Abstract
The authors have developed a rapid failure analysis method for high-de nsity CMOS SRAMs, using realistic defect modeling and results of funct ional and I(DDQ) testing. Key to the method is the development of a de fect-to-signature vocabulary through inductive fault analysis. Results indicate that the method can efficiently debug the multimegabit-memor y manufacturing process.
