Abstract
This paper describes a technique used successfully to locate the fail site in MOSFET (LSI) Logic Chips. It is used to analyze modules or chips which fail functionally during electrical test. Signal tracing is employed to locate the fail site while dynamically exercising the chip. This technique emphasizes the analysis of AC fails (timing problems) and chips with sputtered SiO2 (Quartz) passivation.
