Investigation of via2 chain test structure high resistance failure

This report covers an investigation into the failure mechanism behind the via resistance failure in an electrical test structure. Intermittent high resistance failures occur in the via 2 chain test structure for a certain process. The failed wafers showed marginally high resistance at max 4 ohm/via...

Description
Summary:This report covers an investigation into the failure mechanism behind the via resistance failure in an electrical test structure. Intermittent high resistance failures occur in the via 2 chain test structure for a certain process. The failed wafers showed marginally high resistance at max 4 ohm/via (max specification: 1.2 ohm/via).
