Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a hypothetical semiconductor process with a spacer thickness variation of ±2 nm, analyze how this could lead to yield issues and propose one method to rectify it.

💡 Hint: Consider the factors that lead to electrical failures on the die.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a new fabrication line, the target defect rate is below 1%. Based on the lessons learned from the patterns of past integration issues explored, strategize upon what procedures you would introduce.

💡 Hint: Reflect on what features were key in previous successful outcomes.
