This refers to the root cause (capacitor dielectric breakdown) that was successfully uncovered after the thorough review on the die circuit schematic, inspection of the capacitors connected to the EIPD sites, review of the fault isolation results and pursuing the further physical failure analysis.
The mechanism of breakdown in capacitors with exposed electrodes is likely a surface flashover that is initiated at the weakest spot on the surface between two electrodes, and then spreads along the electrical field to the neighboring areas.
Surface breakdown in a large proportion of cross-sectioned capacitors occurred at the end of electrodes near the margin areas. The reason for this is likely similar to the bulk breakdown and is due to the increase of local electric field at the edges on the surface.
Similar to mechanically fractured capacitors, breakdown in cross-sectioned parts also resulted in formation of a thin glassy layer with embedded melted balls of electrode material that shorted the parts to the resistance in the kiloohms range. A large proportion of capacitors (up to 75% for some part types) failed at the margin areas.
Therefore, failure analysis of integrated capacitors is the key to identify the root cause but, on some cases, is also a challenging task. Three case studies were discussed that includes the FA approaches and techniques that were utilized to understand the defect sites.
To localize the defect site in the NWell capacitor, further fault isolation analysis using nanoprobing and EBIC techniques was performed confirming the leakage between the plates and detected localized hot spot. FIB cross section followed by STEM and/or TEM analyses found subtle gate oxide damage and/or rupture .
