The Impact Of TOC In UPW Systems For The Electronics Industry
3/4/2008
During the past four decades the electronics industry has exponentially increased the number of circuits that are etched onto silicon chips. The increase in the number of circuits has significantly decreased the line-widths. Thereby, increasing by magnitudes the requirements for accurate and continuous measurement of the UPW system...

Test Structure Design For Parallel Testing
2/19/2008
Parallel testing provides higher throughput than conventional sequential testing. Although parallel testing can sometimes be performed successfully on existing test structures, efficient test execution without signal loss generally requires attention to various test structure details. Frequently, optimizing the test structures for parallel test will increase throughput significantly and improve measurement integrity

Implementation Of Wafer Level Parallel Test
12/13/2007
By Randall G. Lee, Keithley Instruments, Inc.
Parallel parametric test is an emerging strategy for wafer-level testing that involves concurrent execution of multiple tests on multiple scribe line test structures. It offers a relatively inexpensive way to increase throughput, thereby lowering the cost of ownership (COO) significantly. Just as important, as device scaling increases the randomness of failures, parallel testing can address the growing need to perform more tests on the same structures in less time. In this case, users can choose to either increase the number of tests performed at each site, or increase the number of sites -
Parallel Parametric Measurements Reduce Test Costs
11/15/2007
By Randall Lee, Keithley Instruments, Inc.
As the dimensions of modern integrated circuits continue to shrink, device fabrication and parametric testing have become more challenging. Every device shrink, process innovation, and new material makes the volume and repeatability of parametric test data more critical in process development and the control of modern fabs. Today’s fabs must understand how to produce and characterize advanced materials such as high-K gate dielectrics and low-K insulators used in conductive layers – quickly and cost-effectively. Tomorrow’s IC producers may need to manufacture and test transistors formed from carbon nanotubes or other technologies that researchers have just begun to explore.
