicality of the approa...

متن کاملBayesian spatial defect pattern recognition in semiconductor fabrication using support vector clustering
Defects generated during integrated circuit (IC) fabrication processes are classified into global defects and local defects according to their generation causes. Spatial patterns of locally clustered defects are likely to contain the information related to their defect generation mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a model-based clustering for spatial patterns of local defects to reflect real...
