Abstract

This paper presents an overview of yield, reliability, burn-in, cost factors, and fault coverage as practiced in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Reliability and yield modeling can be used as a foundation for developing effective stress burn-in, which in turn can warranty high-quality semiconductor products. Yield models are described and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Both yield-reliability relationships and relation models bet\veen yield and reliability are thoroughly analyzed in regard to their importance to semiconductor products. © 1999 IEEE.
