Asymmetries in wafer map defects are usually treated as random production hardware defects. For example, asymmetric wafer defects can be caused by particles inadvertently deposited on a wafer during ...
The shift from planar SoCs to 3D-ICs and advanced packages requires much thinner wafers in order to improve performance and reduce power, reducing the distance that signals need to travel and the ...
The Chinese module maker and the Australian National University utilized phosphorus diffusion gettering and another defect mitigation strategy to improve the quality of n-type wafers. The proposed ...
