The accuracy of capacitance and dissipation factor measurements depends on the quality of both the standard capacitor CN and the measuring bridge. The best low-voltage standard capacitors with 10 pF and 100 pF have a quartz or nitrogen insulation whose dissipation factors are in the range of (2–4) × 10 −6.
These elements are called Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitors, and they can be used as discrete die components or integrated into semiconductor circuits. The long history of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) gate capacitor developments have driven various improvements in measurement, characterization, defect detection methods for MIM capacitors.
Defect mitigation methods have reduced capacitor returns from customers significantly. Integrated circuit defectivity is becoming a top concern for Reliability Engineers and their customers. Device lifetimes and times to wearout are less important compared to the experience of an early or infant failure in the warranty period.
Employing the method of ramped voltage testing, special capacitor test structures are used for defect density monitoring and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) studies. In addition, automated optical inspection (AOI) of the test structures during fabrication allows the mapping of electrical failures back to corresponding visual artifacts.
