Abstract

A statistical method is described for reliability selection of dies on semiconductor wafers using critical wafer yield parameters. This is combined with other data from the wafer or module level reliability screens (such as voltage screen or burn-in) to obtain the relative latent defect density. Finally the modeled results are compared with actual results to demonstrate confidence in the model.
