Abstract

The influence of non-random defect distributions and of non-modelled faults on the behavior of the cumulative chip fallout as a function of the cumulative fault coverage is discussed. The theory is applied to published yield data and a novel explanation of the deviation of these data from the classical Williams-Brown theory is presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
