CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The IC design and test community's quest to achieve fewer than 100 defective parts per million (DPPM) is becoming more difficult as process technologies move below 100 nanometers.
In addition to surface and subsurface defects, residual stress represents a concern. Over time, these stress points, ...
