This paper describes a case study using an Intra-Die Variation Probe (IDVP) test to screen out Infant Mortality (IM) failures. The approach is pursued by applying the learning of yield and reliability on 45 nm process technology for the System-On-A-Chip (SoC) products. Using this approach, the IDVP test is determined as a better reliability screen than the Electrical Test (E-Test), due to poor E-Test coverage in the Gross Failure Area (GFA). It has been revealed that the GFA only becomes visible after Burn In stress and we found that the IM failures are a mixture of post-stress Automated Test Equipment (ATE) failures. This approach will produce an outgoing level of quality that enables the 45 nm SoC products to reduce burn-in sampling in the production flow and will be proliferated to the 32 nm process technology products. © 2011 IEEE. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79960870879&doi=10.1109%2fISCAS.2011.5938001&partnerID=40&md5=b3c291867a4d1067b3eeb16629098d65 id_number: 10.1109/ISCAS.2011.5938001 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings - IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems place_of_pub: Rio de Janeiro pagerange: 2055-2058 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424494736 issn: 02714310 citation: Abdul Latif, M.A. and Zain Ali, N.B. and Hussin, F.A.
