    摘要: A method is disclosed for designing scan chains in an integrated circuit chip with specific parameter sensitivities to identify fabrication process defects causing test fails and chip yield loss. The composition of scan paths in the integrated circuit chip is biased to allow them to also function as on-product process monitors. The method adds grouping constraints that bias scan chains to have common latch cell usage where possible, and also biases cell routing to constrain scan chain routing to given restricted metal layers for interconnects. The method assembles a list of latch design parameters which are sensitive to process variation or integrity, and formulates a plan for scan chain design which determines the number and the length of scan chains. A model is formulated of scan chain design based upon current state of yield and process integrity, wherein certain latch designs having dominant sensitivities are chosen for specific ones of the scan chains on the chip. The model is provided as input parameters to a global placement and wiring program used to lay out the scan chains. Test data on the chip is then analyzed to determine and isolate systematic yield problems denoted by attributes of a statistically significant failing population of a specific type of scan chain.

    摘要: High performance asymmetric transistors including controllable diode characteristics at the source and/or drain are developed by supplying impurities with high accuracy of location by angled implants in a trench or diffusion from a solid body formed as a sidewall of doped material. High concentration gradient of impurities to support high performance is achieved by providing for reduced heat treatment after the impurity is supplied in order to limit diffusion previously necessary to achieve the desired location of impurity structures. Damascene or quasi-Damascene gate structures are also provided for high dimensional uniformity, increased manufacturing yield and structural integrity of the transistor.

    摘要: A method is provided for making optical waveguide structures in a semiconductor device wherein a rectangular cross-section low index of refraction material is encapsulated in a trench by a high index of refraction material. The waveguide structures may be made in a device containing copper conductors in trenches by forming new trenches to hold the optical waveguide. Copper conductor containing trenches may also be made in an electronic component containing waveguide structures and a further method is provided for forming an optical waveguide structure by replacing a copper containing trench with the waveguide structure in an electronic component having a plurality of copper containing trenches. All the methods use conventional techniques so that the fabrication of a semiconductor device containing both optical waveguide structures and copper conductor structures can be made both efficiently and economically.

    摘要: A noise-reducing platen comprising a circular cylinder, a hub disposed along the longitudinal axis of and within the cylinder, and walls for dividing the annular region between the cylinder and the hub into a plurality of separated longitudinal channels extending the length of the cylinder. The walls include a plurality of vanes disposed at angular intervals about the hub, each vane extending (a) from the hub to the inner surface of the cylinder and (b) along the length of the cylinder, each pair of adjacent vanes defining one of the longitudinal channels. It is believed that the vibrations generated along the longitudinal channels are at a frequency above the audible range, thereby resulting in reduced undesired noise when printing elements strike the platen.

    摘要: A MIM capacitor includes a dielectric cap that enhances performance and reduces damage to MIM insulators during manufacture. A cavity is formed in an insulative substrate, such as a back end of line dielectric layer, and a first metal layer and an insulator layer are conformally deposited. A second metal layer may be deposited conformally and/or to fill a remaining portion of the cavity. The dielectric cap may be an extra layer of insulative material deposited at ends of the insulator at an opening of the cavity and may also be formed as part of the insulator layer.
