  • Abstract
    CMOS chips are scaled to smaller geometries, the interconnects play an increasing role in the overall chip performance. This paper presents an integrated process for yield enhancement strategy to overcome a so-called "cosmetic defects" in 130- and 90-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process node.
