Data from several projects show a significant relationship between the size of a module and its defect density. Here we address implications of this observation. Does the overall ...
Defect density and defect size distributions (DDSDs) are key parameters used in IC yield loss predictions. Traditionally, memories and specialized test structures have been used t...

Growth of pixel density and sensor array size increases the likelihood of developing in-field pixel defects. An ongoing study on defect development in imagers has now provided us ...
