Abstract:
A yield enhancement system has a fabrication line with semiconductor fabrication devices for fabricating a wafer, an inspection and measurement monitoring system coupled to the fabrication line for determining process data corresponding to semiconductor fabrication devices, and a post-process testing line coupled to the fabrication line for performing in-line wafer-level testing. The post-process testing line includes a wafer acceptance tester, a yield monitor coupled to the wafer acceptance tester, and a wafer level reliability tester coupled to the wafer acceptance tester for estimating a life span of a device on the wafer.
Abstract:
To make an alternating current (AC) stress test easier to perform in a wafer, an AC stress test circuit for performing the AC stress test on a test device fabricated in a test region of the wafer includes an oscillator module fabricated in the test region, a diode module fabricated in the test region coupled to an output of the oscillator module, and a select transistor fabricated in the test region having a gate terminal coupled to an output of the diode module, a second terminal coupled to a gate of the test device, and a third terminal coupled to a test voltage source.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate having at least a gate structure formed thereon, forming LDDs in the substrate respectively at two side of the gate structure and a spacer at sidewalls of the gate structure, forming a source/drain in the substrate at two side of the gate structure, performing ant etching process to form recesses respectively in the source/drain, forming a barrier layer in the recesses; and performing a salicide process.
Abstract:
A motor operation noise elimination circuit of a portable multimedia player is provided, in which a first sound sensor is utilized to sense a first sound signal generated by motor operation during recording and a second sound signal input in the portable multimedia player for recording. Then the first sound signal sensed by the second sound sensor is phase-reversed in the noise elimination unit and is combined into the first and second sound signals sensed by the first sound sensor during recording, comprising: a second sound sensor, used to sense a first sound signal generated by the motor, and a noise elimination unit, used to receive the first and second sound signals sensed by the first sound sensor, and the first sound signal sensed by the second sound sensor, then a combination operation is executed, thus eliminating the first sound signal and outputting the second sound signal.
