Extracting Defect Density and Size Distributions from Product ICs
September/October 2006 (vol. 23 no. 5)
pp. 390-400
Defect density and size distributions are difficult to characterize, especially if you have little or no access to test vehicles specifically designed for the purpose. The authors propose a new methodology for extracting that information directly from production test data on actual products.
