    摘要: A method for depositing a copper seed layer onto a semiconductor substrate comprises applying a SCuD plating bath onto a surface of a substrate, rinsing the surface with an organic solvent, applying a co-reactant bath to the surface, and again rinsing the surface with an organic solvent. The SCuD plating bath is non-aqueous and comprises a copper precursor that is dissolved into an organic solvent. The co-reactant bath is also non-aqueous and comprises a co-reactant dissolved into an organic solvent. The SCuD plating bath may be heated before being applied to the substrate surface.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and systems for testing, analyzing, and improving integrated circuit yield and quality are disclosed herein. For example, in one exemplary embodiment, one or more fault dictionaries are generated for identifying one or more defect candidates from corresponding observation point combinations. In this exemplary method, the observation point combinations indicate the observation points of a circuit-under-test that captured faulty test values upon application of a respective test pattern. Further, the one or more fault dictionaries in one embodiment are generated by: (a) for a first defect candidate, storing one or more first indicators indicative of test patterns detecting the first defect candidate, and (b) for a second defect candidate, storing at least a second indicator indicative of the test patterns that detect the second defect candidate, the second indicator comprising a bit mask that indicates which of the test patterns detecting the first defect candidate also detect the second defect candidate.
