摘要:
Improved processes for manufacturing wafers, chips, or dies utilize in-line data obtained from non-contact electrical measurements (“NCEM”) of fill cells that contain structures configured to target/expose a variety of open-circuit, short-circuit, leakage, or excessive resistance failure modes, including GATE-snake-open and/or GATE-snake-resistance failure modes. Such processes may involve evaluating Designs of Experiments (“DOEs”), comprised of multiple NCEM-enabled fill cells, in at least two variants, all targeted to the same failure mode(s).
