Application of three-parameter lognormal distribution in EM data analysis

View publication

Abstract

The three-parameter lognormal distribution has been demonstrated for applications in electromigration data analysis, especially for Cu interconnect structures with insufficient redundancy. Examples are given on estimating parameter values from experimental data using the maximum likelihood method. Detailed analyses are presented on confidence bound estimations of the parameters and their propagation to lifetime projections. © 2006.
