Apply Difference Analysis to Nano-Probing Technique for Reasoning Erratic Defect out in Integrated Circuits
The purpose of this paper is to present a novel deductive methodology, which is accomplished by applying difference analysis to nano-probing technique. This methodology would like to resolve the erratic device with a tailing failure or puzzling feature, but not only to check if the suspect had incorrect characteristic or mismatched transistor parameters
Electrical characterization by sub-micron probing technique on 90 nm CMOS technology for failure analysis
As the failure mechanisms become more complex with IC technology progression, the failure analysis (FA) needs electrical characterization of die internal transistors to fault identification and discrimination of various defect types. The sub-micron probing (SMP) with 4 needles allows all electrical characteristics measurements of a single transistor and leads to accurate results in FA with a best root cause understanding. This paper presents the effectiveness of the 4 needles-SMP technique and reports experimental results during the threshold voltage/BVDSS measurements of the 6 transistors of RAM cell on a 90 nm CMOS technology in the Nice Device Analysis Laboratory (NDAL) of Texas Instruments France.
