However, pure Al based material cannot be used due to the hillock issue, void formation and also Al spiking caused by interaction with silicon. Thus, small amount of Copper (Cu) and Silicon (Si) precipitates were introduced into the Al layer to resolve these issues. Nowadays the bond pads metallization has becoming thinner owing to the recent semiconductor needs thus the presence of big Si precipitates will have risk leading to cratering issue in wire-bonding process. Here in, we report for the first time on how to quantify the Si precipitates counts and Si precipitates size in Al based metallization through failure analysis methods.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"421 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129042246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, device defect modeling (DDM) process through software simulations and building of defect databases were introduced. Through the aid of the DDM process, defect sites were reduced to a single transistor or node from the SRAM array. Defect models were derived from the simulation process that guided analysts in identifying the suitable PFA approach. DDM process was effective in the failure mechanism to failure mode simulations. The DDM process was likewise instrumental in building defect databases for SRAM layout designs. These databases contained relevant information such as circuit simulation results, fabrication material stacking, suggested fault isolation techniques and potential defect locations that served as references for analysts.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129213655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inspection area of SRAM SB/DB is around 1~2um2. Traditionally, we can use the Focus Ion Beam (FIB) for cross section (X-S) checking as a much quicker inspection. However, X-S FIB inspection is not suitable to analyze some other failure modes such as bit line (BL) failure, which has a larger inspection area, around 200um2. We usually use the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and I-Beam Voltage Contrast (VC) methods to have a plane-view check along the failed BL to find any abnormality. Sometimes a tiny defect is not easy to observe by plane-view checking. In this paper, three alternative methods, Low kV Electron Beam (E-Beam), Electron Beam Absorbed Current (EBAC) and Laser Voltage Image (LVI) are used in three real cases, and achieve a goal of higher hit rate and shorter cycle time.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"27 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114105316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach takes into account variations in device measurement data due to process variations on the wafer, increasing device reliability and saving cost.

Enhanced Package Fault Isolation Method Using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Incorporation with Mathematics 时域反射与数学相结合的改进包故障隔离方法

TDR works by sending a series of short pulses through a transmission line under investigation, and measures the reflections that result from a signal travelling through a transmission environment. [1], [2] It is often being used for short or open failures defect localization, to isolate whether the short/ open failure is in the die region or package region. With the enhancement of process technology and increase of layers in the package/ silicon die, and due to limitation of reference medium, the results produced by using TDR can only be used as a rough guide, i.e. based on the TDR results, we can only narrow the open/ short failure to be in the die or package, we could not tell which layer of package the short/open is. This paper demonstrates some successful cases with the incorporation of mathematics together with the use of TDR machine. Open failure can be accurately localized down to specific substrate layer via mathematics calculation. Physical failure analysis further confirmed the accuracy of this method by showing the defect at that specific layer in those cases.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125303998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tessent Diagnosis helps to narrow down the reported failures to a suspected failing chain [1] - [5]. Unfortunately, scan chains can consist of hundreds to thousands of individual latches that can represent potential defect candidates and are typically distributed across the entire chip. Implementing global fault isolation techniques, which includes Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM) analysis, can lead to a collection of numerous anomalous emission spots. Cross mapping both the PEM results and the hundreds to thousands of individual scan cells to the CAD layout is both time-consuming and labor intensive. Moreover, selective cross mapping does not reveal the scan latches in chronological order, which is important for any scan chain analysis. One possible solution is to spatially map the scan latch list from the diagnosis file to the CAD layout to visualize the scan latch distribution quickly. This paper describes the use of this Scan Cell Visualizer through the use of case studies to demonstrate improved layout mapping efficiency and reduced overall failure analysis cycle time.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"52 47","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114005911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
