It takes about four to five weeks to fabricate a semiconductor memory device. During the fabrication process, there are possibilities to cause defects on fabricating a final product. It would be very difficult to repair a memory device fabricated with numerous defects. However, in case of a small number of defects, it is desirable to repair and reuse as a defective die (standard unit measuring a device on a wafer) rather than to discard it, because reusing is an essential element for memory device manufactures to effectively cut costs. To perform the reuse, laser-repair process and redundancy analysis for setting is needed to find an accurate target in the laser-repair process. In this paper, cost reduction has been attempted by saving time in carrying out a new type of redundancy analysis, after simulating each defect. |
