This paper presents a methodology for addressing this issue using electrical test structures designed to measure dimensional mismatch. In the past these have been used successfully to characterise standard GHOSTed photomasks, which displayed systematic offsets that were not seen on an unGHOSTed mask using the same design. In order to investigate this further, a second mask was fabricated using a variation of the GHOST process which increased the resolution of the secondary exposure to be the same as the primary pattern. This enabled the source of the previously observed systematic offset to be determined as test structures on the new mask did not show the same overall dimensional bias. However, the range of mismatch in some of the structures was increased as a result of the new process.","PeriodicalId":175818,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133132435","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 test chip utilizes 4-terminal (one of 4 is strongly grounded) Kelvin force/sense measurement for resistive-type and charge-base capacitance measurement (CBCM) for capacitive-type test structures. With the aid of memory-addressing design scheme, any one of the device-under-test in an array can be randomly or sequentially selected for testing with all of them sharing a common probe pad group. To accelerate the testing speed, the address control signals of 8 test structure array are connected in parallel for synchronized parallel testing. A 32×16×8 test structure array has been implemented by utilizing a state-of-the-art logic process to demonstrate design feasibility. The results confirm the excellence of this architecture in measurement with 0.1fF for capacitive and 0.1 ohm for resistive systematic errors, and 7 times testing speed improvement.","PeriodicalId":175818,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123969911","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}
