Definitions for System on Chip Test Requirements Table: [1] Area investment of random pattern logic BIST consists of BIST controller and test points. [2] Area investment of compressed deterministic pattern test consists of controller and test points. [3] This shows the number of pattern count (number of captures), which corresponds to various fault models. [4] This is proportional to the overall pattern count and inversely proportional to internal scan data rate. [5] We set the requirement that test application time per gate should be stable. [6] The size of ATE vector memory is assumed to increase as fast as DRAM bit size increases. [7] Growing number of row & column spares, and both divided and shared spares for segments in the future. [8] The current BISR for two dimensional repair is limited to a few row and column spares. [9] Common interface of test logic embedded in memory hard macro for high-speed testing. [10] IEEE1500 is an example. Standardization of I/F for re-usable IP Cores. [11] STIL (Test Interface Language, IEEE1450.x) is an example. I/F should include not only test vectors, but also parametric factors. [12] A method to obtain overall test quality measure of SoC considering all cores; logic, memory and analog.

Probe technologies to support peripheral fine pitch probe of 23 m peripheral staggered pad probe at effective pitches of 20/40, and fine pitch (45 m) for dual row, non-staggered probing on a four die sides. Fine pitch vertical probe technologies to support 130 m pitch area array solder bump and 50 m pitch staggered pad devices. Multi-site pad probing technologies with corner pitch capability below 125 m. Reduction of pad damage at probe commensurate with pad size reductions (or better). Alternative probe technology for 75 m on 150 m pitch dense array (vertical probe; bumped device). Increasing probe array planarity requirements in combination with increasing array size. Need a probe technology to handle the complexity of SoC devices while probing more than one device. Current probe technologies have I/O limitations for bumped device probes.
Parallel test
Reduce effects on probes for non-ambient testing -50C to 150C; especially for fine-pitch device For effects on Handlers and Probers, see that section.
Probe technologies to direct probe on copper bond pads including various oxidation consideration Probe technologies for probing over active circuitry (including flip-chip).
Probe force
Reduce per pin force required for good contact resistance to lower total load for high pin count an multi DUT probe applications. Evaluation and reduction of probe force requirements to eliminate die damage, including interlayer dielectric damage with lo A chuck motion model is required to minimize probe damage
Probe cleaning
Development of high temperature (85C150C) in situ cleaning mediums/methods, particularly f fine pitch, multi-DUT, and non-traditional probes. Reduction of cleaning requirements while maintaining electrical performance to increase lifetime. A self cleaning probe card is required for fine pitch bumped pad devices
Fine pitch or high pin count probe cards are too expensive and take too long to build. Time and cost to repair fine pitch or high pin count probe cards is very high. The time between chip design completion (tape-out) and the availability of wafers to be probed less than the time required to design and build a probe card in almost every probe technology except traditional cantilever. Space transformer lead times are too long, thus causing some vertical probe technologies to have lengthy lead-times. Tools are required that support fine pitch probe characterization and pad damage measurements. Metrology correlation is needed for post repair test versus on-floor usage.
Probe metrology
Probe technologies will need to incorporate thermal management features capable of handling device power dissipations approaching 1000 Watts and the higher currents ( 1.5 amp) flowin through individual probe points.
Contact resistance
Probe technologies that achieve contact resistance <.5 Ohms initially and throughout use are need A method to measure contact resistance is needed. The traditional continuity test is insufficient to monitor contact resistance.
Traditional probe technologies do not have the necessary electrical bandwidth for higher frequenc devices. At the top end are RF devices, requiring up to 40 GHz.

Manufacturable solutions exist, and are being optimized Manufacturable solutions are known Interim solutions are known u Manufacturable solutions are NOT known Notes: [1] For pitches less than 0.3mm contactor molding becomes difficult due to the thin wall thickness between pins. [2] For higher performance, a shorter probe spring is required which shortens the contact stroke. In 2019, the contact stroke will be 0.2mm so the contact resistance will be unstable. [3] The spring probe must be coaxial for high-speed test. 20GT/s cannot be supported with finer pitches. [4] Ball height is expected to change over the roadmap but amount of change is not known. [5] A contact stroke of 0.15mm was assumed with a 0.5mm rubber thickness. For high ball count devices the contact pressure has been lowered.

Difficult Challenges 22 nm 1. Scaling of MOSFETs to the 22 nm technology generation
Scaling planar bulk CMOS will face significant challenges due to the high chann required, band-to-band tunneling across the junction and gate-induced drain leak random doping variations, and difficulty in adequately controlling short channel e Also, keeping parasitics, such as series source/drain resistance with very shallow and fringing capacitance, within tolerable limits will be significant issues.

This implementation will be challenging, with numerous new and difficult particularly challenging issue is the control of the thickness and its variability for thin MOSFETs, as well as control of parasitic series source/drain resistance for v regions. 2.

[1] From ORTC (Overall Roadmap Technology Characteristics) Table 1a and b. These DRAM half pitch numbers are the same as those in the 2006 ITRS d pace of DRAM half pitch scaling during 2006.
[2] The DRAM cell size is driven by the values for DRAM capacity (bits per chip) and chip size, as discussed in more detail in the Front End Process chap numbers are based on the ORTC Tables 1a and 1b. Since the DRAM capacity and chip size numbers are quite aggressive, the cell size must also be scaled
in reducing the value of the cell size factor a, where a equals (cell size /F 2 ) and F is the DRAM half pitch. The required values of a are 6 for 68 nm
[3] Storage node cell dielectric EOT is defined as (dielectric physical thickness / [/3.9]), where is the relative dielectric constant of the storage node cel dielectric constant of thermal SiO 2 . The value of EOT is driven by the values for DRAM capacity (bits per chip) and chip size, as discussed in more detail The capacity and the chip size numbers used by FEP are from the ORTC Tables 1a and 1b. Since the values of DRAM capacity and chip size from FEP are also be scaled very aggressively. Up to 2009, the dielectric material is based on Al 2 O 3 or HfO 2 , and hence the color is white. Beyond 2009, breakthroug higher insulator material of epsilon more than 40 and physical thickness of less than 9nm are needed, so the color is yellow. Finally, for 2012 and beyo with demonstrated credibility, and hence the color is red. The actual EOT required for each year also depends on other factors such as cell height and/or 3 and contact formation.
[4] The DRAM storage node capacitor voltage must be low enough that the resulting electric field in the dielectric (see Note [5]) is within acceptable limit
[5] The equivalent electric field in the capacitor dielectric is (DRAM storage node capacitor voltage / DRAM storage node dielectric equivalent oxide thic the electric field if the dielectric is silicon dioxide; if the dielectric is high- k, the actual electric field is [equivalent field]/[ k /3.9]. Note the sharp increase The color turns yellow in 2009, when the field is 7.5 MV/cm, and red in 2012, when the field becomes 13.75 MV/cm..
[6] DRAM cell MOSFET structure migrates from RCAT (recessed channel array transistor) to FinFET. RCAT is a technology to improve retention time ch recessed channel structure. FinFET is used to increase the drive current in the limited cell FET area and also to improve retention time characteristics.
[7] DRAM cell FET dielectric EOT is defined as (dielectric physical thickness / [/3.9]), where is the relative dielectric constant of the DRAM cell FET d dielectric constant of thermal SiO 2 . The EOT values here are large, mainly because of the high word line voltage levels (see Note 8) and the need to keep within tolerable limits (see Note 9)
[8] Maximum word line level is the (highly boosted) gate voltage for cell FET devices. The high gate voltage is required to get enough device drive current back gate voltage at the operating condition.
[9] Negative word line is used to suppress sub-threshold leakage current of cell transistor even in the case of lower level of V t value of cell FET. The low current of cell FET.
[10] The equivalent electric field in the cell FET device dielectric is (maximum word line level / DRAM cell FET dielectric equivalent oxide thickness, EOT electric field if the dielectric is silicon dioxide; if the dielectric is high- k , the actual field is [equivalent field]/[ k /3.9]. [11] Cell size factor = a = (DRAM cell size/F 2 ), where F is the DRAM pitch. The required values of a are 6 for 2007 and beyond. In contrast, the 2005 8 in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

[12] Array area efficiency is the ratio of cell array area to total chip area. Hence, array area efficiency = 1 / (1 + [peripheral circuit area]/NaF ), where of bits per chip), F is the DRAM pitch, and a is the cell size factor (see Note 9). For a = 8, array area efficiency is estimated to be 0.63, so when a is dec area efficiency of 0.56 is made in conjunction with a = 6, assuming the same relative peripheral circuit area.
[13] Retention time is defined at 85C, and is the minimum time during which the data from memory can still be sensed correctly without refreshing a row the value needed for PC applications. The retention time depends on the combined interaction of device leakage current, signal strength, and signal sensin depends on operational frequency and temperature. [14] This is a typical FIT rate and depends on cycle time and the quality of cell capacitor and sensing circuits.
[15] V int is the nominal power supply voltage for DRAM support FET in peripheral circuit area. It has been chosen to maintain sufficient voltage over-dr saturation current drive values while still maintaining reasonable vertical gate dielectric electric field strengths.
[16] DRAM support MOS FET dielectric EOT is defined as (dielectric physical thickness / [/3.9]), where is the relative dielectric constant of the DRAM relative dielectric constant of thermal SiO 2 . [17] Support PMOS FET Gate electrode material migrates from P+Poly/W to TiN.
[18] DRAM support MOS FET dielectric material migrates from SiON to HfSiON in order to leakage current to meet.
[19] Physical support min. L gate for NMOS FET is the final, as-etched length of the bottom of the gate electrode.
[20] Support I sat-n (the saturation drive current for support NMOS FET) is defined as the NMOSFET drain current per micron device width with the gate V int (see Note [15]) and the source and substrate biases set to zero at 25C, namely V g =V d =V int ).

Notes for Table PIDS5a and b: [1] NAND Flash has surpassed CMOS and DRAM technology since 2005. This entry provides the F value for designs in the indicated time period.
[2] NAND Flash architecture consists of bit line strings of a number of storage devices. Long bit line strings reduce the overhead for bit line transistors and incr current. The number of word lines in a bit line string has increased from 16 to 32 nm.
[3] Because of the difficulty in maintaining high gate coupling ratio and preventing cross talk between neighboring cells, NAND technology is forecasted to migr for sub 50nm DRAM and NAND Flash manufacturing, in Tech. Digest International Electron Devices Meeting, pp. 539-543, 2005.) The statistical fluctuation li few electron phenomena on floating gate memory reliability, Tech. Digest 2004 International Electron Devices Meeting, pp. 877-880, 2004.) and 3D integra dimensionally stacked NAND Flash memory technology using stacking single crystal Si layers on ILD and TANOS structure for beyond 30nm node, Tech. Dige thin-film transistor (TFT) NAND-type Flash memory, Tech. Digest 2006 International Electron Devices Meeting, pp. 41-44, 2006.)
[4] The area factor a = cell area per bit/F 2 , so this entry presents the expected range for Flash cell area in multiples of the implementation technology F 2 .

[7] Gate coupling ratio (GCR) is defined as (control gate to floating gate capacitance)/(total floating gate capacitance). GCR represents the fraction of voltage operations. High GCR is normally achieved by wrapping the control gate around the sidewalls of the floating gate. This requires tall floating gate and the cross the spacing between floating gates may become too narrow for the IPD and control gate to wrap around and maintaining sufficiently high GCR is a difficult chall

The introduction of high- IPD, with a material such as p-type polysilicon or metal gate may have to be adopted. [9] Low write and erase voltage is desirable but EOT for tunnel oxide and IPD must be decreased to allow lower W/E voltage without compromising W/E speed.
