Reliability and yield: A joint defect-oriented approach
Abstract
We present a model for computing the probability of a parametric failure due to a spot defect. The analysis is based on electromigration in conductors under unidirectional current stress. Analytical solution is given for simple layout and simulations for a more complicated case. Then we show that in some cases electromigration-dependent parametric defects can make a significant contribution to the total yield estimation. © 2004 IEEE.
