  • Abstract
    The design of contact defect test structures is described. The results from measurements of polysilicon contact defect test structures on a series of wafer lots are given. The different types of yield models used for yield projections are also described. Even if an open contact does occur in an isolation transistor, for example, it is shown that the isolation integrity remains essentially unchanged
