Correlation of device manufacturing defect data with device electrical test data

摘要

Various embodiments related to correlating a location of a defect on a substrate for a semiconductor device to an electrical significance of a device structure at that location are disclosed. For example, one embodiment includes receiving a defect location for the location on the substrate where the defect was detected; receiving a physical representation of the semiconductor device for the defect location; generating a significance determination indicating whether the defect is located in an electrically significant region by correlating the defect location to logical and physical layout information included in the physical representation; and displaying the significance determination.
