These types of failures have no test data and no diagnostic information. Because of the failure being stuck at the reset sequence and being a hard failure, methodologies like Laser-Assisted Device Alteration (LADA) cannot be carried out. Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM) may exhibit numerous differences for good vs. bad die, however, most emission signatures typically indicate where IP is stuck in reset but do not indicate the actual root cause. Laser Voltage Probe (LVP) is the most logical way to proceed, but since Power-on Reset (POR) signals typically transition only once per test in conjunction with hard power cycling, the LVP averaging became very difficult as the hard power cycling increased the time of the loop drastically. This paper discusses a novel methodology of modulating power supply voltages within a looping pattern to optically probe the critical internal POR signal transitions effectively and debug the power sequencing of the device. This method is carried out through a custom test setup where a particular power supply of interest is modulated within the test loop without powering down other supplies connected, thereby avoiding the time penalty required for complete power down and power up. The method also synchronizes internal signals associated with POR to a tester-generated trigger in order to successfully obtain recognizable internally extracted POR-associated waveforms. This methodology is conveyed by explaining a complex functional failure analysis case study while highlighting where conventional failure analysis methods could not be used directly to identify the root cause of failure. This paper also describes another case study to explain how parametric information, such as the current profile using the current probe obtained during the test on a pass vs. fail device, can provide valuable information and help debug stuck-in reset failures.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353170","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}

Many studies have evaluated numerous obfuscation techniques, broadly classified as IC camouflaging, logic locking, and split manufacturing. In split manufacturing, threats introduced by an untrusted foundry are eliminated by manufacturing only the front-end of line (FEOL) layers in the high-end untrusted foundry, and back-end of line (BEOL) layers in the design house’s trusted low-end foundry to hide BEOL connections from the untrusted foundry. However, researchers proposed several attacks based on physical layout design heuristic, network-flow model, and placement-routing proximity to extract missing back-end of line connections. Nevertheless, split manufacturing suffers from yield due to challenges in properly aligning FEOL connections with the BEOL. This paper proposes LLE, which protects ICs from piracy and reverse-engineering by untrusted foundries. In this approach, we perform layout-level obfuscation by creating an intermediate metal layer mesh to obscure the BEOL connections from the FEOL. After fabrication from an untrusted foundry, the mesh can be edited using a focused-ion beam (FIB) editing tool in a trusted facility (e.g., FIB lab) to realize the actual inter- connection. Hence, unlike split manufacturing, LLE eliminates the requirement of a separate trusted foundry and establishes trust in the microelectronic supply chain by lowering cost and yield loss. To validate the effectiveness of LLE, we fabricated a test chip in MITLL Low- Power FDSOI CMOS Process. In the silicon test chip, we demonstrate that LLE can prevent IC piracy and reverse engineering with low costs and yield losses in the semiconductor supply chain.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353333","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 study identified a complex failure mode caused by chip-package interaction, which has a similar signature to discharging defects such as ESDFOS. However, the study revealed that the defect was induced by local mechanical force applied to IC structures due to the presence of large irregular-shaped filler particles within the mold compound. Extensive failure analysis work was conducted to identify the failure mode, including the development of a new backside analysis strategy to preserve the mold compound during IC defect localization and screening. A combination of different failure analysis techniques was used, including CMP delayering, PFIB trenching, SEM PVC imaging, and large area FIB cross-sectioning. The study found that the mold compound of the package caused thermos-mechanical strain onto the silica filler particle due to epoxy shrinkage during the molding process. Additionally, extra-large, irregularly shaped filler particles (called twin particles), located on top of the chip surface, can cause locally high compression stresses onto the IC layers, initiating cracks in the isolation layers under certain conditions forming a leakage path over the time. Thermo-mechanical finite element analysis was applied to verify the mechanical load condition for these large irregular-shaped filler particles. As a result, an additional polyimide layer was introduced onto the IC to mitigate the mechanical stress of mold compound particles to avoid this failure mode.","PeriodicalId":20443,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353334","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}
