Useful to give quick result in failure analysis lab with limited resources. Solve short or open related defects related to capacitor structures. Capacitor is one of the most basic passive components on any integrated circuit (IC) chip, such as memory, mixed-signal, or radiofrequency (RF) devices.
Therefore, failure analysis of integrated capacitors is the key to identify the root cause but, on some cases, is also a challenging task. Three case studies were discussed that includes the FA approaches and techniques that were utilized to understand the defect sites.
Advancements in failure analysis have been made in root cause determination and stress testing methods of capacitors with extremely small (approximately 200 nm) defects. Subtrac-tive imaging has enabled a non-destructive means of locating a capacitor short site, reducing the FIB resources needed to analyze a defect.
Capacitor defects significantly contribute to infant and latent failures in integrated circuits. This paper will address methods of locating capacitor defects and root cause determi-nation. Keysight Technologies’ failure analysis team investigated tens of failures in an externally purchased voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
Failure analysis (FA) on such capacitors is increasingly challenging with rising complexities in semiconductor manufacturing demands. In our previous paper, a simple circuit edit passive voltage contrast (CE-PVC) technique was introduced and applied in failure analysis.
