Manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs) using a split foundry process expands design space in IC fabrication by employing unique capabilities of multiple foundries and provides added security for IC designers [1] Defect localization and root cause analysis is critical to failure identification and implementation of corrective actions. In addition to split-foundry fabrication, the device addressed in this publication is .comprised of 8 metal layers, aluminum test pads, and tungsten thru-silicon vias (TSVs) making the circuit area > 68% metal. This manuscript addresses the failure analysis efforts involved in root cause analysis, failure analysis findings, and the corrective actions implemented to eliminate these failure mechanisms from occurring in future product.
