    摘要: A method and system for selectively identifying reliability risk die based on characteristics of local regions on a wafer by computing particle sensitive yield and using the particle sensitive yield to identify reliability risk die. Specifically, a bin characteristics database which identifies hard and soft bins that are sensitive to different failure mechanisms is maintained, and the bin characteristics database is used to compute particle sensitive yield. It is determined whether the particle sensitive yield of the local region around the current die is less than a pre-set threshold, and the die is downgraded if the particle sensitive yield of the local region around the current die is less than the pre-set threshold. If the particle sensitive yield of the local region around the current die is not less than the pre-set threshold, the die is not downgraded.

    摘要: A method for adaptively providing parametric limits to identify defective die quantizes the die into a plurality of groups according to statistical distributions, such as intrinsic speed in one embodiment. For each quantization level, an intrinsic distribution of the parameter is derived. Adaptive screening limits are then set as a function of the intrinsic distribution. Dies are then screened according to their parametric values with respect to the adaptive limits.

    摘要: A method of increasing the wafer yield for an integrated circuit includes the steps of receiving as input a shot map, an initial orientation of a center of the shot map relative to a center of a wafer resulting in a maximum number of printable die, a usable wafer diameter, a selected yield margin, and historical yield information for each die location in the shot map; generating a plot of an estimated yield for each die location in the wafer from the historical yield information; plotting an estimated wafer yield within an area of the wafer as a function of a radius; and selecting a sweet spot radius corresponding to an area of the wafer having a wafer yield that is substantially equal to the selected yield margin for finding an offset from the initial orientation of the center of the shot map that results in a maximum wafer yield.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for determining the likelihood that a known feature in an integrated circuit design will cause a defect during the manufacturing process. According to some of these techniques, various logical units that incorporate an identified design feature are identified, and the amount that the design feature occurs in each of a plurality of these logical units is determined. The failure rate of integrated circuit portions corresponding to at least these logical units are then obtained. A feature failure coefficient indicating the likelihood that the feature will cause a defect then is determined by correlating the failure rates with the amount of occurrences of the feature.
