  • Abstract
    Although the fractal yield model is very successful in VLSI applications, it also exposes a mathematical inconsistency. Expressing the average number of faults in each sub array, the average number of faults in the complete array, according to this approach, is not statistically correct. This, therefore, is a fractal paradox
