small current vs. yield
Hi,good night everybody.
We know, for IC design, yield is the most important item we concern,and yield depends on many factors, such as process, the robust of circuit design, package and so on. Now I am going to know the relationship between current vs. yield. Say,
if the MOSFET in one analog IC operate under 100nA, and the MOSFET in another one operates under 1uA, (suppose all devices in these two devices are in active region), which one is inclined to get higher yield? And is there a kind of industrial standard to describe the lowest current allowed in a single MOSFET in order to get reasonable yield?
I hope what I am worrying about is unnecessary, but I really want to anyone could give me a clear picture about my confusing. Thanks advance! ^_^:|
