摘要
IC faults arise from manufacturing defects. Layout analysis is required to determine the yield that is limited by these defects and the probability-graded fault lists that can be used to determine the optimal testing sequence. This requires 1) Accurate analytical expressions relating layout geometries to likelihood of opens and shorts appearing during fabrication, and 2) efficient CAD methods to extract these geometries from the layout. This paper describes all these aspects as implemented in one unified CAD tool. Accuracy is enhanced through the addition of edge information and the validation of shorting defects
