In-house built tester-on-a-board (TOB) system was used to provide power and control signals to the device-under-test (DUT), as well as conduct parametric tests. RF switch matrix was implemented to support multi-channel RF tests up to 50GHz. This wafer sorting test solution covers contact tests, power consumption tests, single-ended and true-mode differential full S-parameter tests, output signal swing and total harmonic tests. This work enables wafer-level driver die sorting capability for next-generation 400G silicon photonics coherent transceiver module.","PeriodicalId":333915,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures (ICMTS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125195574","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}

However, the tradeoff relationship of the exposure quality according to the EB exposure pattern approximation methods has not yet been comprehensively studied. The study is essential for photonics because target patterns include curved shapes. We propose a test structure of silicon racetrack resonator to quantify the quality dependence. Three approximation techniques were tried such as octagon shape CP, tilted square CPs, and thin variable shape rectangles. Optical measurement clearly revealed quality differences between methods, which were impossible to be identified by classical metrological methods including Surface Probe Microscopy (SPM).","PeriodicalId":333915,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 32nd International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures (ICMTS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129523908","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}
