Silicon Precipitates Counts and Size Study in Aluminium Bond Pads 铝焊盘中硅析出物的数量和尺寸研究
L. W. Lee, Mohamad Esa Azlin MohdNoor, M. M. Raj
(Al) based metallization has been widely used in semiconductor due to the process ability and the material behavior. However, pure Al based material cannot be used due to the hillock issue, void formation and also Al spiking caused by interaction with silicon. Thus, small amount of Copper (Cu) and Silicon (Si) precipitates were introduced into the Al layer to resolve these issues. Nowadays the bond pads metallization has becoming thinner owing to the recent semiconductor needs thus the presence of big Si precipitates will have risk leading to cratering issue in wire-bonding process. Here in, we report for the first time on how to quantify the Si precipitates counts and Si precipitates size in Al based metallization through failure analysis methods.
铝基金属化由于其优良的工艺性能和材料性能,在半导体领域得到了广泛的应用。然而,纯铝基材料不能使用,因为小山问题,空洞的形成和Al与硅的相互作用引起的尖峰。因此,在Al层中引入少量的铜(Cu)和硅(Si)沉淀来解决这些问题。如今,由于最近半导体的需求,键合垫金属化变得越来越薄,因此大Si析出物的存在将有导致线键合过程中产生陨石坑问题的风险。在本文中,我们首次报道了如何通过失效分析方法量化铝基金属化过程中Si析出相数量和Si析出相尺寸。

Enhancing the SRAM Failure Analysis Process 加强SRAM失效分析过程
R. Mendaros
The advent of the 65nm silicon fabrication technology node and smaller geometries; particularly for static random-access memory (SRAM) array, posed several Failure Analysis (FA) challenges such as the fault isolation capability limitations, physical FA (PFA) approach identification intricacy, defect node localization complexity and defect to fail mode correlation difficulty. To address these challenges, device defect modeling (DDM) process through software simulations and building of defect databases were introduced. Through the aid of the DDM process, defect sites were reduced to a single transistor or node from the SRAM array. Defect models were derived from the simulation process that guided analysts in identifying the suitable PFA approach. DDM process was effective in the failure mechanism to failure mode simulations. The DDM process was likewise instrumental in building defect databases for SRAM layout designs. These databases contained relevant information such as circuit simulation results, fabrication material stacking, suggested fault isolation techniques and potential defect locations that served as references for analysts.
65纳米硅制造技术节点和更小几何形状的出现;特别是对于静态随机存取存储器(SRAM)阵列,存在故障隔离能力限制、物理随机存取存储器(PFA)方法识别复杂性、缺陷节点定位复杂性和缺陷与故障模式关联困难等问题。为了解决这些问题,介绍了通过软件仿真和缺陷数据库的建立来进行器件缺陷建模(DDM)的过程。通过DDM工艺的帮助,缺陷点被减少到单个晶体管或节点从SRAM阵列。缺陷模型是从仿真过程中导出的,它指导分析人员确定合适的PFA方法。DDM方法在失效机理到失效模式的模拟中是有效的。DDM过程同样有助于为SRAM布局设计构建缺陷数据库。这些数据库包含电路仿真结果、制造材料堆叠、建议的故障隔离技术和潜在缺陷位置等相关信息,为分析人员提供参考。

Analysis of SEE modes in ferroelectric random access memory using heavy ions 利用重离子分析铁电随机存取存储器中的SEE模式
Jianan Wei, Hongxia Guo, Fengqi Zhang, G. Guo, Chaohui He
The single event effects (SEE) in ferroelectric random access memories (FRAM) are investigated and the error modes are analyzed using heavy ions. Under the irradiation of heavy ions with high linear energy transfer (LET) values, data upsets are dominated by "0" to "1" upsets of which the cross section is larger than that of "1" to "0" upsets by an order of magnitude and most upsets are detected in addresses with the all "1" error pattern (FFFFH). In addition, most of the upsets occur in events that involve several consecutively accessed addresses. With the increase of ion LET, the percentage of the data upsets in events involving more than 10 consecutively accessed addresses increases monotonically.

The Solutions of Bit Line Failure Analysis: Low kV E-Beam, EBAC and LVI 位线故障分析的解决方法:低千伏电子束、EBAC和LVI
Link Chang, Rick HC Wang, Andy Chang, Simon T. C. Wang, Yu Pang Chang, C. G. Song
As the analysis of SRAM Memory Built In Self Test (MBIST), some failure modes such as single bit (SB) or dual bit (DB) failure can be localized accurately. The inspection area of SRAM SB/DB is around 1~2um2. Traditionally, we can use the Focus Ion Beam (FIB) for cross section (X-S) checking as a much quicker inspection. However, X-S FIB inspection is not suitable to analyze some other failure modes such as bit line (BL) failure, which has a larger inspection area, around 200um2. We usually use the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and I-Beam Voltage Contrast (VC) methods to have a plane-view check along the failed BL to find any abnormality. Sometimes a tiny defect is not easy to observe by plane-view checking. In this paper, three alternative methods, Low kV Electron Beam (E-Beam), Electron Beam Absorbed Current (EBAC) and Laser Voltage Image (LVI) are used in three real cases, and achieve a goal of higher hit rate and shorter cycle time.
通过对SRAM内存内建自检(MBIST)的分析,可以准确地定位出单比特(SB)或双比特(DB)等故障模式。SRAM SB/DB的检测面积约为1~2um2。传统上,我们可以使用聚焦离子束(FIB)进行横截面(X-S)检查,这是一种更快的检查。但是,X-S FIB检测不适合分析其他一些故障模式,如位线(BL)故障,其检测面积较大,在200um2左右。我们通常使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和i束电压对比(VC)方法沿着失效的BL进行平面检查,以发现任何异常。有时一个微小的缺陷是不容易观察到的平面视图检查。本文采用低千伏电子束(E-Beam)、电子束吸收电流(EBAC)和激光电压成像(LVI)三种替代方法,在三个实际案例中实现了更高的命中率和更短的周期时间。

This paper discusses the local optical properties and the morphologies of interface and oxide layer of SiO2/SiC. The cross-section morphology of the SiO2/SiC after polishing and etching was illustrated by scanning electron microscopy, and the refractive index was characterized by ellipsometry. The ellipsometry based on multilayer interface model is better than that based on single-interface model in reflecting the gap layer and the different typical interface layers across the interface. A correlation is found between morphology and refractive index under the temperature range from 600 °C to 900 °C. The capacitance model including multilayer interface is established for sensitivity component in pressure sensor, and the maximum rate of capacitance drift is 3.56%.

Jinli Zhang, Hailong You, Renxu Jia
This paper presents a new method for characterizing device reliability hazard by using wafer-level spatial analysis. The method is based on the combination of the LOF algorithm and KNN algorithm, which can effectively identify and quantify the reliability of the device and detect local outliers. Outlier devices often have serious reliability hazard. This approach takes into account variations in device measurement data due to process variations on the wafer, increasing device reliability and saving cost. The method is verified using the electrical parameter measurements of devices. The results are compared with traditional method.

Enhanced Package Fault Isolation Method Using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Incorporation with Mathematics 时域反射与数学相结合的改进包故障隔离方法
Lan Yin Lee, Kok Keng Chua
Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has gained attention in electrical verification for electronic components over the years. TDR works by sending a series of short pulses through a transmission line under investigation, and measures the reflections that result from a signal travelling through a transmission environment. [1], [2] It is often being used for short or open failures defect localization, to isolate whether the short/ open failure is in the die region or package region. With the enhancement of process technology and increase of layers in the package/ silicon die, and due to limitation of reference medium, the results produced by using TDR can only be used as a rough guide, i.e. based on the TDR results, we can only narrow the open/ short failure to be in the die or package, we could not tell which layer of package the short/open is. This paper demonstrates some successful cases with the incorporation of mathematics together with the use of TDR machine. Open failure can be accurately localized down to specific substrate layer via mathematics calculation. Physical failure analysis further confirmed the accuracy of this method by showing the defect at that specific layer in those cases.
时域反射法(TDR)近年来在电子元件的电气验证中得到了广泛的关注。TDR的工作原理是通过被调查的传输线发送一系列短脉冲,并测量信号在传输环境中传播所产生的反射。[1],[2]常用于短失效或开故障缺陷定位,以隔离短失效/开故障是在模具区还是在封装区。随着工艺技术的提高和封装/硅模层数的增加,由于参考介质的限制,使用TDR产生的结果只能作为一个粗略的指导,即根据TDR结果,我们只能缩小在芯片或封装中的开/短故障,我们无法判断出短/开在封装的哪一层。本文结合数学和TDR机的应用,给出了一些成功的实例。通过数学计算,可以精确地定位到特定的衬底层。物理失效分析通过在这些情况下显示特定层的缺陷进一步证实了该方法的准确性。

Increased Fault Isolation Efficiency by Using Scan Cell Visualizer for Scan Chain Failures 通过使用扫描单元可视化工具处理扫描链故障,提高了故障隔离效率
Peter Chua Thin Wei, Foo Loke Sheng, Ng Kim Choo, K. Serrels, Kuyt Ku, Curt Lin, Tang Chih-yi
Scan design, being part of the most commonly practiced form of Design for Testability (DFT) has been developed to enable software based diagnosis for scan chain failures. Tessent Diagnosis helps to narrow down the reported failures to a suspected failing chain [1] - [5]. Unfortunately, scan chains can consist of hundreds to thousands of individual latches that can represent potential defect candidates and are typically distributed across the entire chip. Implementing global fault isolation techniques, which includes Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM) analysis, can lead to a collection of numerous anomalous emission spots. Cross mapping both the PEM results and the hundreds to thousands of individual scan cells to the CAD layout is both time-consuming and labor intensive. Moreover, selective cross mapping does not reveal the scan latches in chronological order, which is important for any scan chain analysis. One possible solution is to spatially map the scan latch list from the diagnosis file to the CAD layout to visualize the scan latch distribution quickly. This paper describes the use of this Scan Cell Visualizer through the use of case studies to demonstrate improved layout mapping efficiency and reduced overall failure analysis cycle time.
扫描设计,作为可测试性设计(DFT)最常用的实践形式的一部分,已经开发出基于软件的扫描链故障诊断。Tessent诊断有助于将报告的故障缩小到可疑的故障链[1]-[5]。不幸的是,扫描链可以由数百到数千个单独的锁存器组成,这些锁存器可以代表潜在的候选缺陷,并且通常分布在整个芯片上。实施全局故障隔离技术,包括光子发射显微镜(PEM)分析,可以导致许多异常发射点的集合。交叉映射PEM结果和数百到数千个单独的扫描单元到CAD布局既耗时又费力。此外,选择性交叉映射不能按时间顺序显示扫描锁存,这对于任何扫描链分析都是重要的。一种可能的解决方案是将扫描锁存列表从诊断文件空间映射到CAD布局,以快速可视化扫描锁存分布。本文通过案例研究描述了Scan Cell Visualizer的使用,以展示改进的布局映射效率和减少的整体故障分析周期时间。

This paper describes the use of this Scan Cell Visualizer through the use of case studies to demonstrate improved layout mapping efficiency and reduced overall failure analysis cycle time.","PeriodicalId":169775,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Physical and Failure Analysis of Integrated Circuits (IPFA)","volume":"52 47","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114005911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
