Strength Characterization

This paper discusses the characterization of an integrated circuit (IC) silicon die fracture strength to have a realistic die crack assessment. The evaluation was conducted using a 3-point bend test setup to measure the die strength of actual IC dies. Both the active side and the back side of the IC die were tested for 2 types of dies with different active side circuit layout. Results showed that the difference in the die active side circuit layout or structure has impact on die strength. It was also found that the active side was weaker than the back side. This implies that both the active side and the back side of an actual IC die must be subjected to fracture strength characterization to have an assessment that would be in a better agreement with real condition. Using only the strength of the back side would result in over-estimating the die strength. The common approach of using the fracture strength of the die back side to characterize the die strength is not realistic and can mislead the assessment of die crack or semiconductor package robustness.

Design And Synthesis

This work explains the process of designing and synthesizing a MOD 13 binary down counter using 180 nm CMOS technology transistors. The beginning of the count is a combination of 1110(2), the end of the count is 0010(2). Simulations are made at the circuit level (transient analysis) to verify that the circuit functions correctly, then the integrated circuit layout is prepared by connecting the components manually. Finally, the layout is simulated to see how the existence of parasitic resistances and capacitances affect the output signals and it is used to estimate the maximum allowable clock frequency (fclk).

<p><em>The author discusses the legal protection of integrated circuit layout design as provided by Law 32/2000 and compares it with how the government regulates and protect other sorts of intellectual property rights (copyright, trademarks, patents, etc.). The purpose of this comparison is to reveal shortcomings as well as the strength of each different regulations. This study reveals that Law 32/2000 as compared to other IPR protections has yet to provide legal protection of inventor’s moral rights, priority rights as well as temporary decision.  At the same time, all regulations cannot be fully implemented due to the lack of or insufficient implementing regulations. </em></p>
