摘要:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for estimating the failure rate of semiconductor devices includes obtaining accelerated stress duration data for a plurality of semiconductor devices, determining which of the semiconductor devices fail, classifying the defects for the failed semiconductor devices, determining a distribution model for the accelerated stress duration data, determining a set of parameters for the distribution model, determining a relative proportion of each defect classification to the total number of defect classifications, determining temperature and voltage acceleration factors for each defect classification, identifying actual operating conditions for the semiconductor devices, comparing the actual operating conditions for the semiconductor device with the distribution model, and determining a defect ratio for the semiconductor devices at the actual operating conditions for a predetermined time period based on the comparison.
摘要:
A method for test data-driven detection of outlier semiconductor devices. Some illustrative embodiments may be a method used to test a semiconductor die comprising performing a burn-in test of a plurality of sample semiconductor dies to identify a failure of a defective semiconductor die, correlating variations in a parameter with the failure (the parameter comprising a characteristic associated with the plurality of sample semiconductor dies), defining a parameter constraint associated with the parameter, performing a production test of a production semiconductor die, and identifying the production semiconductor die as an outlier semiconductor die (the outlier semiconductor die passing the production test, but failing to conform to the parameter constraint).
摘要:
The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the pseudogene TDGF3 (Cripto-3) is expressed in cells and, in particular, that TDGF3 overexpression is associated with transformation of a cell, e.g., TDGF3 is overexpressed in cancer cell lines and cells from tumor tissue. Accordingly, the invention provides compositions, kits, and methods for detecting the presence of a TDGF3 polynucleotide or polypeptide in a sample. The invention further provides compositions, kits and methods for assessing whether a cell is transformed as well as for assessing whether a patient is a suitable candidate for an anti-Cripto antibody therapy.
