Abstract :
This paper presents a comprehensive defect analysis of a 0.8 μm BiCMOS fabrication technology. The study involved both current-mode logic (CML) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, The analysis is based on defect macro models which are used to perform a comprehensive study for each bipolar and each MOS transistor where both hard and soft defects are present. This detailed study shows that although fault coverage can reach 100% by combining different methods of testing, the defect coverage does not reach this level for logic components
