Cut Defects, Not Yield: Outlier Detection with ML Precision

Cut Defects, Not Yield: Outlier Detection with ML Precision
by Kalar Rajendiran on 03-20-2025 at 10:00 am
Categories: Analytics, Automotive, EDA, IP, proteanTecs

How much perfectly good silicon is being discarded in the quest for reliability? During high-volume chip manufacturing, aggressive testing with strict thresholds may ensure quality but reduces yield, discarding marginal chips that could function flawlessly. On the other hand, prioritizing yield risks allowing defective… Read More

Variable Cell Height Track Pitch Scaling Beyond Lithography

Variable Cell Height Track Pitch Scaling Beyond Lithography
by Fred Chen on 03-20-2025 at 6:00 am
Categories: Lithography

Two approaches compared

With half-pitch approaching 10 nm, EUV patterning is heavily impacted by stochastic effects, which are aggravated from reduced image contrast from electron blur [1]. A two-mask (“LELE”: Litho-Etch-Litho-Etch) approach was proposed to pattern core features for self-aligned double patterning (SADP)… Read More
