Abstract
A new sub-site stepped multi-resistor test structure for characterising small resistance mismatch effects in resistor ladders is introduced. Using a Kelvin measurement method and a statistical data evaluation technique, this approach enables identification of very small (<0.05%) systematic mismatch patterns, which are associated with local mechanical stress as well as nanometre scale mask writing artifacts.
