Abstract
The effect of across-wafer process gradients on pair mismatch is generally considered to add an additional, normally distributed, stochastic component. We analyze radial process parameter distributions, which, wafer maps show, are predominant and prove that they give rise to a semi-elliptical, not normal, distribution. Additionally, we discuss different approaches to modeling parameter correlations and the geometry dependence of mismatch and present data that show how the correlation in key mismatch parameters has changed over technology generations.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modeling, design, performance and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power ICs and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are also published and occasional special issues appear to present a collection of papers which treat particular areas in more depth and breadth.
