  • Dr. Nagesh Tamarapalli, AMD India Design Center, Bangalore.
    Title of the talk: Manufacturing Yield and its Impact for Complex SoCs
    Time: 09:00 -- 10:00     Date: 2nd March     Venue: Room 254

    Abstract:

    Semiconductor yield has traditionally been limited by random particle-defect based issues. However, as the feature sizes reduced to 90nm and below, systematic mechanism-limited yield loss began to appear as a substantial component in yield loss. In addition, it is becoming clear that ramping yield would take longer and final yields would not reach historical norms. A key factor for not reaching previously attained yield levels is the interaction between design and manufacturing. Yield losses in the newer processes include functional defects, parametric defects and issues with testing. Each of these sources of yield loss needs to be analyzed and understood by designers and tool developers. The objective of this presentation is to give a glimpse of the various yield issues and the impact they can have on semiconductor companies.


    Biography:

    Dr. Nagesh Tamarapalli is a Fellow with AMD India Design Center in Bangalore, India, where he is engaged in DFT and manufacturing test development for the next generation low-power Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). Prior to AMD, he was with Mentor Graphics DFT group where he worked on logic BIST, test compression and diagnosis tools. He has published in leading test conferences such as International Test Conference, Asian Test Symposium and journals such IEEE Transactions on CAD. He is the co-inventor of 15 approved US patents in the area of testing. He holds MS in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India and PhD in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
